Escorts leave station then disappear
Escorts were working fine for me this morning (Sat, 6/16, Eastern time), but now (late afternoon) appear to be broken.
I am able to take an escort mission, and once I leave the station the transports become part of my group. However there is no navigation point set in my navigation system. The NPCs travel about 300m from the station in a straight line (no turbo), before reaching a point at which they all stop and "stare" at each other for about 10 seconds.
Then all ships in the convoy instantly vanish and either immediately leave the group or show up as being in a different sector. The ships leave behind crates of scrap metal.
I've tried logging off and on and trying different stations but run into the same problem.

We had a minor disaster today (while I was asleep) that caused this. Right now, I'm working on figuring out why it happened and how to make sure it won't happen again.
