Help with Salvager crash bug

[george moromisato]

There is a bug with Salvagers that causes a crash and I can't quite reproduce it. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it.

Here's what I know:

1. The bug has been happening at least since pre-1.2 and happens in vanilla.
2. It crashes with a stack trace that looks like this: http://multiverse.kronosaur.com/crashRe ... %3a45.0143
3. It looks like a Salvager is on its way to a wreck (or something) and somehow the wreck gets destroyed.
4. I've tried reproducing that scenario (destroying a wreck that a Salvager is heading towards) but it doesn't seem to crash (handles it appropriately). Perhaps there are some other conditions required.

If a crash like this happens to you, please let me know the circumstances around it. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this.

Thank you!

A very Bad Idea ( I am sure )

I don't think it is the Ship or the wreck : by themselves : They know where they are going and how to get there but something moved that was supposed to be stationary.
I think it might have been the path finding to the destination based on the update basically 'moving' the "Stationary" wreck.

the Salvager Enum(s) the wrecks in the system, heads for one : if that wreck moves because it was shot, there is a series of things the system has to do to make that happen - all of which would not upset the engine or ship.

If you recall, there has been a Reports of things being " off " : shots, positions of things on ships, etc.

I think this is part of the bigger Monster that ate your Ship.
