    So before I do an actual bug report, I wanted to see if others considered this a bug, or if I'm just being picky.

    If you spawn a station using the 'M' key, it is not aligned to the sector:

    Ship is aligned to sector, note build arrow on station.

    Now if we save the station, and then load it via admin command, it aligns to the sector, just like the ship:

    Does this seem like a bug to anyone else? i thought at first it was determined by the direction I was facing when I bought the station, but its not. I would think a station should align to a sector when spawned.
    And I haven't checked, but I think game generated stations spawn aligned to sector also. So it seems to just be purchased stations that do something odd.

    It seems to use the same system that places a ship when you buy one, and that seems to only work while in a ship, otherwise you get this. Try getting in a ship core, facing the direction a station would normally face and then do the /load command.
