Ghost ships?

OK, so I transferred 8 ships to my new base. The map is showing their red icons are still in their own location!

Are these ghost ships? What gives? Surely FD would have sorted out moving the red markers in time for the 2.2 release, especially as it's an important feature. Surely?
 
A couple of years ago, I had a friend mail a parcel from Georgia, USA to me here in Australia. I received it a week and a half later and e-mailed him to thank him, and he was surprised I already had it - he'd been watching the parcel tracker online and according to that website, the parcel was still sitting in the airport in Atlanta.

Maybe your ships are like that. :p

Alternatively, it would be really weird if it turned out his ships were stuck in georgia.
 
Hilarious guys :D I suppose they could be in Georgia. Aren't REM from Georgia? I'd blame them as they put Sidewinders to sleep :p

I flew my new pimped taxi Hauler (it wees all over Uber) back to the new base to check. Yep, all the ships are still there. Only the icons haven't moved. So yes Weps, the ships did arrive there. About eight hours ago before I went to bed :D

I've an idea. I'm going to launch each ship from the new base and redock there (the esc to menu option has changed so you don't leave the base unless you are near the mailslot!) Hopefully this action will reset the red icons.

EDIT 1 - with the escape method on take-off (menu log), the ship disappears from its old location BUT it doesn't reappear at it's new. I have lost an asp icon!
EDIT 2 - that's because I'm still in that ship so of course the icon doesn't show up. Duh!
EDIT 3 - you don't have to even take off. In the case of a multiple transfer to one location, just change to the ship with the erroneous icon, and it'll become properly fixed on the map. So if you transfer six ships, do six changes. Clearly a bug.

Mystery solved but I will submit a bug report. Thanks for all your help guys, I couldn't have done it without you :p
