This one isn't anything huge, but SOMETIMES on a restart it will not keep my characters' gender. When I've themed my ship (say, Serenity-style with Kaylee on the engines, Zoe on Weapons, and Wash piloting) it can be a little bit of an annoyance that causes me to go back to the hangar to re-do everything again. I have yet to find a solid pattern to when it happens, although I have a suspicion it is when I pick up extra crew members. Any clue why this is/if it will be addressed?
(edit) I should be specific here: The issue is only when I have female crewmembers. Whether I have selected to make them female or they have come up female through random generation, this still occurs. I have never had a male character switch to female. (/edit)
