X3FL (1.2): Idle ships all over the place.

I put it in a zip file and hosted it on a website

Thanks, that seems to work nicely.

I'm kinda old-school, (free, decentralised internet etc.) so I was perhaps a little concerned that it might end up in the walled garden known as "Steam Workshop", making it gratuitously annoying for anyone else to get at.
There's enough of the steam-only club nonsense going on with X4 already, but I see you have your own corner of the 'net to host stuff on. That's both exactly what I would have done, and in this day and age quite refreshing.

Thank you for this Deathifier. It seems to be working well so far and no noticed side effects

[Deathifier]

Good to hear it is working

There shouldn't be any obvious side-effects or faults caused by the change, however there might be some edge cases where the destination station is destroyed at an inappropriate time and maybe that would break something.
I'm not sure what happens in such circumstances although I hope that it'd just cause the script to gracefully fail and return control to the caller, and not do something silly like crash the game.

If this somehow does cause the game to crash please let me know.

You could try getting the destination of a ship, then deliberately destroying it yourself and see what happens.

As far as I understand, this bug will be fixed in version 1.3?

Confirmed. It "is" fixed in the Beta 1.3

[Deathifier]

Good to hear, I've made a short update to my guide to reflect the fix in v1.3 and will make further updates once I've had a chance to test a v1.3 release candidate myself.
