Orange sidewinder gone?

Where's the orange sidewinder? I was passing through lava, but when i dropped in to see him again, i found that it was replaced with a bar???

No more lave music ever again? :(

For a moment I thought that they have fixed the "Orange Sidewinder" crash error. :)

Yeah, but before that there was literally an orange sidewinder NPC that runs a news and music channel in space (interstellar radio basically). Is the npc gone/dead, or has he "retired" to the space lounge?

If you shot him, stuff would happen. Maybe people killed him...

Might be that someone "removed" it, afaik it takes a while before it respawns again.

To prevent it from being "removed", they should just have given it over 9000 shields, and lazers that go PEWPEWYOUREGONE.

Would solve the issue for good. =)

But then it would be a Stationwinder, not a Sidewinder. ;)

"The Orange Stationwinder" actually sounds kinda cool.

Imagine if he just flies around the bar, and if you shoot him, instead of running, he just docks and activates turrets with every weapon in the game, including unobtainable turreted railguns and plasma accelerators, and just obliterates your tiny clipper.
Or an "Orange Cruiser" jumps in and plows through you, before jumping away again.

Or a "Yellow Submarine" takes you to a Sea of Holes 1000Ly away. :)

Indubitably room for a lot of emergent happenstances right here! =D
