I just launched the second daily of the day, investigation offer. Had it many times before, it's always in the exact same spot. I always beam to the nearby port and then engage autopilot. Then after a couple minutes you are there. Only this time the navigator must have been high. First the ship got stuck on the shore halfway there, then when I checked again it was far north of the location, and going further north. Reengaging autopilot just made it run away further from the proper direction, albeit possibly bravely.
Like I said, I have made the very same trip many times before, and the only potential for interruption was if we rammed a small random boat, but even then navigation was always successful. Now it's a complete mess.

Hello @orldan !

Sorry to hear there was an issue with the ship autopilot. Like you said, it can happen that you hit a boat or something similar that can knock you a bit off course, and that can lead to a complete interruption of it, especially if you've had enough speed and were relatively close to the shore.

Has this happened before or since? I've already sent feedback to the development team regarding the navigation on ship, especially on smaller rivers (like in some River Raids maps) and they're looking into that.

Thanks for jumping in Randelia - that's definitely a good shout! 👍

Have you encountered these issues again since @orldan ? Let us know if you've fully updated your game to the newest version and if this is something that happened before the update as well, thanks! 😊
