Data Vaults question

[Tarsis]

Does any one know if there is an easy/simple way to know if you've already done a Data Vault you just flew by?

I don't understand how the Data Vault icon on the map is supposed to work, some times they disappear but some times not, some times they are grey but some times blue.

I once flew by a Data Vault I wasn't sure if I had done it (all doors were closed and there were red items to be repaired). I proceeded to do the entire thing but there was nothing to loot and the last compartment where the signal leak should've been was empty.

It would be nice if they didn't reset once you finish them.

You can use NavBeacon. If you done just set one next to the object

I started doing that now, but there are some I don't have the beacon because I didn't think they would reset. It makes no sense to me that they reset once you're done with them.

Not a problem, you will do everything correct on your next game start.

Did Vaults have loot container? Was it detectable by scanner? Did you collect that lollipop during your visit? Would lack of container be a sign of visit?

The existence of loot container is only half of the way. The Data Vaults will continue to "ping" until the player has got both the container and the data. Taking the data will result in the "Find all Data Vaults" mission initiated once you do one after you meet with the Boron (regardless if you already have the PHQ or just started the quest).
IMHO the player should decide if he/she is going to get loot boxes, or Data Lines or both and place a Nav Beacon next to each Data Vault done naming them from 01 to 28 DV or Data Vault so they'll appear top of the list.
Another issue is that after V4.00 the missions asks for 29 Data Vaults but there are still only 28 Story Lines!!! Don't know if and where this 29th is, posted about it 2 times so far, no official answer either here, or in support or spoilers section...

Each data vault should unlock a timeline entry in the encyclopedia.

You can refer to this thread (spoiler alert) to know, from the timeline entry, which data vault you have/haven't opened, and their rough location

The 29th data vault is currently bugged and will not complete the mission when scanned.
