[0.8.1a RC8] Battlestation as an ally
« on: July 27, 2017, 04:17:57 PM »

As I was dropping into a system full of remnant fleets to hunt down a bounty, I saw the bounty engaged in combat with a battlestation. I evaded two remnant fleets (they were on hostile and giving chase) and collided with the bounty. There, I was given the option to fight alongside the battlestation. Which I did. The battlestation was very well-behaved and acted like an ally. I was still sweating bullets flying past the thing, but anyway...

Sounds like a fringe case, but I was still surprised that these two pieces actually interacted. Also seeing how it's a death sentence for the pirate captain. Stations don't 'force' encounters the same way overlapping fleets do, do they?

Related bug I've seen:

You sometimes can't join a battle between a neutral fleet and a hostile station.

Thanks for the report, guys! Working on something else at the moment, but made a note and will take a look.
