Korrd dammit, look at this, taken in 100% pure 1.0 vanilla:
Any more proof needed? My cargo bay was empty, and distance to the gun is 1078m. "Tractor all" icon disappears at about 1010m distance if there's no other loot around.
As for Outcast Destroyer... it has a hitbox from another ship, logically it doesn't suit very well, but I can't make it any smaller than now.
Outcast guns will be back, Trade Lanes won't be selectible from any distance longer than 45K, and as for the sun waypoint... well, never seen anything that weird. Need more details on this one, really, if you can repeat the situation and post all details, I'll be most grateful.
