New Bug? Signal Sources spawning inside Body Exclusion Zone of Star...

[Deleted member 38366]

Was just wondering if that's something new - or did I simply run out of (orbital) luck due to some stellar motion of stars here?

After being unable to resolve a Signal Source via FSS, I tried flying to it in order to check it out. Except... didn't work.

Tried to "sneak in" stone-cold but the Body Exclusion Zone was some 0.2Ls too close, blocking it.

I've seen this happen before (years ago). Then it seemed to stop being the case for some time.
Reintroducing old and resolved hiccups in the code is apparently back in fashion.

It was never out of fashion

Correct Big - never went away. Another example of this is chasing down a contact and - "about to drop down - follow me" - yeah right - straight into the sun. He can't possibly have survived. Yet he turns up again later thank goodness so I can still find my target.

Of course he survives, he's dropping into the exclusion zone just as you would. Gets a bit crispy, but survivable.
