The object despawn distance is too cllose!

[Tigga]

It seems to me all I need to do is go about 10k from an object, and it despawns.

What gives? If I hatch-breaker a cargo vessel, it will often carry on running, and the cargo will be spread out over quite a large distance. Given the hatch breaker often only spills a few containers I often want to carry on chasing the target. If I do this, however, anything that was dropped in the first spill will despawn by the time I get back to it. This is rather annoying. I've lost about 100k credits in loot so far to this issue, so it's not a massive problem, but it is annoying.

Its not about the distance...cargo disolves over time.

It is about the distance. Cargo despawns when you get too far from it.

go to contact when there are cannisters in space and you will see that there is a timer for each canister, they "despawn" when that timer hits 0 no matter how close you are.

This is true. They also despawn when you get too far away. About 10km.

True when you chase a mark too far away the y will despawn, even if you track your way back via your engine trails.

Needs to be readjusted. As the cargo had 97% health and i was 12km off 30 seconds later.

You speak about cargo but I have the problem that half the enemies I hunt disapear without a trace. Happens whenever they are 20km out of the instance center.
Also enemies disapear when they fall 8km behind you and have 10% hull left only. I can't count how many bounty and time I lost due to that game mechanics.
Don't know why Frontier made such extrem limits in range and times(cargo). Makes no sense. A good fight needs space and cargo tiem to pick up. Although I never pcik up cargo.
