Summary / Title

Retrofitting results in more probes than should be allocated

Description

If the user sends out their two starting probes resulting in 0/2 probes remaining then immediately retrofits their ship for two more probes they end up with 4/4 probes rather than 2/4 probes

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start new game

2. Use two probes (either send them out or discover curiosities)

3. Go to ship hanger

4. Remove guns from scout ship

5. Add another probe module

6. Save new ship

7. Retrofit scout on homeworld

8. Retrofitted ship now has 4/4 probes instead of 2/4

Reproducibility

5/5

Expected Behavior

I suppose this could be intended, but I'd expect the behavior to result in 2/4 probes remaining as you've used the other two probes from the starting module, and you can't normally retrofit the exact same model of ship with expended probes to replenish the supply.

Version

V0.3.7 SE BETA-Public

Notes

- This has been a bug for about a month; I kept forgetting to post about it, and it may have been there longer.

- I've been playing the Riftborn to produce it.

- You guys rock; I love you.  You're literally one of my favorite all time game studios right next to Blizzard, Riot, From Software, and, sometimes, Nintendo.  Keep up the great work <3

Attachments

You can produce the bug within the first minute of a game, so I didn't bother attaching anything.

Note that this is simply due to retrofitting, period. Any time you retrofit you add ALL the probes back in that turn. You can do this by simply swapping guns back and forth, if you want.

Can confirm.  Friend of mine did this all the time in MP to get probes galore.  The exploiting bastard!
(early access lols)

Hmm ... how much does it cost to do this though?

Is it really unbalanced?

(Horatio explorers have 4 probes to begin and support modules fit in all of them, so probably most capable of this exploit)
