Dot on scanner allows unlimited searching

Issue #66 on hold
Former user created an issue

Using Chrome Version 52.0.2743.82 m (64-bit). Playing on build b35c.

There is a purple dot on the scanner that I can collect scrap and go deeper into unlimited times. I can essentially farm unlimited scrap metal and antimatter from it. My scanner is paused. Save file attached.

    As I'm looking into this more, it seems to be an issue with the saving and loading, possibly. ScannerBlips are being assigned duplicate properties and UIDs. When I destroy a blip with the UID, the second duplicate still exists, but is considered destroyed (and can't be destroyed again). Saving and loading "fixes" the issue allowing it to be destroyed when UIDs are re-assigned.

    Still not sure how to fix it, but just making notes on discoveries for myself.

    Seems be an issue with the engine. I can't really submit a bug for it there unless I can duplicate the problem of the object being created twice (which I can't).

    I know that if it gets stuck in a loop, the player can save their game and load it or just FTL Jump to fix the issue. I'm not sure what I can do to fix it at the moment though.
