fixed internally Harpoon activating too early?

[Hippo]

As always, apologies if user error from me.  The mission is as follows:

I am launching from WP1, BOL, with a search activation of 30 nm.  As I understand it the hpd should ignore the the ships at 20 nm, but instead it always goes for the northernmost ship.  Track attached. 

Is there still work outstanding on the harpoon?

An update.  I was experimenting with this mission again.  This time I tried setting the (leftmost, topmost) ship first to invisible and then to late activation.  On both ocassions, when I fly the mission the harpoon still flies to the point the ship would've been at as if it's still there.  I also have issues if try to view the track with time acceleration, e.g. the harpoon explodes as it is released.

Hi, 

we are looking into it, but I am waiting for another internal fix to be completed that may effect this result. 

thanks

Hi Hippo, 

This is working internally, but seems to be broken in public builds, I am talking to the team about it currently 

thanks
