i was on endor today hunting on my alt, and i found a nest of screechers. i decided to take it out, and a baby popped. i quickly logged this account and headed to endor. here's where everything gets weird.
i start driving out towards the wp i emailed myself, and alt-tab to my alt to make sure the baby is still there. as soon as i alt-tab, the baby despawns, and the whole lair goes with it. of course i was upset, so i said a few curses and decided to keep hunting, because i can accept the fact that this game is complete trash when it comes to sustaining a spawn. i start driving my speederbike, and the lair respawns 100m away from its initial spot with the same number of regular mantrigues (7) out but no baby.
i hunted for the next 2 hours, and found nothing.
is there any logical explanation for why this happened?
also, why me?

Maybe somebody had the mission then cancelled it. I think when a mission is cancelled it disapears.

It's a glitch. It has happened to me (wp emailed by an in game friend), and it hasn't (another wp emailed to me). My theory, fwiw, is that lairs will despawn at times if the first round of creatures have been taken out or if the lair has been tapped and the player leaves the area for a period of time - like 5 minutes. Then again, back when my char was a young'un, I've left lairs after the second tap, e.g., got 'em nice and smokey, and have come back hours later, after leaving the planet and returning even, to find the lair still spewing smoke.
Wait - let's be nice to the devs - it's a feature - no, really.
