Credit to IronParrot for catching this one.
I have a Charon Stronghold in the Stannis system in TBR that I’ve used as a general test bed for what I can get away with without actually overwriting anything. One of those tests is making &svPirates; neutral toward the player in that system, meaning the player should be able to dock with the station. It used to work. Then it didn’t. Then it got fixed when a check for <GetGlobalDockscreen> was implemented to see if the player could dock with a station. Now it’s unfixed again. I’m wondering the fix to this ticket didn’t break something, possibly.
Did you create the game with Beta 3 or Beta 3.2? The bug in Beta 3 would cause this problem (and the game would still be corrupt).
This was in 1.8b3.2 — IronParrot mentioned it on Discord and I immediately started up a new game on the current beta to verify it.
You're right, this was broken by that ticket.
I fixed that bug in a different way and now it is fixed in 1.8 Beta 4.
