Aye, as I feared. I have pushed my Scimitar too hard the other day. While pulling patrol duties with DoubledDeath, my software config advisory proceeded to flash at me. Normal SOP dictates a return to base for repairs for such a discrepancy, so I obliged as Magellan traffic was non-existent. During the flight back, the problems intensified with a single Mission Computer failure. Now without Displays and Weapons Systems, I immediately radio in for emergency docking clearance the whole time stroking the console chanting "Come on baby, hold together..." Just as I have Mactan on my scanner, my second Mission Computer goes offline taking Flight Controls and Comms with it. Now luckily my trajectory still has me on a free glide course toward Mactan and Life Support isn't routed through those computers. As my trajectory was rapidly slowing as I was gliding through the Barrier, ejection was sounding more and more feasable. With my hand on the jettison handle, suddenly I felt a "th-thump" on my hull. I look up to see a flight of Hackers around my ship with a tow line and they helped me into the docking bay. I consider myself that they were listening in on the whole event.
I am now in the midst of tearing through all available schematics tracing this mystery software disappearance. So I will be inactive until I can fix this problem, or settle for a new ship. Here is the Official Documentation
