that police scan bug and lack of empathy

[Phezzan]

Just tried it 5 more times it didn't happen again even once, but I watched the ship on the map the whole time every time it also wasn't scanned in any of the attempts. The decision what ships to scan seems to happen very shortly before the scanning.
But the completely empty thing could that be part of the problem? That the error only happens when the police doesn't find anything not even anything legal? Maybe the code fails when it gets a null pointer?

Try not watching it on the map.

Seriously - the game code handles things differently when the player is watching, so if you weren't watching when it happened, then you can't watch.

Well gave it a few more tries and couldn't reproduce by not watching either, which has been my experience with the bug so far. I always load the last save when it happens as dealing with it is a damn hassle but so far it never has happened again immediately after a reload.

Auto save every 30s ......

Thanks to a very helpful set of savegames, and some very lengthy testing with those saves, we finally have some good news on this issue.

Please consider adding more extensive logic for all situations when AI goes hostile. That'll make things easier to debug, even without savegames.
