quests disappear due to flawed save/continue-system?

[guggis]

I was at the quest you were given in the engi homeworld, that gives you the stealth cruiser. I had defeated the first one of the two ships, and went on to the next quest marker, but decided to take a break so i saved and quit right before. now when i resumed, the quest marker is simply gone, and the node where i'm sure it was at, is a different encounter.

i assume this could have something to do with the fact that i got the quest late in the engi homeworld, so the quest markers ended up in the next area. maybe this cased it to "forget" about the quest and re-randomize? anyhow it's nearly game-breaking for me

it's extremely frustrating since this is my 5th or something playthrough where i play specifically play to get the stealth cruiser (once earlier i got to the quest but let them get away, so i know how the quest plays out), but now i fail simply because of what seems to be a bug

What version of FTL are you using? The most up to date version has a number of fixes for disappearing quests, but if it's happened again since the last update then it's something I'll have to look into.

Terribly sorry about the lost quest
