i've had a very serious bug where  the starter capital ship randomly vanishes or blows up when playing random faction. i used to think it happens in about 1 out of 10 matches, but looking closer its alot more common. the difference is, whether it happens 1-10 minutes into the game, or in lategame when its not so noticeable unless you pay attention to it. i prefer playing random and almost always do, so i see it alot. most people dont play random, and those that dont say they've never seen or heard of it before.

my last was the first one where i was looking directly at the ship as it happened (30 seconds in). it was at full health with a singular flak frigate shooting at it, and exploded out of nowhere.
