Modder needs to be warned when a detail0 mesh is made a turret arm/PCS3 should disallow setting detail0 as a turret arm

This can cause issues with intangible ships and probably other issues. A warning would be wise to help modders correct it.

Honestly I would prefer this if this were not settable at all (speaking of PCS3). Turrets should explicitly require that their arms be the same name as themselves with "-arm" appended, I see no particular reason to be setting arms to arbitrary objects.

.pofs could do with more rigor in regards to naming in general, the karuna's .pof was a mess and probably did not help with this bug.

It's true. Something for next year.
