Are you using autopilot to reach the stargate? Can be difficult to hit without one. Otherwise, not seen this.

It is realy dark and black! It tends to blend in with the blackness of space! SPACE SHIPS NEED high beams! That way you can see dull shiny objects in space!

this happens to me too
It's not just that the stargate is difficult to see

it's there but invisible - I have to impulse very slowly until the distance counter is close to zero then blam it works, bit fiddly and a little scary if you're carrying a large cargo ( so you think wtf happened to the gate?)

Someone I was chatting to in space the other day had similar problems with a disappearing space station - could also be related.

i *think* this is fixed now in 0.49.7 - there were a few occasions where space object lists werent gettin reset right after system jumps, and a rare occasion where models were getting reloaded incorrectly. I havent been able to replicate, but if you see it again please raise a new bug report or bump this one.

Fixed?
I just posted a screenshot of me like 4.0 away from one in the General Topics and I can see it in plane sight.

To replicate, travel to a stargate twice or more without relogging and the thing dissappears.
