Bug in classification of orbits from tracking station


Recommended Posts

I wanted to alert the developers there is a bug in the tracking station classification.

If there is an object outside the sphere of influence of a planet/moon, it appears to be classified as being "on an escape trajectory out of the sun", rather than "in orbit around the sun."

Please note, I have not yet achieved a craft actually able to escape an ejection trajectory from the sun, nor am I sure it is actually possible without installing a mod for another star.

This is a very minor bug and does not affect the playability of the game.

After looking some more, it appears to be only related to objects in orbit around the sun that have the potential to intersect with planets orbits. Perhaps this is because some 1-1000 orbits it will actually get into SOI of the planet and slingshot the object out of the solar system, so this may not be a bug after all, just confusing.
