=== Why do I have negative money or items? ===
{{Version|Alpha 2}} has some bugs that cause your money or items to show negative values. While we wait for a resolution, here are some things you can try:
* Save your game and edit the [[save file]] to correct the quantity.
* If you have items you can't sell because it shows a negative value, save, quit, and reload the game. Then, try to sell the items again. You might need to repeat this multiple times, but it should work.
: This will only fail if you have too much money. Keep the cash well below 2.142 billion, or the money bug will become an issue.
=== I sold a spacesuit and my crew member disappeared ===
This is a graphical bug in Alpha 2. The crew member is still available and will continue to perform jobs. They are simply invisible.

=== How do I loot derelict ships? ===
=== How do I loot derelict ships? ===
To loot derelict ships, you need a [[Drone Bay]] and some [[Logistics Drone]]s. Once that system is set up, you must enable ''Gather Resources'' and ''Gather Salvage'' in the ''Orders'' menu. A crew member will load Drones into the Drone Bay to gather the loot.

=== I earned money in Hyperspace, but it disappeared after I exited ===
 
There is a known issue with the [[Contract#Analyse|Analyse]] contract rewards. In some cases, the reward money will be given while you are in Hyperspace, but the money will disappear when you exit Hyperspace. We are currently unaware of a fix for the issue.
=== The shuttle is docked to my ship, nothing is being unloaded, and it won't leave ===
=== The shuttle is docked to my ship, nothing is being unloaded, and it won't leave ===
A lack of storage space typically causes the shuttle to refuse to undock. There are things left that the shuttle needs to unload, but it has no room to place them anywhere. Use the ''Storage'' menu to assign general storage so crew members can continue unloading the shuttle. If lack of storage is not the issue, ensure that your crew is not prioritizing other tasks.
