Slight oddity in the Charon system

Charon system in my current game was generated with two korolov stations. I didn't find the second until after I'd killed all the pirates...including the stronghold generated for the second korolov.

This seems a little odd to me. Perhaps Charon shouldn't be able to generate random korolov stations?

Pretty sure you can order regen nanos from a corporate trading post, too.

Seems like it would be easier just to give the kamikaze auton a weapon with 'canhitsource="true"' and set it inside the bitmask. Give the weapon a really short range. Order auton to attack, it flies close to bring its weapon to bear, and BOOM.

I found those in my first Heretic-reaching game, but I didn't see any outside of heretic in my second. Of course, I didn't find a patch spider until heretic that game either. The RNG can be mean.

I've noticed this too. It's pretty cool if that's what's actually going on.

Unfortunately Ferian Plasma Cannons almost always drop damaged. Maybe one in a dozen will be intact, if you're lucky.

I miss my jumpdrive shortcut.

Jumpdrives no longer provide a shortcut in the use menu, because they never get identified. One of those two is a bug.

Identify after first use, please, if not on install.

Ooh, I like Atarlost's idea. I use my targeting systems to map stations without having to do a dangerous flyby, so this would be great for me. Sure, I can cycle through by holding t, but...it takes a while for, say, luminous assemblers or ares shipyards, especially when there's more than one in the ...

I just want a 'target biggest threat' button, going by ship score value. Maybe by weapon level. Something along those lines.

Charon doesn't need tweaking, I promise. What's going on is that you've angered the pirates, so all the ships normally docked at the other charon stations in system are being sent after you instead. The trick is to hit the stations rapidly in sequence, so the ships attacking you stop getting reinfor...

Those are both good points. ...If you think about it, though, most players are going to go through the game destroying any space based infrastructure with combat capability that's hostile to them. So, everybody but the commonwealth, ringers, (new) ferians, teratons, and Huari if they're lucky. That'...

Hm. I had this happen too, now that I think about it. Or at least, something made her wax me during this encounter.
