Reloading a save next to a SPRT beacon causes wreck to disappear

I am using the Steam version 1.206.032 b0 default build.

I've had three separate incidents this playthrough of the exact same thing. I couldn't find any such "Feature" in the changelog, so it appears to be a bug to me. I will see a SPRT Beacon, find the wreck and move up next to it. I usually quick save at that point (Shift F5). Later on if I have to reload that save, I'm in the same place, but the wreck and beacon is completely gone. I thought I had reloaded the wrong save the first time, but it's happened twice since then.


I really hope this isn't some kind of new "feature" to prevent save scumming, because if so I'll find myself playing a lot less of this game in the future.


Both times, the wreck was a red style ship that was broken into 3 major pieces with several operating turret guns (interior and exterior). I would post a screenshot of the wreck, but alas there's nothing here anymore.

Loaded up the same playthrough and travelled a bit, found another Mayday, and this is the same crash model as the report above.

Going to see how far I can get before it disappears this time too.

It seems the image I posted here in this comment didn't save - it was a screencap of me right next to the large hydrogen thruster on the left side of the wreck.

Apparently none of my screencaps now are saving in comments - the final screenshot was me alone in space again, no wreck, no beacon, no mayday. 4th time now this has happened.

So it happened again - this time you can see from my "Continue" thumbnail that there's the picture of the large hydrogen thruster that I'm hiding behind. But when I load it, I'll be alone in space again.

Apparently I'm playing the theme to the movie Groundhog Day, I've got a 5th mayday, and it's the SAME exact wreck. Same shape, same pieces, same gun placement, etc. Starting to wonder if I should trash this save and start again.
