Two extremely glitchy glitches in 1!
Version 1: Using a mod to combine EP and D&O together, (or any mod that adds a gravity well using the new system in version 1.5), it is possible to crash the game.
Step 1: Obtain rod
Step 2: Find a gravity well and place rod in container within the gravity zone (alternatively you can leave it in your hold and fly into the star)
Step 3: Watch the game crash as the gravity well sucks in whatever is containing the rod.
Version 2: This is always doable in D&O
Step 1: Obtain rod
Step 2: Obtain weapon with WMD
Step 3: Place rod in container
Step 4: Shoot container until it explodes, leaving the rod behind.
Step 5: Dock with rod
Step 6: ...???
Step 7: Obverse the fact you now appear to be stuck in some weird place where nothing works right. You cannot fly, you cannot use weapons.
