E cells don't show on the radar anymore

E cells don't show anymore on the radar. Is this function deliberately removed from the game in the latest update or what? If it is removed what is the reason for such change?

People using a Macro to auto harvest energy I think.

OK, so from what I can tell, using a macro for e harvesting is tantamount to cheating! Can these macros be detected from the server end of the game? If so, SS should kill em! Maybe have one of those mantis destroyers come down with an infinite stun and blast em?

That would take ages, it is only equipped with a FFB...

Then make it some kind of uber imperial police that can tazer them and then one shot kill them!!

Yeah, what if they come up with a macro that kills all the enemies automaticly and collect everything they drop automaticly? Nothing would show in the radar then? A macro that plays the whole game after that?

Do people not read the patchlogs, all is explained there

My mistake not to check the patchlog, but this felt more like a bug ingame and even an ingame GM told to report the issue.

"Energy now no longer selectable in the side panel and mimimap." (Patchlog 24.3.2010)

I wouldn't call that an explanation, is there more official information why the radar was changed?
