Topic: Dissappearing Field Cans?

I deployed a field can today, entered the password when prompted, then the can simply disappeared.  Yes, I have my filters set to view containers.  The guys in Help chat said it was a bug.  So is this really a bug?  Anyone else experiencing this ?  Is this just a fluke that should not / will not happen again ?

Whether or nor this is a bug, it is rather annoying.  Field cans are supposed to allow you to gather large amounts a stuff far from a terminal.  If you drive out miles from nowhere, then the can disappears, your operations are essentially scuttled at that point.  Not fun.  Not efficient.  Nor is it feasible to take a spare can in case the first one vaporizes...

We can only hope that this will be fixed when the cans are going to be persistant and an SQL object, not a thing that sits in the memory (I am still not sure how this works atm, but I am pretty sure is more a hack in the code than something real big_smile )

A fix ould be appreciated.  As it is,  they either need to make cans 0 (zero) size when being transported, so you can haul spare cans with no cargo space penalty (as a workaround), or maybe they should just fix the bug.

afaik theyre already working on new can code.
