[#3519][7.5 Beta 6] EMP Bombing station while inside ship does not aggro police

[Stadus]

I think triggering an EMP bomb from the pilot seat does not aggro the police. At least I have not made the cops angry once doing this so far.

I have been EMP bombing stations in my spacesuit and regularly pulling police aggro but lately I changed my method of EMP bombing and I appear to never aggro the police.

1. Park ship about 200m from target.
2. Spacesuit out, aim and fire emp. Go back to ship.
3. Sit in pilot seat, detonate emp, fly up real close almost touching the targets.
4. Spacesuit out, scan and go back to ship.
5. Police ignored crime?

It has been this way for years, and has not bothered most people. For example I prefer it this way, because it allows me to save time if I want. Though technically it probably is unintended.

[Stadus]

Yeah, it definitely is convenient and saves time. I figured if you wanted to safely EMP bomb something you could hack the security panel to prevent scans so fixing this shouldn't be too terrible in the end.

Can you upload a save where we can test this issue quickly, please?

Sorry if this is butting in, but here's a save that might help. There are some bombs planted but the player has many more if you need to play around with it.

Steps to reproduce
1 plant spacesuit EMP bombs on a target (done)
2 dock with a space ship (above the player)
3 take control of the spaceship
4 target the emp bomb
5 open the menu and detonate (F key)

A player could also request docking, target the bomb, open the menu, then quickly dock with a ship before the menu closes. I'm unsure if that gives a different result.

I have a video that if not specific enough really ..... its a fairly big file but it show the emp being launch and floating not going to the target having to click on it to get it back and try again with no end this causing to not being able to finish any of the story lines.its 167 MB (176,117,706 bytes)

A video doesn't really help us diagnose what's happening. A savegame is much more useful.
