Debris

[Commander McLane]

I've come across strange debris recently. After destroying a ship, one of the alloys floating in space is named "debris" and is not scoopable. It gets even more strange when inspected:

Really weird, isn't it? And the model is always one of the available alloys.

There was a bug connected to a debris with a role station-debris.

Whenever Oolite sees 'station' or 'carrier' anywhere inside the role set, it flags up any entity as a station.

Changing that bit of the code could break quite a few OXPs, so the only solution is not to have roles containing either 'station' or 'carrier' inside splinters, or any non-stationy type ship / entity.

I thought it was there already, but we'll have to put a huge warning sign up inside the relevant wiki section.

That alloy is generated by asteroid storm. Updating to the latest version will correct this.
