This has happened three times so far, and is not a "lag" issue, so please do not treat it as such as I have confirmed my connectivity to VO when this bug appeared.

This has happened twice before.

In the past, I witnessed something rather implausible, a bot that got sent flying away at incredible speeds. It took 5 minutes for it to reappear and attack me.

The first time it happened I was jumping into the sector and the NPC was nowhere in sight. It took five minutes for it to come find me, who was not in motion.

The second time it happened is when I killed an NPC, and was damaged by the NPC I just popped, then I selected the next bot to kill, and it moved away at an incredible speed. It had to have covered the entire 5k of my range in less a half-second.

Both times this has happened the bot returned at around the five minute mark. The bots were not damaged at all, so I think there was no impact, but they may have had the wrong position in the next instance.

Unfortunately I can't get this to reproduce, and I have no idea what's causing it. It's seemingly random.
