Untraceable Type 9 - Alliance Military Courrier Vessel not leaving wake signal

Quite odd... this is the 4th time I'm chasing a Type 9 - Alliance Military Courrier and it doesn't behave like the others (Anaconda/Corvette/Cutter):

1. They are very rare;
2. If you try and follow it in supercruise it will drop and will not leave a wake so you can go after it;
3. Upon interdiction this ship it will not spawn in your instance even after several minutes like the other Military Courrier Vessels;

Made a video out of it...

If you come across one of these, please, try to manifest scan it and post a screenshot/video of the contents on its cargo hold.
 
The target dropped off your radar cause you are travelling too slow.
The couriers have a variety of cargo. Here is a cutter

If you find a Type 9 as Military Courtier, try and interdict or drop out of supercruise after it.
Once again, I'm quite used to collect SAP8 from these ships and this is different... very different.
Something else is going on here. Just keep your eyes opened.

Hi, i'm looking for thargoid probe and i see one in the manifest, what was the system name pls? Or if you know systems with thargoid probe to be hacked (megaship are broken and spawn rate in NHSS7 are buggy).
Thx in advance ;)
 
Going for some tinfoilery here - wasn't Bill Turner, an engineer in Lave, involved in some tomfoolery with meta alloys and FSD to make a wakeless version?

I'm hoping this post doesn't get yanked for the following quote from Premonition.
"MetaDrive? As in Meta-alloys?"

Are you sure that was a cutter? Federal Navy ship, Imperial Cutter?

Yes! This is why I'm bringing this up so people can also try and manifest scan these Type 9 Alliance Military Courrier Vessels...

So, please, if any of you come across an Alliance Type 9 Military Courrier Vessel, go after it!

My FC is in Anca now and I have loads of goodies

Heading there right now! (y). If you want help to gather them it will be my pleasure.
Until then i'll get all you have stored :ROFLMAO:
 
I wonder if there is a connection to this other thread:
 
Normally the npc is spawned in directly behind your ship as you drop.(when you do not drop close to the npc) Even if it does not show on sensors initially. The longer range your sensors the further out they will normally be.

These t-9s are insanely rare. I have been hunting mcvs for ages and only ever seen ~2 alliance t-9 mcvs.
 
These are just the "high-value" targets which got added in a few patches back. They spawn for all factions with similar cargo loadouts, so nothing special there.

They're meant to be "valuable" takedowns... but the cargo is only worth something like 3-5 million, and is stolen to boot... for the effort involved, not really worth it.

Please, try to find and interdict one of these Military Courrier Type 9s and manifest scan it... then we'll know for sure what they are transporting. Because as for now, the thing won't show up after successful interdiction.

It's a bug, like so many others e.g like how you can't follow low-wakes anymore.
