Jettison cargo/escape pod - no event handler?

Post by Capt. Murphy »

Hi,

I've just noticed that this.shipSpawned doesn't fire when a cargo/escape pod is jettisoned. Should it? If not can we have a this.shipJettisoned handler after MNSR? Or alternatively can this.shipLaunchedEscapePod fire if an escape pod is jettisoned?

this.shipSpawned is (almost) foolproof and should always fire when a ship is first seen in-flight by the system. That means that only for new pods this handler fires, and not for pods that were previously scooped.
Maybe we should have a specific handler for dumping cargo in future. (Like for scooping)
