Summary0009758: Multiple force fields + wave = super tractor beam
DescriptionMultiple force fields over a wormhole that a wave comes through locks all of the ships at where they spawn from the wormhole. Attached is the save I found this in (just jump to Tafi). Interestingly, carriers seem unaffected. The tractors around the wormhole appear to not affect this bug nor placement of the force fields.

Looks like they haven't quite worked out all the kinks with the FF ejection logic...

I believe Carriers are immune to FFs for movement purposes. That could be why you don't see them with this behavior.

Yea, the behavior with a single forcefield is straightforward enough and works (iirc), but with multiple forcefields it becomes a question of "what direction should it bounce in, exactly?" since at that point in the logic it doesn't really have access to all the other forcefield locations without resorting to a really cpu-expensive approach.

But later on I may be able to do something more specific to wormhole exits; we'll see.

Thanks for the report, in any event :)
