Summary [ ]

Crashed Ships are ane of various planetary Points of Interest.

They spawn randomly on planets, and tin can be of several sizes and classes (check out the starship folio for the different types and how to spot the all-time). The player tin choose to merits and repair it, or exchange it for a ameliorate one at a Space Station or an Outpost. The crashed transport can be exchanged for one of the ships already owned, or, if fewer than six ships are already owned, information technology can exist added to your starship collection. The ship not in use will exist stored on the freighter. For players that don't ain a freighter tin notwithstanding own more than 1 ship, it will just stay on the footing where they were establish. Warping the freighter one time subsequently accepting the crashed transport will motility the other ship to the hangar.

Interacting with the Distress Beacon will give the histrion a random reward dependent on the role player'southward choice of two possible actions, including units, Nanite Clusters, standing with a race, and maybe a module. There is always a Damaged Mechanism nearby likewise, providing some Nanite Clusters, Starship Launch Fuel, or a module.

The site can be empty, with a reddish orb in the Distress Beacon, broadcasting a message that the Crashed Send was removed.

The player may encounter the pilot of the crashed ship nearby. Talking to the pilot volition present an option to repair the ship, enabling the pilot to get dorsum in and take off. No materials are required to repair the send. Information technology is not possible to merits the transport in this case.

Locating [ ]

Crashed Ships can be located in a variety of means:

Using Transmission Towers. After correctly solving a number sequence at a Transmission Tower, a Distress Signal can exist establish (in some rare instances the location of a Crashed Freighter will be constitute instead). Transmission Towers are part of the Habitable Outposts signals when using a Navigation Data in the Signal Booster.
Crashed Ships announced as white dots on a Starship scope when flight across a planetary surface, just like other ships.
Using Exocrafts. Nautilon scanner allows scanning for drowned starships nearby, and Minotaur allows scanning for nearby distress signals.

Using Navigation Data [ ]

Yous can exchange Navigation Data for a Planetary Chart. Activating Planetary Chart from your inventory volition mark a Point of Interest on the same or (if not on any), on the closest planet. The type is random, not necessarily a Crashed Ship. A proficient source for Navigation Information is an Ancient Data Structure, labeled equally a yellow I on the Scanner Visor on some planets.

Historical notation: Visions or earlier: Using a Point Booster, with Navigation Data and scanning for Distress Frequencies. There are several types of Distress Frequencies, so more than one scan may be needed to find a Distress Signal, just clear any signals found before scanning again.

Location Strategy [ ]

Distress Signal Detected

Cease any Distress Frequencies you may have on the planet. That is any of these: Observatory, Abandoned Building or Crashed Freighter.
Practise a scan for Distress Frequencies, using the Planetary Nautical chart (distress betoken), wing to and articulate whatever effect of the 3 types above.
If the signal plant was non a Distress Signal and the previous upshot was cleared, scan again using some other Planetary Chart, repeat the process above until the first Distress Signal is found. Exist aware that some planets may not have a Crashed Send. This tin be identified if you go the same sites again.
Later finding and immigration the first Distress Indicate on that planet, don't fly away! Use the Planetary Chart again. This will observe another Distress signal on that planet, if there is any. This will simply work if you are close to the current Distress Indicate. Echo until you get the same Signal again, or one that you accept already visited.
Be sure to interact with the Distress Buoy at the site. Your game volition mark it equally constitute for the next browse(s).
Instead of using Planetary Chart (distress signal), it's possible to apply Planetary Chart (inhabited outpost). Search for a Transmission Tower to go the first Distress Betoken.
One known bug is a Crashed Freighter bespeak staying active later running it. This tin can block scanning for Distress Signals. It is easily identified with the scan declining merely after using the Planetary Nautical chart. One way to clear off that stuck Crashed Freighter signal is to scan for a Drop Pod using Decipher and a Drib Pod Coordinate Data, but beware this will also remove whatsoever other signals currently tracked.

Boosted method - Observe a h2o planet in a rich system (Gek is better for a greater gamble at the more than expensive haulers). Build a Nautilon on the water planet. At that signal, utilize the Nautilon sonar to locate crashed ships with no false positives. Repair launcher and pulse drive and go to station to scrap at the salvage station, or repair if y'all want to continue it. If you lot observe a good hauler, marking information technology with a save beacon and check back in a few days considering they respawn. Move effectually in the Nautilon as little every bit possible because they're slow. If no crashed transport is found in a certain area, get back in your transport and move to a unlike office of the ocean and effort again.

Repairing [ ]

In order to fly the crashed ship afterward claiming information technology, key technologies on the ship need repair. To launch, these 2 systems need to be repaired:

Launch Thruster:
- 50x Pure Ferrite,
- 1x Di-hydrogen Jelly (40x Di-hydrogen)

Pulse Engine:
- 1x Hermetic Seal (30x Condensed Carbon)
- 1x Metal Plating (50x Ferrite Grit)

After repairing these ii systems and adding this send to the collection (if you choose to practise so), either it or the previously flown ship may be left at that place. The next time the freighter jumps or is summoned, the ship left backside volition be transferred to the hangar.

If you have fewer than six ships, you tin can add the crashed ship to your collection. If yous already have vi ships yous can exchange ane for the crashed send. Any ships from the freighter can be summoned down to be used for the exchange. Beware that the current active ship will be lost forever when the commutation button is pressed, so exist certain to transfer cargo and destroy whatsoever mods on it.

To take the ship into space, it is also recommended to repair your new send's shield and guns, because y'all never know who or what is out there.

Multiple Damaged Components limit storage and technology installation, but each of these can exist repaired to gratuitous upward the slots and increment the merchandise-in value of the ship.

Scavenging [ ]

This can no longer be done, if you choose to non claim it you can not proceeds anything from it. (Next). In an exchange, remember to transfer cargo and destroy any modules on the transport existence scrapped.

Trading in or Scrapping Crashed Ships [ ]

Once the Launch Thruster and Pulse Engine are repaired, the ship can be flown to a Infinite Station, Merchandise Outpost or a Minor Settlement (any place with a Landing Pad) and merchandise it for any of the ships landing there. Since Synthesis the whole ship tin can likewise exist scrapped at the Starship Outfitting Terminal on a Space station. The trade-in or scrapping value will be reduced by the ratio of Damaged Components to full slots. For example, a Class B shuttle with 24 slots is worth 2,280,000. The normal trade-in value is 70% of that, or ane,596,000. If 12 of the 24 slots take damaged components, the trade-in value will exist reduced past 50% to 798,000. Damaged installed technology (due east.g. Photon Cannon or Deflector Shield) and damaged Technology Slots practise not count against the trade-in value. (i.e. repairing damaged technology slots will not increase the value of the ship)

If you choose not to repair the Launch Thruster and the Pulse Engine, this method volition transfer the send to a Space Station and permit you to chip it:

claim the crashed transport but go out it at the crash site
wing away with another send from your collection
from inside the perimeter of one of your bases, recall the crashed ship on the ground and make it your agile ship by climbing in the cockpit
use a Base Teleporter to get to a Space Station, and the crashed send will be teleported to the Space station with you, still damaged and unable to fly
use the Starship Outfitting Final to scrap the send
