It seems there was a minor update and the mk-1 illuminator got some new look. But when I attach one of them on my satellite it EXPLODES! Everytime! I restarted the game just in case but my station keeps exploding!
Yeah, that kinda sounds like a bug, all right. Could you log it on their bug tracker, per the above suggestion? (And post a link here, for those of us who'd like to follow along.)
