So here you are travelling around in space. And your ship stops. And you wait a bit. And finally you get a notice 'Ship Contact' on the bottom of your screen, and you roll into the ship contact screen.

So here you are travelling around in space. And you get a notice at the bottom of your screen, 'Ship Contact'. And your ship stops, and you wait a bit, and finally you roll into the ship contact screen.

i.e. make the 'ship contact notice' the first thing you do in the whole 'setup for ship contact' behaviour, not the last thing you do, as seems to be the case here.

I ought not to matter, in that if my ship stops, I know from experience that this is just ship contact -- but for some reason it does for all that.

Thanks. Alpha UI. Completely lacks the required animation and SFX.

No worries. I am working on adding it before the next release, because we need a similar animation for "Entering Quadrant" now that the load time between quadrants is 0.18 seconds of cross-fading.
