Procedural asteroids are invisible to a camera placed on a ship that is under remote control (from a planet surface)

Is this because the player needs to be in the area for asteroids to spawn or because you really just cant see a known (previously discovered with the character) asteroid from a drone camera?

As in the same issue with the spectator camera, if you fly around in space you will not see asteroids get generated until you move the player character to the area.

It is probably related to the changes for performance reasons, it was not like this in the past. A camera fitted to a ship should see the asteroids the same as a character, otherwise remote controlled ships become virtually useless beyond the view distance of the character position.

I agree, a remote controlled object should have the same effect on asteroid spawn as the player.

Perhaps all the same effects as the player also should be included? Such as drones will target it and cargo ships should spawn near it?

I agree with this. I'm trying to develop a play style where I basically 'pod' my character and remotely interact with the world in a safe house type of bunker. This play style is currently impossible. :(

I agree that a remote controlled ship should behave just as a live player for procedural generation purposes. I mean, it's not like they have infinite range; they can only go as far as standard antenna range, which is 50 km. You can't control a drone via laser antennas since line of sight would be disrupted by simple maneuvering.

It's still a problem, lost 1x large grid ship before Frostbite due to this (asteroid became visible with 100-200m, no chance to stop), and my drones still have the exact same problem.
