NPC block (player suit energy depletion) affects player through remote control?
Hello, I have started using remote-controlled ships to attack NPCs, and noticed that even when my character is 5+ km from the NPC but my remote-controlled ship enters the NPC block's effective range, my suit energy will deplete.

This may or may not also happen with other blocks such as dampener and jetpack inhibitors, but I haven't paid close attention to my character's status on the HUD while remote piloting the remote ship.

EDIT: confirmed that this also happens with jetpack inhibitor field. Player character is 4 km away from an NPC base installation. When remote controlled ship enters 1 km range, jetpack inhibitor activates on player.

Most of these effects can be side-stepped by sitting in a cockpit while controlling the remote ship.

Is this intended?

No, that type of behavior would not be considered 'intended'. I'll look into it. Thanks for the report!
