I play in German so i don´t know what it shows there for you in English ...

We all know the position markers that show you where your friends, enemies and so are if they are behind you.

Now in the Battlezones i getthose with the message "Versorgungskiste der Föderation" i think it yoult translate to "Federation Supply Crate" or so.

But if i fly to that location, there is absolutely nothing there.

    Have you Checked above and below your ship? The indicators for above and below your ships current "altitude" are not clear at all IMHO.

    I believe it's called "Federation Supply Crate" in English. I know them from the Undine Battlezone, and there they seem to coincide with the Singularity-Destroying devices.

    But there is definitely no actual supply create or Versorgungskiste there. It seems a weird thing that shouldn't even exist, or have a more sensible name, like "Federation Singularity Destruction Device" or "Romulan Singularity Destruction Device". I haven't noticed it like that on the Voth Ground zone, but it could be the same problem.

    I think it's a bug. They show as hostile occasionally, and of course when I pan to look there's nothing there.

    They're invisible placeholders for interactive objects that spawn at their point (or despawn after successful use). Usually things like the Romulan Singularity Device and the Federation Fluidic Space Destruction Device.

    Since when do placeholders show up like that? But i think you are right, they are also on the locations where NPC ships spawn, like those groups of 3 BoPs that always warp out if you come near them.

    But its irritating. You expect to find something like the ground supply crate that gives HP, Dmg and speed boosts but no, nothing.

    It could be foreshadowing for a plot twist where we discover that the Federation government's been taken over by Ionian stooges, and feddies have to align themselves with the empire or New Romulus.

    Or, it might just be a bug.
