Please make Erlking data vaults persistent on map like the other data vaults

[Falcrack]

One change recently was to make data vault icons stay visible on the map. But the data vaults in the Windfall and Avarice sectors, which give blueprints for Erlking components, disappear as soon as you are outside radar range. Please, these are difficult enough as it is to find them! Please make them behave like the data vaults in the non-DLC game, with the purple question mark appearing on map when you do a long range scan, and with the data vault icon staying visible on the map even when we aren't around!

It's a challenge. It's also easy to solve with the tool, so why do something about that?

Data Vaults can already be spotted from so far away when in the sector so I don't see any reason for this change.

I’d love this change.

I've sold my Erlking. IMO It's too tedious to hunt down the vaults, again. It was boring the first time.

About three data vaults can be found just by placing advanced sats at all gates, accelerators, highways and in each sector corner. Longrange scanning for the remaining vaults does not take that long. I think that effort is warranted for one of the most powerful ships.

Never worked for me on the second run. I've spammed all sectors with sats and pings until the started a ruckus. Nothing.

Do you know that there is a script to run on your save file that gives you all the locations?

No, that's news to me. Care to share the link?

When I was looking for Erlking vaults, I ended up doing this.



One of the vaults landed straight into a tiny gap between three satellites. I absolutely would not want to gather those vaults ever again.
