I have never reliably reproduced the issues seen with child parts (such as bay doors, etc), but have always disliked our usage of IDs instead of strong references. MekHQ plays loose with IDs in order to aggregate spare parts and I'm not confident it isn't a cause of these problems.
I'm only confident this will resolve the class of errors where the part ID changed but the child part IDs were not updated.
