Thanks Aslain, but as I wrote - the problem never happens if I use your current mod v7.... but it always happens if I use later mod packs.... same resolution, same mods chosen, same carousel, etc...
something changed after modpack 7, thats influencing it.
Also had this issue happen (crew disappearing)...
However there is no problem as long as I do not install any Mod Update since the ..._7 version for current game update... any I have tried since that one has the bug, but if i go back to _7 version, I do not have crew problem.
Maybe its a game bug, but certainly something changed in at least one mod part since version 7 of current modpack.
