Auton gates after death

I've recently started purchasing insurance (spent around $160,000 by now) and I came across a bug.

After I was resurrected, I noticed my mule auton, which was waiting nearby when I died, was heading away and toward the nearest gate. I couldn't catch him in time and he left.

I didn't find him in the system he gated to ether.

That's true. Anytime a player gets killed, any active auton (or even wingmen) will automatically gate out. Reason; when created, they're assigned to the player as an escort. Whenever the player gets killed, the autons no longer have anyone to protect or be assigned to so they gate out.

But, as you stated about buying insurance, any active auton should be reassigned to the player once the insurance Co. resurrects you. But that's not written in the code. Hopefully it will be someday.
