Jackpine Savages' Home on the 'Net

So me and Raptor were hitting a resource node tonight and I knocked out a BMP enough for the crew to bail, (one rocket I'm awesome btw), so I move to take over the gun where I was very rudely sniped. Fast forward to reinsertion and my point, wtf is with BMPs and despawning?!

KP:L has a pretty aggressive despawn/garbage collection set up.  I haven't tweaked it at all because of performance related problems that others have reported.  Heck, even with that aggressive clean up they still recommend rebooting every 3 hours.     I just have it set to go once a day and we still occasionally see some weird stuff.
