well i wasnt in a sector with no drone waves,but i also wasnt in a safe zone,the timer on the cockpits screen just doesnt show the timer,and i couldnt manually trigger the wave by pressing F8 or through the debug menu. and as for not being able to build,expand ship hull,and steer the ship. i had enough RCS to move the ship,and my water tanks were at full,but still couldnt controll it,i also wasnt able to expand the ships hull for some reason. but now everything just works fine. the only issue is that the drone waves dont work
