To quote Han Solo, "It's not my fault!" I braved the attack of the clones to try and figure out what the problem was with the Chronomancer quest. It turns out that the 1.10 patch broke the CopyObject script. While it copies the object, it doesn't return the object variable, so all subsequent calls using that variable fail horribly.

There's sort of a workaround, which is to look for the object once it's been created. I'll need some time to dig through my code looking for all the CopyObject functions. Some things may stay broken until the 1.11 patch, unfortunately. For example, I'm getting reports that you can't buy cargo, crew, and the like, which I suspect is related. It may be harder to deal with stackable copied objects, but perhaps there are ways to deal with that as well.

Finally, I had a great time in Disneyland with the family, including my life-long dream to eat at the Blue Bayou restaurant in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. We all had a great time and I'm refreshed to leap back into the fray of debugging.
