AP2.0 obtaining jump beacons

[Vyrebird]

The buggy ships aren't jumping away, they're poofing entirely. In the cases where I was watching closely, it was always shortly after successfully capping the ship, though the precise time delay varied - sometimes the ship would poof the moment I capped it, other times I could fly to it, transfer a JD & ECs, and have it start a jump order before poofing.

(the monitor bit is very handy for following the ships that do jump, but that's a separate behavior )

like i mentioned before, i was able to counter the "poof" by entering the ship "personally" right after it went green.

I had a Zephyrus just vanish on me when me marines were hacking the core.
Took 8 of my 4 star marines with it, (I was using it to bump them up to the final star).
Not even RRF just an OTAS High Tech Transporter...
I did snaffle one of the Solanos on the reload though.

Just to confirm that as of 2.0a Jump Beacons can still be obtained. My game was created in 2.0 and recently patched to 2.0a I found the RR ships not working with long range scanners as previously posted. But they do still exist in sectors around the place. It took me a few days to spot a ship (in my case a Split Rapid Response Raptor in Family Pride) with a jump beacon showing up via a freight scan, and destroying the ship did NOT yield a JB, but boarding it did. Also can confirm they are deployed in the same way as a satellite, and re-deployable in the same manner also.
