Vega System - Peris Station Anomaly

Greetings folks, this is my first post here, but I've lurked over these forums for the past few days since I've been on the server for a few weeks now. I want to say thank you Swat for a great and actually fun mod that has alot of depth to it, keep up the great work man. I've played lots of mods for Freelancer and I've been playing this game for nearly since it's release, but this mod is probably my most favorite of them all.

Now, with all that out of the way, down to business:

Last night while out and about near the Karnak Prison slaughtering Outcasts for pods (read: $$$) in the Vega system, I got bored and decided to explore the rest of the system, as I noticed there are two other planets in the system.(my curious nature and all haha) Come to find out, there names are Cortez(closest to Peris station) and the further planet out, Cornith. Upon closer inspection of Cornith however, I notice a space station platform in orbit around planet Cornith from a distance. I though this was rather weird, especially since I could not click on it, it would only lock on to the planet Cornith. Upon coming near orbital approach of the planet, I notice I can't click on it at all, in fact it will throw the "arrow" over to my right... On an object 89k away... Station Peris!!! Somehow the small docking park of the station is in stationary position near the jumpgate while the other larger section of the station is in orbit around planet Cornith! Anyway I figure I would bring this to your attention Swat as I imagine this is a "bug" that needs fixing. SuperCars was with me to verify and confirm this bug as well, if necessary. I will try to attach the two screenshots I took... Hope this helps man. Ryleous out-

Ok so about Vega.
First of all there are 3 dockable bases: Karnak Prison, Peris Station, Planet Aventin. The rest are undockable and/or unselectable.

Yes, understood.

Originally posted by magnet As far as I understand, you have just been trying to click on a un-dockable, destroyed base (AKA "debris" in FLEX). They also can't be selected.
So as far as I understand, I don't see a problem

Well, no offense, but you seemed to have overlooked my screenshots... My ship's crossair on the second screenshot is dead on the larger part of the base in orbit around planet Cornith, it identifies and confirms it as part of "Police Base Peris Station", with the other section of it 89k away back near the jumpgate. This is not a destroyed base or any kind of debris, as it looks like a working, operational station, minus the docking ports and bridge back near the jumpgate of course. It's like the base was originally meant to be in orbit around Cornith, but part of it was moved near the jumpgate, namely the modular part of it that looks like alot of typical FL border patrol stations. If you could see the entire station in the second picture you will immediately notice the long span section is cut on the left end where you would typically see where the docking ports/bridge are connected.

same happened with me, and by the information I got there's a lot of stations like these.
well, it's a bug, but we still can live with it can't we?

Yes, it's a bug and it's really no big deal... Nobody would probably know about it unless they were really curious (like me) and go exploring the entire system. I just felt like bring this to Swat's attention so perhaps it can be fixed in the next release.
