Summary0023078: Forcefield Guardian stack launched to gravity well edge when one was zombified; not de-colliding
DescriptionOne of the stack got zombified and I think that is what launched them across the gravity well.
They are now stuck on top of each other (the zombie and the AI-allied ones) instead of de-colliding. If the AI-allied guardians are killed the zombie starts moving again.
I have attached a save right after this happened (Forcefield Guardian Launched), and this is the only time I noticed this. I have seen similar and bigger stacks get one of their members zombified/nanocausted without issue.

It's now version 2.106 at the time of posting this. If anyone wants to see a launch in action I now have a save for before this happens.
If you hack the Outguard beacon in this new save the units spawned will include Forcefield Guardians; eventually one or more of these should be launched across the gravity well when zombified. However, they may or may not de-collide on their own.

I'm pretty sure this still happens. Nothing like forcefield guardians getting sent across the gravity well; something that can be easily exploited against warden and hunter fleets.
