Hacking Pod Not Showing Up
Legit didn't even show up this time.
Held E on the Prospector Data Deposit, got the dialogue that says it's on the way.
But while holding out my laser pointer, it never showed the outline of the Hacking Pod, i never got the dialogue that says it's here and i should put down the nodes and it still doesn't show up anywhere with outlines from the laser pointer nor anywhere on the Terrain Scanner.
It's just not here.

I just had this bug for the second time now. It's like you said - mission control says the pod is on its way, but it does not arrive. Both instances for me happened with the Prospector Data Deposit that spawned randomly, not as part of an Industrial Sabotage mission.

I haven't seen that bug myself, but it is kind of interesting ... There have some posts lately saying that the drop pod never showed up when it was time to leave. I think one had a screenshot showing the pod way up high, and it apparently just never came down (and since it didn't land, there was no countdown and no way to finish the mission). Others may have said that they didn't see it at all.

I have to wonder if there is some kind of connection (eg. something broken in the "landing" code that can prevent an incoming "vehicle" from landing).

The thing is that you can see the outline of the Hacking Pod with your laser pointer the moment you call for one.
Not in my case though, and so even if it did stay up high somewhere, you should be able to see it.
And it's not like the outline is what's not working cause then i'd still get the dialogue from the guy telling me to set up the connection.
It truly just doesn't exist.

Old necro but I just had it happen to me. Good thing this post is nearly 3 years old, you'd guess they would've fixed it by now...

Was that also with the Prospector, like the two players above, or on a Sabotage mission?

I don't suppose you have a screenshot of the Escape screen (or maybe the regular screen) from that mission. That has a seed number that GSG can use to reproduce the mission.

I say "maybe the regular screen", because it can show the seed, but I think it depends on your HUD settings.
