Abandoned ship systems disappeared?

That's generally not a problem if you have the scanner away team item, for as long as you remember to get back to your shuttle after cleaning a level on which you'd found a large item.

Well, generally; sometimes the level is divided in two and you just can't get to the other part, in which case there might or might not have been an item but it's not like it really matters since you wouldn't get it anyway.

I've only got to sector 16 so far, only recently got a hand scanner, which I might not always bring, preferring a terrain device on appropriate planets, or an oxygen device for caves.

So far at these lower levels anyway, I find there are fairly often cases when I might otherwise choose to return to the ship or ascend or descend before exploring an entire planet or cave level, because I want to swap away party equipment, or I'm running low on air.

In space too, I may often want to dock or warp before exploring an entire sector.

So I'm just saying that this is now a competing consideration why I might think to avoid doing those things.
