Comms Console not functioning for orbital traders

[BoogieMan]

I saw a post that makes me think this was fixed awhile back, so perhaps it's mod related.. The factions listed all have leaders and I can contact them normally, just not trade ships. The pawn goes up to the comms console, it throws an error, then they walk off. I started a new game with the same mods enabled and it works fine. I also went a few autosaves back it it works fine. I'll also attach a picture of the mods I'm using.

Here is a list of active mods that have updated since I last played when it was working fine though like I said, old autosave is fine:

RimFridge - A17
[RF] Smooth Stone Walls [a17]
Hospitality
JecsTools - accidentally left this one enabled.. I don't think I'm running any mod that requires it.

I installed this mod after I had already played this save but it doesn't seem to be at fault:
Don't stop the music

It's not a super big deal at the moment since the autosaves seem to be working at present so unless it reoccurs, and I'll report it if it does, I can keep playing this save. But in case in may be of help to you or someone else who encounters the same thing I figured I'd make a thread about it.

Here is the error message that pops up when I try to contact an orbital trader:
