[6.0 Beta 2] Defense drones catapulting out of station

[HonorDragon]

Hi after testing the 6.0 Beta a bit I have noticed that the xenon defense drones get catapulted ~30km away from the station, my first idea was that the drones might spawn inside the geometry and the new engine tries apply force to move the drones outside which catapults drone across half the system.
If neccessary I can probably reproduce it, since every Xenon station reacted this way.
If the attachment works you can see the long line of defense drones trying to get back before the station is destroyed.

As a rule of thumb, post a save when you're reporting a bug. It's almost impossible for devs to look at a screenshot alone and figure out what the problem is.

That being said, I've run into a similar situation here fighting two VIG defense stations in Windfall IV. Defense Drones appear to shoot from one station to another and kind of ping pong back and forth for awhile at incredible speeds. Here's a save and a screenshot of one of them going 11.5 km/s. To replicate, just load up the save and wait there for awhile looking at the map. Soon enough you'll run into some drones being spat out at a good fraction of the speed of light.

Moin,k

budgeted game, with a defence station in "Letzte Grenze"/last frontier? faced to the gate to the xenon sector.
When xenon attack the stations defence drones were catapultet way north of the station with incredible speed.

this happend, as i remeber, after i extended the station via construction editor. The station was way out of the building area. So the only way to add modules to the station was enlarging the box(bild area) to include the station again within the
build area.(old save is gone, hope the blueprint helps)

Maybe the coordinates of the station are misscalculated after altering the station(build area)

Could this be related to the issue I posted where sometimes loading into a spacesuit causes the spacesuit to get flung across the map?

I have only got a me too post (previous save does not repro the issue, and current save is beyond the issue happenng)

I witnessed a Paranid Defence Platform in Pious Msts IV doing the same.
As the OP says defence drones were being slingshot out of the station to the south east at incredible speed, not just the amount of defence drones, but the speed at which they traversed from the station to where they needed to be.

I think this may be a more common occurrence than just Xenon defence drones.

Me too! I've seen this in my 6.0 games!

(just to annoy CBJ!)

The issue is still present in beta 3. Drones are catapulted from station. It also affects some s ships that get catapulted when undocking. Especially traders undocking from wharf.

I (Syn1) am attacking a Xenon Power Plant and have advised Syn2 and Syn3 to attack the station as well.

When the first syn approaches and starts attacking the station, defense drones will pull out (in waves) in a line far away from the power plant.

Save just before Syn2 attacks:
