Station with an identity crisis

I was recently back at Xexedi (galaxy 1) after having been there many times. I had my identification system on, and happened to point at the station that i was approaching (a normal coriolis station), but the computer identified it as the Tionisla Orbital Graveyard! Other slightly wierd things were going on, like ships in the vicinity sitting completely still, shooting at each other.... and missing consistently. Two of the ships that were "attacking" a fugitive were shown as purple (cop) blips on radar, but they were TIE interceptors (I downloaded the Star Wars ships oxp). I don't know if TIE ships are designed to be cops sometimes in that oxp or not.

Yes, cops can be TIEs

(thanx to whoever it was mentioned it on another thread!)

OK. So I shouldn't have mentioned TIEs being cops as a suspected bug. But the other stuff was definitely weird. So, am I supposed to send all the info about my computer to Giles now.... or since this mostly deals with an oxp (the Tionisla Orbital Graveyard), is it not his thing to deal with?

As for the ships sitting still and firing at each other without hitting, maybe they were just stoned.

Definitely strange. I do think that this particular thing should be directed toward Selezen. On a related note, I'm noticing that the normal system Dodo station in Tionisla is also called "Tionisla Orbital Graveyard" as of the last version of the OXP that I downloaded.

I think there was a bug in the GRAVEYARD.OXP which caused Dodo stations in general (rather than just the one near the Gaveyard) appear all over the place with the name of the Graveyard Station.

Think this was fixed in a later version of the OXP and I've not had this bug since.

Post the OXP author if you think you've found a bug.
