Thank you. And sorry for putting this in comments and not bug reports. That is on me.
I was flying the F. GR.-4. I had failed the mission due to my own skill issues in other craft, and did not experience this bug. I had also crashed earlier in the F.GR.-4 and did not experience the bug. I believe this occurred after clearing out the third wave of enemies for Grendel. I moved quickly towards Dust Lance to hit things there, that was around the time when I noticed the issue as well as the fact a fourth wave of enemies appeared for Grendel but I was given no notice.
