Now, this is the fifth time this has happened. I encounter a server connection problem in single player and am greeted with myself in a drone at the last place I docked when I start things up again. I've been able to retrace my steps to find my ship the other four times, but this time it's a bit more difficult. I know the general area, but have to resort to searching every sector methodically. I'm sure I'll find the ship eventually and am forced to livestream my game for fear of it happening again once I've found it (so I can look at my recording for sector coordinates).
I'm curious is anyone else has a better way of finding lost ships. This is frustrating to say the least.
