Also seems to Occur on Sophia.

The issue may be less that there are "ghost" Spongoi present and more that the Sprongoi that already exist in the Mush-room are indisginguable from Mech Ops objectives.
For example:
- Sinus Adorum 28.1 29.9
- Sinus Adorum 29.4 30.4
- Sinus Adorum 29.4 29.9
- Sinus Adorum 30.0 30.5
- Sinus Adorum 30.4 30.7



These all exist even when the Mech Op is not active.

When Objective Spongoi appear, I understand the only way to tell them apart from the set dressing is to have seen them spawn in and the cloud of smoke. Without that observation it's not clear which is an objective and which is part of the scenery.


tl;dr It's unclear which giant spongoi are meant to be there and which are quest objectives for Mech Pilots.

[EdwinaRose]

That's true. I also find that some of them do disappear after the Mech Op is over.

[HyonaCookie]

Same problem occurs with corrupted crystals. I can target and shoot them, but their "health" won't change.
