OK - dumb shuttle launch question

[jefflackey]

OK - been flying as a military commander for a while (getting my butt kicked) so I thought I't try something different. So I started a career/roam as a Terran Commercial Commander. I figured I'd be a trader but with the teeth of an armed transport (Generis.)

So, I've been deploying mining drones on moons, etc. for a while in my other careers. Here, I run out to Pluto, go to a moon, set up a deploy drone waypoint on the moon fo SC1. No prob. Since I have no pilots, I send a marine to pilot SC1. OK, he'e in place. I try to launch the shuttle - no go. I get my flight engineer's face on screen when I try to launch the shuttle, but he doesn't say anything, and nothing happens. The shuttle is bright green, the marine is in place, but it just ignores me when I try to launch (the flight officer's face shows up with no message.) I tried another shuttle - same results. I tried a flight engineer instead of the marine, I tried an officer, all with the same result.

I KNOW this is something dumb (although it sure would help if the flight officer would actually say something instead of just showing his face.) So - someone tell me what DOH! thing I'm doing here. Please.

Oh yeah - using the latest patch that just came out today.

Thanks,
