Plasma burn and stations
« on: September 19, 2023, 05:24:06 AM »

I'm really surprised that I haven't seen this mentioned elsewhere, but I noticed my Furies using plasma burn to crash into stations, resulting in overloads and death. My usage of Shrikes against stations is very limited so I can't speak for them yet, and I don't give Odyssey to my AI. They seem to do this when the station is overloaded or high flux, causing them to dogpile in and hit the station and each other too. Although, they still ram into the station itself or broken off parts of it even if there aren't other ships in the way. It's also worth mentioning that I have noticed my Omens just flying into stations and dying too, particularly the rotating extremities.

I debated on whether to put this in the modded subforum or not, but I don't think anything I have would cause this.

However, my mod list is as follows:

A New Level of Confidence
Another Portrait Pack
Attuned Drive Field
Console Commands
Detailed Combat Results
Interesting Portraits Pack
LazyLib
MagicLib
Nexerelin
OfficerExtension
SpeedUp
Terraforming & Station Construction

Thank you for the report! Thought I'd had this fixed. Had another look and added a few more checks that may finally do it. Unfortunately, this is a pretty tough one to test, I haven't found a specific fight/config that reproduces this reliably, though I've definitely seen this happen before.
