I found some strange “lost” capsules.

The names of their owners do not appear in local.

The capsules are at the sun lined up and bugging around.

I cannot scoop them in any way.

What is happening here?

Sound intriguing, love to know what happened, if you can’t scoop them up, try killing them to see if they generate KMs.

Sometimes miners biomass while their pod is in space. Their pod is moved to the center of the sun (hell) and stays there until server maintenance.

So i came back there.

The capsules have moved to the center of the sun.  
If i warp to them i dont even see them on the overview.  
But i get agressivly warped out.

Next time i find those capsules in open space i kill them instantly.

(Had to lower the quality to upload the video)

I am still curious how these capsules can occur.

Do you really think its biomass in space?

If it would be a single capsule i might be okay with it.

Edit:

You can delete a chatacter only outside of the game through the launcher (?) or the character selection screen right. Not while online and in space. Correct me if wrong.

To be clear, the character name needs to be Drosera Binata.

You’ll go straight into the sun.

These are probably database mishaps from pods being destroyed which would normally be removed. It used to be the case that all destroyed ships and pods got insta moved to a specific system and location in Dev space to then be deleted/flushed at downtime, they do it differently nowadays but I bet this is somehow related.
