Ringpod problem with 1.70

[Ark]

It seems that the racing rings in Zaonce and Lave are the culprit for
an odd overpopulation to the system the rings are present.

In my first jump from Lave to Zaonce i encountered at least 6 con-stores
(instead of one) from Dr Nil's PutYourAdHere.oxp 2-3 leviathans and space
dredgers and numerous military, trader and police ships. Erasing the ringpod.oxp fixes the problem.

i had the same problem with the rock hermit locator...

Where possible add an 5 second spawn delay to the rings and see if that solves the problem...

I´ll have a look at the code, but im on a different computer 200 kms away from my normal setup..

so anything i write is based on pure reading of the code only


will report back shortly

It seems that is working fine again in the 1.71 trunk

How is 1.71 now? I am generally not much for trying nightlies of games, but it seems to be turning into the version to stick with.
