[#2158][Beta 7.0 (528286)] Behemoth Es cargo drones can't dock in low attention

[geldonyetich]

I have noticed this with a few SCA Behemoth Es I spotted at long range in "low attention."

Expected behavior: The Behemoth E is attempting to retrieve cargo with a cargo drone. The drone should dock so the Behemoth E can be on its way.

Observed behavior: When I first spot them on the map, there's a cargo drone circling around and around, oftentimes carrying something they stole from a nearby station. Changing sector alone will not fix that, perhaps going to "high attention" would.

Here is a video of it happening: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bbHsIy ... drive_link

Here is the saved game I created at the end of the video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tUeaRH ... drive_link

If you're going to investigate that saved game, you're going to have be quick: reloading a saved game seems to fix the drone and allow it to dock. If you pause the game immediately after reloading that, you will now see the drone charge immediately into the Behemoth E and dock.

This bug impacts gameplay because Behemoth Es are paralyzed because they are eternally waiting for their drones to dock until I reload a save.

Good news, I was still hunting that pirate Behemoth and happened to make this quick save less than a minute before it robs a station.

This is good news because you can see the whole process before it happens. The station drops its cargo, the drone goes out to retrieve it, and is unable to dock again.

Okay, sometimes it does work, it seems to depend on what angle the drone comes in at.

Sometimes it goes for a more circular approach and is unable to reconcile enough to hit the docking hitbox.

Here's a video of it happening again after a quickload when the angle worked once, but this time it didn't work out, all the way from right after it released the cargo from the above quicksave: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CoQgA8 ... drive_link

Newly started save after b3 with custom start on Nomad Vanguard
Released 100 drones from Nomad in combat
After combat end tried to put drones back but they are stuck near launch tubes

Also they refused to attack or react in any way to Xenon K that was spawned my Asteroid Belt entrance script regardless of settings, is it intended?
