Issues with NPCs collecting lockboxes - lockbox bounces to other sectors

Post by kmunoz » Tue, 8. Jun 21, 05:54

I haven't seen any reports of this before, so here goes:

I'm on an unmodded save and I'm encountering the following oddity. It occurs when I'm traveling through a sector that has a lockbox visible, and another of my ships spots it while I'm in that sector and I authorize that ship to collect it.

If I move to another sector before it has had a chance to collect the lockbox, when I check the map again the lockbox is now in the sector that I've moved to. I know it's the same lockbox because the AI-controlled ship still has orders to pick it up - but it's no longer in the sector where it originated. The AI-controlled ship will move to my sector to pick up the lockbox rather than going to the place where the box originally appeared. And if I move to another sector again, the lockbox "follows" me by reappearing in this new (third) sector.

Please provide a link to an unmodified save that on loading reliably shows the issue in action or about to happen. Thanks.
