I came across the usual sprawl of a half-dozen anarchist stations, all of which had been blown up, but one of them was still exploding. I worked out what was going on when I went past after installing an anti-missile device - it kept shooting the station every time the station went 'bang'.

Basically there was an intact station hidden inside the blown up station that was still trying to kill me - only every time it fired a missile it hit the station it was hidden underneath instead!

With a bit of trial an error I was able to destroy the second station and loot it as well. :-)

Anyway, I take it that there was a little glitch in the random positioning code.

Could you also provide a screenshot, please ?
That would be very useful to understand what's happening.

It's the station (or, rather, they are the stations) on the far left.

Not sure much shows. If you dock from the left it's 'station A', if you dock from the right it's 'station B' (one of them was empty, the other not - but they are both empty now).

It happens quite a bit actually. Also with Dwarg stations.
