Commanders have reported, anonymously, they witnessed two capital ships closing in on an M.A.C, when the M.A.C. jumped out. The capitals were unable to pursue as at that very moment the "no time slots" bug became active. Why the M.A.C. was able to make her jump is unknown.
Officially, no Merchant Auxiliary Capitals should be operational as the last M.A.C, the Macoma was scheduled to have her Capital capabilities removed several weeks ago, reverting her to full merchant status.
