Where's Madran? (Ninth Rule / Kinjer Patrol bug)

lokharno

On a few occasions, I've reached the point in the Ninth Rule mission where you are supposed to tractor Madran's ship. Easy peasy. Except Madran's ship is nowhere to be found. The map circle indicating his location -- i.e. the next mission objective marker -- is there. But no Madran. Quitting the game and re-entering the mission in progress doesn't change the situation: still no Madran. Now, Madran's a slippery fellow, and I don't begrudge him a narrow escape from time to time...but I get the impression that this isn't supposed to be happening. (And since the mission can't progress, the only thing to do is quit and run a different patrol. Which isn't a catastrophe... but it doesn't give those Heroic Captain Feels one looks for in a Star Trek game.)
