[1.2.2753] Busted ship quest instafail

[BorisZ]

I accepted Busted ship quest, then VIP pawn and solider arrived in pods, then shuttle crashed right onto VIP and smashed him, resulting in quest instafail.
I have Combat extended as well as Combat Extended guns mods enabled, but looks like it is vanilla "feature" or bug. It's was a random thing, quite major (because of quest reward), and player wasn't able to do anything at all about it, doesn't look good.

Also, maybe, drop pod location was moved from initially intended, because there was deep water nearby.
