A newly reported glitch in Elite Dangerous affects the Nomad Mothership module deployed from the Type-11 explorer. Players have experienced the mothership descending rapidly and vertically into planetary surfaces with near-Earth gravity (0.99 G), resulting in immediate destruction and costly insurance rebuy fees. The issue appears unrelated to collisions with the deploying ship, indicating a critical fault in the deployment mechanics. This bug poses a significant risk to explorers and miners relying on the Nomad for extended operations. Commanders are advised to exercise caution when deploying the Nomad until a fix is confirmed.
- Nomad Mothership falls at high speed into planets with ~0.99 G gravity.
- No collision detected before crash, suggesting a deployment glitch.
