Haven't played in a while and only a little since the dlc so I am not sure when this changed happened but all ship encounters are now showing up like this for me. Tried verifying the game files but the issue persists. 

I'd try to repair the install or reïnstall.

It's a beta patch issue, I think. Opt out of beta or wait for the next update

Thanks, opting out worked I forgot the game used to display those options in a text box and opting out reverted it back to that.

 

There was also an issue with grimoirs not displaying all of their spells and using the wrong icons i dunno if that's a known issue but again opting out fixes it for me.

Hey Mikey,

 

The Grimoire issue is indeed an actual bug that we have in the system.  We are currently in the process of investigating that one.

 

Thanks for the heads up on it!
