Spectacular bug in v1.65rc (fixed now)

With the Behemoth OXP choose a short witch jump and force a misjump.

The Behemoths (if they appear) all appear at the same position, causing hilarious collisions and super massive explosions.

If they don't appear the first time you can always misjump again.

Whoops!

(Fixed for v1.65 final!)[/img]

Ouch, I just tried that without the fix, and it got… a mite unresponsive. (The first few frames took several seconds each.)

Then I tried it again with the fix, and everything was fine until the Thargoid Carrier blew up, possibly after colliding with a generation ship. Much the same happened.

A cap on the object count in the new fancy explosions might be in order.

Perhaps a smaller cap - it's currently set at 75% of the maximum number of objects.

In the screenshot? It's a Llama - one of a vast array of ships from test save files.

Whoah, major case of witchspace rage there... who's gonna reach for their steering wheel lock first?

The new explosions look mighty purty... must get around to upgrading.

Create a nice slide show by grabbing screen shots.
