I posted this a couple weeks ago but didn't get any response (except screen shot requests). While running the Scrap Yard mission (in a Centaur with dual gatling cannons) I blow away a couple Artemis collectors and get their crates, but after that when I blow one up I see their crates go zooming off into the distance where they disappear. I've seen this on my WinXP machine and on an OSX mac at work, so its not system related. Anyone should be able to reproduce this bug. Its happened to me in both Artana and Jalik too.

After playing some more, I had a thought about this, a question really. Do a ship's crates disappear if you overkill it? its the best explanation I have for why some ships cargo goes away and others stay, because I am pumping ungodly firepower at weak collector bots (so that they can't really bother me while I'm collecting their gift boxes) If so, its a cool but slightly annoying feature.

I've *never* heard of this except from you, so I'm not sure it is easily reproducible. I agree that it is probably not system related, since you have experienced this on two different computers in different locations.

So the cargo zooms off, but asteroids and nearby ships hold their positions while the cargo is on the move? Does the cargo move at turbo speed, or slower?
