Failing Shiver FW mission?
So I destroyed all the pug ships by Shiver but when I land it tells me I failed an essential story mission. What am I missing?

Because your passengers go into your fleet inventory, not always aboard your flagship, and if the ship carrying them dies the mission fails.

Oooh, yeah. That must be it. I can't tell which ship the passenger is on. The 'ship info' says Passengers:1 for every ship. But he wasn't on the flagship because I kept it full of crew for boarding. If I make space on the flagship does he default to there? Or will he just stay whereever he was before?

It's "not quite" random, but random enough to be a problem. IIRC there is a workaround, but it really isn't worth it. I may be wrong, but i think you can just hire extra crew on all of your escorts so that the passenger has no choice but to be on your flag ship. It's worth a shot, but don't quote me on that.

I've actually suggested and been shot down on a fix for this, I am continuing to work on it anyway, though. We'll see where this goes in the future.

He (or she) survived this time, anyway. So, thanks. :)

Passengers load onto the flagship first (after dealing with extra crew). Mission cargo loads onto the flagship last.

In theory but that has not been my experience in replication. Even when my ship has no extra crew, i often have passengers skip free bunks on the flagship and go into fleet inventory
