I see...
This is hardly only camera/station bones/controllers issue because, when the game freezes , almost entire GUI functionality will also collapse (teleports, key and GUI commands ect). I mean, everything work great until you step in 'forbidden area"...
Simple camera/station problem can be observed if you try to man front flak gun (U-flak)...You'll see strange camera behavior, but when you click exit station command, everything is back to normal...
This "game freeze" reminds me a lot on issues I had when I was trying to create destructible stock GHG sensor, even if it didn't have it's own 3D mode l(only bone)...
Your transparent dat 3D mesh solved the problem...
Do you remember?
