i went to the equpiment dealer to buy new pods, and it says my ship does not have any available slots for them.
Also, in the "External Equipment" tab of the equipment list in the shop, i have 6 slots that have appeared for "Level 1 Freighter Shields" which are apparently there, but empty (I.E, no equipment, but it shows as equipted)
If i try to remove them, it crashes the game to desktop as well, and i logged back onto the game after crashing, to find that one of the shield things has gone, but i now have a completly useless empty slot :(
