Description
[3.7.4 (b646)] Dimensional Horror system seems to have bugged out a bit

Game Version
Canis Minor v3.7.4

What version do you use?
Steam

What expansions do you have installed?
All except Toxoids.

Do you have mods enabled?
Yes
(Only mod is the test branch of the Storm Cluster MODJAM2022 crisis, which isn't going to do anything until midgame and hasn't thrown anything to error.log besides the two expected overwrites.)

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I just discovered the Dimensional Horror, and there are a few things tht just don't seem right:
  • The horror isn't in the black hole, it's more than half the distance away towards the inner dotted line. It's also facing directly away from the only hyperlane into the system and the camera, so I'm looking at its back.
  • The mousover tooltip for the horror says it's disabled, although it has 100% hull, armor, and shields.
  • The horror appears to have spawned as my science ship entered the system, since it wasn't visable before despite my high system intel. I know that's expected behavior for some guardians but I don't remember if the horror is one of them.
  • Being in the same system as the massive hostile entity isn't triggering my science ship's evasive fleet stance, it's still trying to survey the black hole instead of running away.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
Unclear. I'm including the earliest save file I have from this game so you can check if this was the case at game start, and the most recent autosave from before I entered the system where the horror doesn't seem to exist.
The science ship in question is the event-spawned "Other Science Ship", although I'm not sure how that could mess things up.
