So, after updating to 1.08fa and installing/updating the mods I was using, I've run into a strange problem... there's a Ventari colony right next to the Battle Arena in Rigel. You can probably imagine the carnage that follows. At first I didn't mind that much, but it's starting to cheese me off.
I've crawled all the XML files AND the 1.08fa resources and I cannot for the life of me find the source of this problem.
Anyone? Any mod that causes this, or is it an 1.08fa bug?
Ventari colony in Rigel? WTH?

If you love something, tweak it and twist it. Keep bending it until it breaks. Rip it apart, remix it, rebuild it. Kill your darlings and stitch them together again.

Found the problem. It's caused by Brunnen's "Encounter Expansions" mod.
*EDIT* Apparently, two different station types (Ventari Colony 3 & Merchant Prince Hotel) in two different extensions can share a single UNID without the game crashing. But only one of the two will appear in the game. In this case, the Ventari colony replaces the hotel.
