Is there a way to set FFF to ignore just the first link in the index post?

You've basically figured it out--the post was removed so the 'normalized' post link doesn't work. But the link as presented in browser does because it's to a thread page that does exist to an anchor that doesn't.

There's a setting in FFF to ignore specific chapter URLs. In this case it would be:

ignore_chapter_url_list:
 https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/11606805/

Note the space at the start of each ignore_chapter_url_list line--it matters.

As a more general setting, you could put continue_on_chapter_error:true in personal.ini under [defaults] or for specific sites to not fail out when individual chapters fail.

From defaults.ini:

Spoiler:

## You can exclude chapters from a story by listing their chapter URLs
## in ignore_chapter_url_list.  Chapter URLs will be normalized before
## being used, so you can use either longer or normalized chapter
## URLs.
## NOTE: This will cause numWords(word count) to be off for most sites.
## This setting should be used in a specific story's section.
## Example:

## Because some adapters can pull chapter URLs from human posts, the
## odds of errors in the chapter URLs can be higher for some
## sites/stories.  You can set continue_on_chapter_error:true to
## continue on after failing to download a chapter and instead record
## an error message in the ebook for that chapter.
continue_on_chapter_error:false

## Append this to chapter titles that errored.  Only used with
## continue_on_chapter_error:true
## Set empty to not mark failed chapters.
chapter_title_error_mark:(CHAPTER ERROR)
