Exploding ARS?

[rickynumber24]

So, I'm scouting around, and I pop my scouts into a new system.  It has an AI Core Shield Generator A, I notice, looking at the map intel summary.  It also has a fabricator.  Then I notice... it doesn't actually have an Advanced Research Station.  Well, it had one.

I reload a save and try again... sure enough, moments after a scout enters the system, the ARS explodes!  (Actually, it's fast enough I failed to catch it...)

I've attached before and after saves, as well as a screenshot.  I also have a sneaking suspicion this should go on Mantis soon enough...

Just checked: the ARS didn't blow up, it's just cloaked (probably by a stealth guard post), but apparently that didn't kick in until a few moments after you entered the system.  Which is worth mantising, though it's obviously not as critical as the thing just exploding

But don't worry, it's still there

Well that's entertaining.  Thanks for the warning.
