1.30 BUG Boarding Pods wayfinding is broken

[cTrix]

Apparently Bording pods can only fly at max speed and have a trash turn radius.
I tried to claim an empty ship that spawned with a minefield and I got this:

Fly a few KM away or to a nearby sector. The capture should complete successfully.

that problim seems for all missles - they often start circling around target, not able to hit it, and occasionally run out of fuel and explode

I second it. v 1.31 Beta 1 (GOG), missiles and boarding pods cannot connect with the target.

Fly a few KM away or to a nearby sector. The capture should complete successfully.

Or just buy the same ship and pretend it was the captured one.
How on Earth all this crap slipped through QA?

I had the same problem and finally gave up waiting and boarded the ship myself. The problem, then, is that I had no way of getting the boarding pod back. I tried to tell it to dock on the ship I was on. That failed. So, I fired the marine on the pod thinking the pod would go away. It did not. Now, I have a boarding pod in my property that I cannot control or get rid of. I even tried to fly over to it and destroy it. My weapons pass through it harmlessly.

So:
1. Boarding Pod pathfinding needs to be fixed
2. Need a way to eliminate empty boarding pods
