Had some of the details super close, then screw up others. Hopefully it's good though.
- She tips the "bulb" of drink despite having just snatched it from the float beside her (whats that gonna do?).
- The ship spins to decelerate (would have been done long before "just arriving"), then spins again under fire despite not being slow enough. It should be dodging and returning fire whilst burning to decelerate, it's why the turrets are turrets after all.
- The station is under zero or very low g - but the drone needs constant downward firing jets to hover in place?
I was experiencing similar issues under Manjaro. I couldn't tell exactly when it happened but attributed it to a kernel or other update.
Are you seeing anything in dmesg? I was seeing kernel ring timeouts just after booting (I don't know how it recorded them from before the freeze but it did). My searches led me to find that the Ryzen 5600 silicon had degraded just enough to be unstable. I could underclock it and it got a bit better but not fixed. In the end I replaced it with a new 5800 and the issues completely went away.
