Yes, that mechanic was a bit too fragile. Fixed in 2.00.
Didn't lose that much progress, I now frequently save just to be sure. Also, I have a minor suggestion, having the crew react to the progressive outfits of T'ris and Nimhe. The last outfit for Nimhe is just a small jacket and thigh-high boots/stockings/idk. Besides that, she's completely naked alongside T'ris, it would be great if the rest of the crew would make comments about their outfits.
