Found a bug. Zoltans gave me scrap and augmentation, which i already had. My crew disassembled it into more scrap.
Then i saw distress call nearby, moved there and returned to location where Zoltans gave me stuff.
Without any preparations i disassembled another augmentation into same amount of scrap.

I guess i could farm a lot of scrap, if rebels were not so close.

Augmentation was Fire Suppression.

Some augments are non-stackable, so if you get them it is broken down into free scrap.

Augments like the scrap recovery arm are stackable, and wont be broken down.

This is an old bug with the ZOLTAN_FREE_AUGMENT event that I've seen reported many times. I guess the 1.6.x patch never fixed it.

It requires you to waste jumping back to a previously visited beacon, so the benefit is dubious at best in later sectors. Early on it might be okay, if you can't take fights.
