Interesting problem found with recovering wrecks in a wormhole

Hello to the Dev team,

I found an interesting issue where I destroyed enemy capital ships near the wormhole event horizon and when trying to reclaim the wrecks with my own capitol ships, by clicking on it, my ships instead get transport to the other end of the wormhole on the other side, so these wrecks can't seem to be reclaimed.

Please see screenshot for reference.

Hello! Thats an interesting issue, It feels too far out to be sucked into the wormhole like that. Could I get a related save for the team to look into as this may be an unintended bug

Sure thing, I moved one capitol ship to the wormhole so it's easier for the devs to test and then saved the file.

 

It's in the right system, Zatar Tunnel, next to ice planet Vanadis. Currently just conquered a few planets :)

 

This is my first time uploading save file, I'm not sure if this is the correct file or not. I'm using linux mint so I had to navigate to my compatdata file within steam directory. I'm sure this is the one but I could be wrong.

Rather then clicking, did you try just letting the capital ship auto collect it? When there is no combat and they can freely engage they will wander to collect them on their own. Though I am not sure in this case so that's why I am asking. But the click box's for large targets are pretty large and overlapping, same with titans and starbases. Its a challenge some times to click on something right by them.

Well I tried to move the ship as near to the wreck as possible without triggering the command to go through the wormhole. The ship didn't seem to do anything autonomously after that and just sat there. Yeah you're right, the wormhole clickbox overlaps the ship wreck hence why my ships went through the wormhole instead of reclaiming :)

An interesting problem to be sure.
