That is the one thing about the game that is really inconvenient, in that once the Save folder is corrupted, it is done for, and has to be deleted. The TMO map contacts does not include all of the ships of FotRSU, and has different names for others, so that is what causes the issue. The game does not take all of its information to run from the game folder, but mostly from the Save folder instead. This is part of what allows a person to mod the game, in that you are working with a "copy" of sorts with data in the Save folder. However, with mods and the way JSGME and Windows works, existing files are not over-written if they already exist, so when you first mod the game, this is the reason you have to empty the Save folder. Then, if you remove the mod, you have to do the same to go back to "normal" data. You can sometimes get away with just removing a mod and everything will be OK, but in this case, the bad data stays and interferes with the game.
