Very amusing, but obviously a bug

I've tried replicating this by hacking an AI-owned GCA and a player-owned GCA, but nothing interesting happened. Could you upload the save so I can at least put in a bunch of debug lines into the code?

I got the bug to occur, and added a bit of (delusional) debugging and was pretty confused:

HOI! MY NAME IS GLOBALPLAYERSTEPLOGIC

  HOI! ATCS_C CONTAINS THESE THINGS:
    HOI! NOTHING TO REPORT!

  HOI! IM ADDING THESE THINGS TO ATCS_C:
    HOI! <Ambush Turret>
      HOI! COUNT <18>
    HOI! <Grenade Launcher Turret>
      HOI! COUNT <23>
    HOI! <Sentry Frigate>

    HOI! <Tritium Sniper Turret>

      HOI! COUNT <11>
    HOI! <Tachyon Array>
      HOI! COUNT <1>

  HOI! IM GCA 0007631
    HOI! IM ADDING <Concussion Turret> COUNT 15
      HOI! IM CREATING A NEW ENTRY
    HOI! IM ADDING <Beam Cannon> COUNT 2
      HOI! IM ADDING TO ATCS_C, COUNT BEFORE = 1128
    HOI! IM ADDING <Sentry Frigate> COUNT 2
      HOI! IM ADDING TO ATCS_C, COUNT BEFORE = 1128

HOI! MY NAME IS GLOBALPLAYERSTEPLOGIC.

  HOI! IM ADDING THESE THINGS TO ATCS_C:
    HOI! <Ambush Turret>
      HOI! COUNT <18>
    HOI! <Grenade Launcher Turret>
      HOI! COUNT <23>
    HOI! <Sentry Frigate>
      HOI! COUNT <1130>
    HOI! <Tritium Sniper Turret>
      HOI! COUNT <22>
    HOI! <Beam Cannon>
      HOI! COUNT <1130>
    HOI! <Area Minefield>
      HOI! COUNT <11>
    HOI! <Tachyon Array>
      HOI! COUNT <1>

  HOI! IM GCA 0007631
    HOI! IM ADDING <Concussion Turret> COUNT 15
      HOI! IM CREATING A NEW ENTRY
    HOI! IM ADDING <Beam Cannon> COUNT 2
      HOI! IM ADDING TO ATCS_C, COUNT BEFORE = 1130
    HOI! IM ADDING <Sentry Frigate> COUNT 2
      HOI! IM ADDING TO ATCS_C, COUNT BEFORE = 1130

I was thinking, is it possible that when using ( this.Player_AddedToCommandStation_Current.AddRange( this.Player_AddedToCommandStation_Permanent ) ), it is adding the values as a reference to ATCS_P ?

Then when it does ATCS_C[i] += CountToAdd, the reference link means its actually doing ATCS_P += CountToAdd. Maybe the fix is to change ATCS_C.AddRange to a for loop that copies to a variable before adding element by element to ATCS_C. That's what I had to do for my knockback code to get things to inherit properly without breaking.

Thank you!

* Fixed a bug where if you had captured a GCA that was granting a ship type cap of some amount, and you had hacked a different GCA to get ship cap added for that same type, it would start infinitely counting up your ship count added.
** We were using RefPair as if it was a value type (AddRange), when it fact it was a reference type (it's right in the name of the class, sigh, and we made it ourselves). Perils of coding while tired?
