Crashed Ships are a Point of Interest.

Summary [ ]

Crashed Ships are i of various planetary Points of Interest.

They spawn randomly on planets, and can be of several sizes and classes (cheque out the starship page for the unlike types and how to spot the best). The histrion tin choose to claim and repair it, or exchange it for a ameliorate one at a Infinite Station or an Outpost. The crashed ship can exist exchanged for one of the ships already owned, or, if fewer than nine ships are already owned, information technology tin exist added to your starship collection. The transport not in use will exist stored on the freighter. Warping the freighter i time later on accepting the crashed ship volition move the other transport to the hangar. Players that don't own a freighter can still ain more than than one transport, it will just stay on the basis where they were establish until they leave the system (eg. teleporting, reloading a save). Alternatively, the thespian tin can summon any claimed ship using the Quick Menu (if already repaired or the histrion has left the system) or by visiting the Infinite Anomaly and swapping ships via the Quick Menu.

Interacting with the Distress Buoy will give the player a random reward dependent on the player'southward option of ii possible actions, including units, Nanite Clusters, standing with a race, and maybe a module. There is e'er a Damaged Machinery nearby also, providing some Nanite Clusters, Starship Launch Fuel, or a module.

The site can be empty, with a scarlet orb in the Distress Beacon, dissemination a message to a nearby Atlas Interface. If the histrion opens their Galaxy Map, the Atlas Interface of the local galactic region will exist marked with a waypoint and warp pathway.

The thespian may encounter the pilot of the crashed transport nearby. Talking to the pilot will present an option to repair the send, enabling the airplane pilot to get back in and take off. No materials are required to repair the send. It is not possible to claim the ship in this case.

Locating [ ]

Crashed Ships can be located in a diversity of ways:

Using Transmission Towers. After correctly solving a number sequence at a Transmission Tower, a Distress Indicate can be found (in some rare instances the location of a Crashed Freighter will be found instead). Transmission Towers are among the Inhabited Outposts that tin can exist found when using an Inhabited Outpost Planetary Chart.
Crashed Ships appear equally white dots on a Starship scope when flying across a planetary surface, simply similar other ships.
Using Exocrafts. Nautilon scanner allows scanning for drowned starships nearby, and Minotaur allows scanning for nearby distress signals.

Using Navigation Data [ ]

Yous tin exchange Navigation Data for a Planetary Nautical chart. Activating a Planetary Nautical chart from your inventory will mark a Bespeak of Interest on the same or (if non on any), on the closest planet. The point of involvement is random for its chart type (Distress Point charts for Crashed Ship). Proficient sources of Navigation Data are Ancient Data Structures, Waypoints, and Encrypted Navigation Data.

Historical note: Visions or earlier: Using a Signal Booster, with Navigation Information and scanning for Distress Frequencies. There are several types of Distress Frequencies, then more than one scan may be needed to find a Distress Betoken, just clear whatever signals found before scanning again.

Location Strategy [ ]

Distress Indicate Detected

Practise a scan for Distress Frequencies, using the Planetary Nautical chart (distress signal)
If the signal plant is whatever of these: Observatory, Abandoned Building or Crashed Freighter, practise non visit the location. Browse again using some other Planetary Chart and ignore any errors that state a similar structure is already marked (charts volition non be expended). Actuate the nautical chart repeatedly until a Distress Bespeak is revealed.
If the signal found was non a Distress Signal, scan again using another Planetary Chart, repeat the procedure above until the get-go Distress Signal is found. Be aware that some planets may non have a Crashed Ship. This can exist identified if you get the same sites again.
Afterward finding and clearing the first Distress Signal on that planet, information technology is recommended you lot fly to the other side of the planet before activating another chart. Being likewise close volition likely mark the aforementioned site, even if you have already claimed the transport and accessed the crash buoy.
Be certain to interact with the Distress Beacon at the site. Your game will mark it equally found for the next scan(southward).
Instead of using Planetary Chart (distress signal), information technology's possible to use Planetary Chart (inhabited outpost). Search for a Transmission Tower to get the first Distress Point.
I known bug is a Crashed Freighter point staying active later on running it. Since the Prisms update, this no longer affects Distress Signals from being marked.

Additional method - Detect a h2o planet in a rich organisation (Gek is best equally information technology provides a greater chance at the more than expensive haulers). Build a Nautilon on the h2o planet. At that betoken, use 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 you want to proceed it. If you lot observe a good hauler, mark it with a save buoy and check back in a few days because they respawn. Move around in the Nautilon as little as possible because they're irksome. If no crashed send is found in a certain area, become back in your send and movement to a unlike function of the sea and try again. Note: on rare occasions, sunken ships may be accompanied by a pilot, rendering the ship unclaimable.

Repairing [ ]

In order to fly the crashed ship after challenge information technology, key technologies on the ship demand repair. To launch, these two 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)

Subsequently repairing these 2 systems and adding this send to the collection (if you lot cull to practise then), either information technology or the previously flown transport may be left there. The adjacent fourth dimension the freighter jumps or is summoned, the ship left behind volition exist transferred to the hangar.

If y'all take fewer than six ships, you lot can add the crashed ship to your collection. If y'all already have six ships you tin can exchange one for the crashed transport. Whatsoever ships from the freighter can be summoned downwards to be used for the exchange. Beware that the electric current active ship will be lost forever when the commutation button is pressed, so be sure to transfer cargo and destroy any mods on information technology.

To accept the ship into space, it is also recommended to repair your new ship'due south shield and guns, because yous never know who or what is out there.

Multiple Damaged Components limit storage and applied science installation, but each of these can be repaired to free upwards the slots and increase the merchandise-in value of the ship.

Scavenging [ ]

This can no longer be done, if you cull to not claim it you tin can not gain annihilation from it. (NEXT). In an exchange, recollect to transfer cargo and destroy any modules on the ship being scrapped.

Trading in or Scrapping Crashed Ships [ ]

Once the Launch Thruster and Pulse Engine are repaired, the ship tin can be flown to a Space Station, Trade Outpost or a Minor Settlement (any place with a Landing Pad) and trade it for any of the ships landing at that place. Since Synthesis the whole ship can too exist scrapped at the Starship Outfitting Final on a Space station. The merchandise-in or scrapping value volition exist reduced by the ratio of Damaged Components to total slots. For example, a Class B shuttle with 24 slots is worth ii,280,000. The normal trade-in value is seventy% of that, or 1,596,000. If 12 of the 24 slots have damaged components, the merchandise-in value will be reduced by 50% to 798,000. Damaged installed technology (e.m. Photon Cannon or Deflector Shield) and damaged Technology Slots exercise non count confronting the merchandise-in value. (i.eastward. 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 will transfer the ship to a Infinite Station and let yous to bit it:

claim the crashed ship but leave it at the crash site
fly away with some other ship from your collection
from within the perimeter of one of your bases, recall the crashed ship on the ground and make it your active ship by climbing in the cockpit
apply a Base Teleporter to become to a Space Station, and the crashed transport will be teleported to the Space station with you Notation: ship will arrive with launch thruster and pulse engine repaired but all other damaged tech volition remain damaged
employ the Starship Outfitting Terminal to bit the ship Note: later on scrapping, if the histrion'south default send was also damaged, it will not go far repaired
