Extremely nasty fighter bug

[Splutty]

Your own fighters destroying everything you own.

 

This is how it works: In your carrier, release all your fighters to 'Defend', go to build mode, destroy your carrier (safe mode off, ctrl-a, delete).

 

Now the fighters will defend your destroyed ship, and try their best to kill you, or to be more precise, whatever ship you spawned back to when you destroyed your carrier.

 

And when that one dies (in my case, a factory...) and you spawn into another ship, that one will get attacked.

 

And so on and so on. The fighters are unkillable, so they'll just keep going and going.

 

Thankfully the second ship I spawned in was one of my defenders, with over 500K shields, so I had some time trying to find a solution.

 

Found it in time to not get another ship blown up:

/run local target; target = Entity().selectedObject; if (target.isFighter) then target:destroy(1) end

 

This let me target the fighters and destroy them one by one... The if in there so I don't accidentilly destroy even more of my ships and factories if I misclick and don't pay attention.
