okay, so i went back to where the ship is according to the transition zone, and the ship is there... mostly
@ChlorideCull look out Wonder Woman there's a new invisible aircraft in town
@Gulfie hers would be a thousand times better because it's not stuck at zero speed
i have never been so happy to see my ship fly away before
(had to go to the ship builder, where i renamed it and added a part, to refresh the data - i then swapped home ship back and forth, which finally fixed it)
