Mobile Tractor Unit not function if you aren't in system?

Anyone else have this problem? My MTUs that I leave in another system have wrecks that aren't tractored, the later they were dropped the less they have done, which would be consistent with them ceasing to function when you jump out of system. Is this intended? This makes them a lot less useful to people with missioning boats that can kill at a rapid rate.

Been a few weeks since I ran a mission, but they always functioned while I was out of system. It would have to be a recent change.

Not happening on my end. Bug report it, MTU's should continue to function even if you are not logged in, let alone in the same system.

They work perfectly fine for me if I leave the system.

they work fine for me too. are you dragging your own wrecks or the wrecks of an alt?, is that alt on the same fleet? same corp? check the ownership of the wrecks.

the only other reason the Tractors stop working is because the 27km3 can gets filled.

It was odd, I would drop an MTU, and then I would come back later witrh my alt in a noctis to salvage everything with a full rack of salvagers to make it super fast and the MTU wouldn't be tractoring wrecks. When my main came back in system to pick up the MTU it was tractoring again.
