Design Flaws

Well I'd imagine this is using circular distances, wherein the sensors wouldn't reach into the corners as they where farther away.

Just adding to this, since it does seem more a design flaw and not a 'bug':

Space stations can be 'invaded' by pirates and some creatures, that's agiven. Usually they just crowd outside the station forever until your player discovers them. Unfortunately one of the creatures that can appear happen to be the multiplying fungus, which if you don't notice as soon as possible can quickly overrun all station tiles and any path back to your ship. The longer I play in one galaxy and continually go to all stations, the more often this happens.

Side note: I would looove the option to help fund a station towards additional tech/shops/defence against this and attacks from ships or even just fund ship scanners for them, whatever the dev decides to do. Seems pretty unrealistic for a space station to accept pirate ships to dock or alien lifeforms. >,< Hell, the day you can start creating your own space station with crew as a long term step-by-step goal will be glorious
