Component Duplication Bug/Exploit

[Mehrunes]

I got Freeport station to reset itself without levelling or reloading. At first I waited for about a year at the station, no change resulted. Then I went to another system and came back. Again, there was no change. Then I visited Freeport V spacedock and returned immediately to the station and bingo, full reset.

I'm guessing a certain period of time passage and visiting another station is what causes it, although the period of time in question might be extreme.

edit: Scratch that, I was able to get Freeport station and Freeport V's spacedocks to reset just by flying back and forth between them. I'm guessing the game only keeps one component list on hand along with the ID of the spacedock it belongs to and doesn't bother resetting it when a save is loaded.
