The Kashima mission is triggering prematurely in the public build due to a bug with the date check (which has since been fixed and pending for the next release). However, this is unrelated to the bug of being stuck on the command deck. If you have already started the Kashima mission and you are stuck on the command deck, please post a .tits save file so I can check to see if that bug in particular has been fixed for the next release.
