[#163][5.10 HF3] Scrap Cube in Avarice 5 has a visible recycling symbol before being located

The attached image was taken after entering the system for the first time. I had not done a Long Range Scan yet.

Mouse-cursoring over the icon reveals "Unknown Object" text below it. When I got within gravadar range, it turned out to be a Scrap Cube.

I don't know if this is intended map behaviour or not. Reporting since it seems odd in comparison to other map icons.

This can be observed in the following save. I saved the game with the map matching #3 below so the steps might not be needed.

Steps to see the errant Scrap Cubes:

1. Centre the Map on Windfall IV Aurora's Dream.
2. Zoom in until station names appear.
3. Zoom in one more level (as defined by mouse wheel zoom levels).

At this point the recycle symbols should be visible in space even though I have no objects in the sector providing map visibility. Inconceivable!

Greetings

I have found several reports mentioning this problem, some refer to the very distant junk cubes, others to the Manticores being killed.
In my case I refer to the Manticores, which despite not having a view of the entire work area, tend to collect scrap from patrolling ships that are destroyed by Kha'ak installation in the fog of war.

In my game this has already happened several times and so far I have solved the problem by banning sectors that contained Kha'ak installations.
This time, however, it happened in the Memory of Profits sector, where I currently teleport my HQ.
In this case it is not possible for me to ban the sector otherwise the Manticores would no longer work for the station, so the solution at the moment is to destroy the Kha'ak installation.

I then add my SAVEGAME where the Manticore (WKI-247) can be observed going to collect one of these not yet visible debris.

Then I ran a test using SETA for some time and as expected all the Manticores in my possession were eliminated one by one from the Kha'ak installation (new Manticores will go to collect the wreckage of the killed Manticores).
