Starmade | /Destroy_Entity and overheat despawning makes some docks non physical

Description

Apologies if this is a known issue already, tried searching and nothing showed up.

So, this has been in a while I have noticed. When a ship overheats, all things docked upwards from it are frozen in place, but, become Phantom-like and weapons pass through it with no damage. However, AI Will select these parts as an enemy, and continue to fire at it to no avail. This means its possible to create exploitable "Decoys" provided the docks arent destroyed before the main part has finished overheating.

The only way to target them is to enable the appropriate docked entity marker in the Nav menu, and select them and Admin delete them. The other is to unload and reload the sector, something that isnt possible with Jump-Inhibited PvP.

Steps to reproduce

  2. /destroy_entity the mothership
  3. fly against all 3 of the PD turrets, 1 of them should be non physical and you fly through it.
Tester information (Internal use only)

Spawned in a big ship with plenty of turrets and docks, when the mothership was despawned. Some of the turrets/docks were non physical, others were fine.

Seems that usually 50% of them are non physical, and the other half is fine.
Despawning the ship that contains those docks causes it (can be overheating or /destroy_entity).

Blueprint that always has 1 of the 3 PD turrets non physical, which one seems to be random though:

Checked on turrets and chains and same result.

Still happens for me (0.199.172). I made a test setup with Core+Rail Turret Axis -> Rail Docker+Core+Rail Turret Axis -> Rail Docker+Core. Shooting at the first core until it overheats makes the other docked entities ghosted. Shooting at the second core (turret base) until it overheats makes the third entity (turrel barrel) ghosted; also, the "OVERHEATING" message and the timer are not displayed in the second case.

In recent patches, this is happening again. Overheated a few ships and turrets were there without Nav markers (I play with turret markers disabled normally). Enabling them again showed they were still "docked" to the now deleted ship.

Once again, they are No-Collide, draw AI Aggro, and completely immune to damage, even to detonating warheads adjacent to them.

I suggest this gets re-opened as its happening consistently. Dont know how it came back...

Doing some testing here's what I see:

  1. If I use the destroy_entity command on a ship with docked entities. Things work as expected. The docked entities become undocked, and can be hit without becoming ghosts
  2. If I blast the main ship until it starts overheating, and wait for it to overheat, we see the same bug.

I believe that case one has been fixed, but not case two. I'll the version case one was patched on to validate and report back, but I expect the same results

Yes, I see the same results on version 0.199.152 when I rolled back too it.
