Bug: Reports of bugs or possible bugs.

[ibol]

PvK,
when you report something like that (insects on water), please provide a screenshot. That definitely should *not* happen; there's something in the spawning routine that is supposed to prevent it.
[edit] ok had a thought: maybe they were quadropi, but the quest routine converted them... interesting possibility...

re: gruff vs. plasma lance: you should be able to do it, but maybe it's because you are "friends" with the gruff in general, but this is a "renegade" and the game fails to realize the distinction in that case. checking...

[edit2]: have attempted to address both issues.

Here's a screenshot of the bugs stuck in water:

For the Gruff, yes I was in combat with that ship (it attacked me) but friends with the Gruff in general.
