I was intercepting a capture-the-cargo transport as it was leaving Daltus Hold. It was flying towards me, and I shot it with as much as 3-4 gauss shots (not nearly enough to kill it) before it jumped. I immediately jumped after it, and when I got to there, I was the only ship within range (using 'u') and the Xithricite was floating in space near by.

Submitting this bug now. Anyone else seen something like this?

[edit] I just remembered, there was no notification that the transport was destroyed.

I haven't actually witnessed a transport spontaneously exploding, but earlier today (12:30EDT or so) I did stumble upon a bunch (as in enough to fill a cargo ship, none missing I think) of Premium Xithricite Ore floating in space with no one else around. Sounds like it could be the same issue.

I've also witnessed this when attempting to escort a cargo caravan. The support ships also dissappeared after the jump. I think they've figured it out as I haven't gotten any more notices on 201 or 202

Ya this is known and should be fixed this weekend.

this also seems to apply to non-convoy NPC transports.. I ran across a ton of cargo last night, just floating in patches by the Dau wh in Azek..... just an FYI

This was fixed last night (roughly 11 hours ago).

I'll start up a new batch of NPC traders.
