no need to fix the crashed ship. Fly back to the space station with your working ship then swop it out before scrapping it. The new update allows you to switch ships in the space station.
this does not work as you will get the notification that the "select ship is damage" meaning you cannot swap it in space station you have to fix it first at least launch and hypercharge
Hey, anyone who doesn’t want to fly to every distress signal to find out if it has a pilot or is abandoned, if you notice the pop up in the bottom-right when you start the pulse drive towards a distress beacon, it tells you whether or not the ship is abandoned. So, you don’t need to go all the way to check the ship to see if it has the orb or a pilot, you can either start pulse driving towards it or you can tag it in your hud. P.S. If you want a really cool S-class starship from the very start without the hassle of doing all of this, you can find a Sentinel ship, like the one he is flying. Here are the steps: 1) Turn off multiplayer. 2) Craft a whole bunch of starship batteries (trinitum and gold from asteroids). 3) Then, find sentinels on some planet- shoot at them to make them hostile- and then leave the planet on your spaceship. 4) This will make the Sentinels send Interceptors after you. If you kill enough of them using your proton cannon to take down their shields and your rockets to finish them in one shot, they’ll send a Dreadnought after you. 5) Using starship batteries to stay alive, take out the Dreadnought’s shield balls and its turrets, and then just keep shooting it until it dies. 6) Once dead, it will cause other hostile ships to cease conflict with you and retreat, and more importantly it will drop a Ship AI, which will show you the coordinates of the nearest fallen Sentinel ship. 6) Go to the coordinates, find the ship, compete all the steps of repairing the ship, and then claim the ship. 7) Then congratulations, you have your own fancy S-class Sentinel spaceship, with an enormous ship cargo space and a ton of tech slots.
Yeah, I watched the message pop up in the video and was confused why he said he had to go check if it was abandoned. Maybe this was a recent change and he was used to having to verify?
Jason, now that you can swap between ships at Space Stations you no longer need to fly the damaged ships to the station. Simply get back in your good ship, remember the name of the broken one and fly your good ship there. Swap ince you get to the station and you dont need to worry about being attacked on your way there.
@@AF1gaming1999 Yes but those are some of the cheapest parts to repair on the ships. The way he put it was as if he forgot that you could switch your ship in the stations now. You still have to repair them to get off planet too after all.
IIRC you can actually skip repairing even that if you REALLY want to. Once you claim the ship, fly your good ship off the planet and summon your freighter. Once you do the damaged ship will now be on your freighter. Get into and immediately back out of your BROKEN SHIP to change it to your primary starship then go use the teleporter to teleport to the space station. It'll drop you there with the broken ship. It's a few extra steps but it's an option if you really want to skip the small repairs.
@@Mad-Lad-Chad You can also summon the Atlas and swap to a broken ship in there. That will automatically repair the pulse drive and launch thrusters for you.
@@SdotMAULER yeah, build a minotaur and build its scanner, get into the mech and now you are ready to find some crashed ships. Minotaur might find one of these three scenarios: crashed freighters, crashed ships with pilots and crashed ships without pilots. It is the last one that gives you the ship.
The sub scanner is 10x better guaranteeing you a crashed ship without a pilot. So there's really no need to not use it unless you're on a planet that has zero water.
I've only been playing No Man Sky since the last expedition and already put almost 200 hours into it. What a time to join the game. I've been ship part hunting like crazy. I also found out something very interesting about this new update. Not only does every part change how your ship inventory and supercharger slots will be set up, but every station will give you a different option. Played with the same ship set up on 4 different stations and each time I got different results. The 4th station I went to I got what i felt was the best results with 3 super charges in a L shape.
I still don't get why people search for connected superslots. So you can supercharge a system and a couple of it's upgrades? I'd rather supercharge multiple different systems. Use one or two superslots for my primary and secondary weapons, one for shields, and one for the takeoff thrusters so I can get more maneuverability.
I play in Custom Creative Mode only, so I just grind Space Stations and Trade Outposts for different ships. Currently searching for all the Hauler wings, especially the gull turbine wings.
You dont need navigation data. just go to a planet with water on it. Get a scanner on your nautilon and scan for crashed ships. Easiest way and totally free
a much better plan would be to go farm dissonant planets for interceptors and then sell them for the money. both take lots of time, but with the money from selling the ships you can not only choose what types of ships you are more likely to see (gek systems are haulers, korvax explorers, etc..) , but also are going to see MANY more ships in the same amount of time. on top of that, each system spawns certain ship parts on their ships, so if you see a ship part you like on a ship in a space station, you can just wait in that space station and another ship with the same parts will eventually come along. it'd take 2-3 times as long to find and claim 1 interceptor as it would to find and claim 1 crashed ship, but you'll make about 30 million units per interceptor you salvage, which buys you several ships. 1 interceptor can easily pay for 4-5 ships, and you have a lot more control over which ship you end up with.
Just another quick tip, if you are going to buy ships to scrap, use a trade outpost instead of space station. You get many more ships coming and going and because of that, you will see a wider variety of classes and types.
Not often I disagree with a Jason take, but if you're looking for specific parts as pretty much everyone is, then space station and planetary trade area ship farming are definitely the best. You're not wrong, but it's not gonna be a great way for someone to build their dream ship imo.
@1000-THR TRUST me, you'll be loaded soon. As you progress it gets easier and easier to make tons of units. Just adding scanner upgrades can be huge for newer players.
@1000-THRput oxygen and chlorine into a medium refiner and see what happens in 30 minutes of chill “grinding” 30m, no 60m, no 100m, no 200m, easy money
I think every autophage camp have autophage that wants you to find and scrap a ship as a mission. Instead of scrapping it for money, scrap it for parts instead. It’s very easy, cause they always have a waypoint to the ship and it’s easy to find the autophage with the specific technology that will find a near autophage camp.
You should add that when you scrap ships, you also get tech mods (that can be used or sold for nanites) and possibly, storage augmentations that can be used to increase the tech or cargo slots in any ship you want to keep. Hunting for crashed ships was always useful for getting money and nanites and more slots (especially in the beginning) but now, it's even more so with the ship parts added.
A Minotaur is one way to find basic crashed ships, another is this. 1. Find dissonant system. 2. Go to dissonant planet 3. Find echo locator This is the most important part 4. Use echo locator to scan for a harmonic site 5. Place a save point (why? Cause you can keep reusing that scanner for every ship found and fixed) 6.keep the ship so you can sell (scrapping it I need to look into cause I forgot, I will edit)
Submarine is the way to go. Not only does it give you a ship every time (no pilot, no freighter), but the ship has a better chance of being rare (I think) than other crashed ships.
@@smexehcougah3Submarine (Nautilon) is definitely the way to go on planets with water, it allows you to specifically search for crashed (drowned) starships. The minotaur is good for land only planets, but they scan for distress signals that can include freighters. Still, both spare you from having to hunt for the nav data needed to buy distress signal maps from the cartographer.
I'm pretty sure the Nautilus submarine has a scan option for crashed ships unless it's changed since I last played. It will restrict you to planets with water but you can scan the same planet multiple times before you get repeat coordinates.
Don't use nav charts... you'll spend FOREVER trying to find one distress signal or tower. Use Nautilon scanner to find drowned ships on water planets... you're welcome.
You could also do ship salvage missions for the autophage assuming you've made contact with them and as a bonus doing the autophage mission's not only grants ship parts your autophage faction standing goes up plus you get void motes. Though I'm almost certain that using the charts is faster i just think my method would work really well if someone was trying to grind for void motes and get ship parts.
If scrapping a ship for units. The more cargo slots the ship has the more units you get for it. I’d recommend fixing what slots you can to get more out of it. Think more open slots might also increase chance of getting an inventory module out of it too.
You can do that! It's a great way to do it if you want a large number of them, just remember the repair the launch thrusters and hyper drive I think it is, so the ship is flyable. If it's not flyable it won't let you summon it to the station.
The better way to do this is to land on water, spawn submarine, locate and fly to ship. No messing around with charts. Though honestly you'll have so much money from selling ships if you see a C class ship with the parts you want you can just buy and scrap it.
see? the ship hunting is more fun now than before now u have the option to keep,scrap or get the parts and getting the parts is not easy because u can only get one part of the ship so if you got the wings you like you still need the cockpit and engine which is random bcs you dont know what ship you will find is also harder now to decide what to do ,maybe you find a very expensive ship but you like parts of that ship so you have to decide
To say each ship costs close to 20-50mill+ in this context is kind of disingenuous. C class is all you need to buy for parts, and even C class haulers only cost line 15mill max? You can basically buy parts for around 5mill if you can find them or just have the patience to sit at a station/outpost
Those charts to find crashed ships is really only useful to make money early on. For finding ship parts it increases the time due to a lower pool of available ships to get the one with the part you want. If you want the fighter Vector with fin wing, first you have to find those showing up in a system and they may only show up at a trade outpost on a planet rather than the station. So once you found the wings you need to use the maps and go from crashed ship to crashed ship and hope the RNG gods doesn't give you nothing but haulers and they give mostly haulers because that's the largest pool of available ships in the system. So hope for the ship you want but take every single one you find, repair it enough to get it to the station and scrap it for money. Then take that money and buy C class versions of the ship you want, most always less than 2 million units. Getting the nanites for the expensive S class reactor is just fighting sentinels and grab the supplies they drop for the ammo atleast.
I find it alot easier to use the Minotuar's scanner and scan for distress signals. Plus if it doesn't find a distress signal and instead gives you a crashed freighter site, just scan until it gives you the distress signal :)
it'd be cool if there were secret ship parts that you could get blueprints for by doing quests or reaching reputation milestones or something, and we could use the scrap from scrapping ships to fabricate them at the ship builder
Good video. Just a note after you claim the ship and fix the engines you can fly your existing ship to the space station instead of the crashed one and then swap summon it in the pad when you get there. It's safer.
You really are the best guy at explaining any craziness in video games. you research the data, you present it so damn well and you answer pretty much all the potential questions anyone would have in the same video. You really are amazing, sir! bravo!!!
I don’t know if anyone needs this but if you want to level up any of the 3 guilds (Merchants, Explorers, and Mercenaries) then go to the new shop and DONATE. Each donation will give you 1 standing. In around an hour I was able to almost fully upgrade the merchants guild. Hope this helps 👍
Actually gonna be very helpful. I already have 3 of the s class cores, said why not and bought one thinking itd be harder to get from missions only to find two missions each giving one… yeah…
Navigation data can also be found on planets from the glowing red cubes on small pillars that you find in large groups, those planets will have tons of those everywhere. A tip he didn't show, if you use the TAG function to highlight the one with the pilot, you don't have to guess if you forgot.
What I would do is to go to the emergency beacon with the pilot but land far enough away that I don't trigger it when I exit. And then place a marker near it so I always know which is the one with the crashed pilot.
The nanite price for a random map is really, really cheap. If you want a ton of charts, it doesnt hurt to check what kind of random map you received. The type of map that you'll be given for the nanites is static per-vendor. If you recieve a distress map when selecting the random option, then that merchant will ALWAYS give you distress maps when you pay nanites. Nav data is free, but the farming can take a while, especially early in the game. The low price of 90 nanites will net you 6 maps.
You don't need to fly to the space station in the new ship. Just walk back to your old ship after claiming the new one. Get in and fly to the station. Providing you fixed the cockpit and landing gear; you can just call any of your ships and they will be there. Saves time and effort fixing all the stuff and flying around in junk ships.
Quick note. You don't need to fly it to the space station. You can fly in your normal ship and once landed on the station, use the summoning feature to swap out your current ship.
Once you have a marker for a ship with a pilot, go to a different planet and activate the charts inside the atmosphere and it will only mark abandoned ships on the planet you're on. Quicker than doing it from space and having to fly to different planets.
I remember seeing a video about a year or two ago showing how to scrap a crashed ship without fixing any part of it. It had something to do with claiming the ship, then getting back into your first ship & either flying or teleporting to your freighter, which somehow makes the crashed ship able to fly. I'm not sure if it still works, though.
Instead of manually looking at the "bad" distress beacon every time you use a new map, just mark the bad one as your destination target and keep it marked. Then when you use a new map just go to the distress beacon that is not your highlighted destination marker.
Just buy and scrap every single ship that comes in for an hour or three and you'll have 200 million, as the scrap is generally worth much more than the cost of the ship. I now wait for B class or better, as you buy them for more, of course, but their scrap is also worth much more and you accumulate $ more quickly. And also, when you look for components you want, like a really cool cockpit, wait until you get one with your preferred cockpit, level C. Spend 1 million or less on that cockpit. You also do not need to fly the claimed ship to the space station. You can go there in your main ship and just call the claimed one there, as long as you fixed the engines.
while this can be seen as an exploit you can get the parts needed to fly the crashed ship repaired without resources if you go to the anomaly with your main ship and switch ships after landing it will automatically fix the landing and pulse drive. it has to be in the anomaly it wont work in space stations. to be fair the resources are cheap so its not really saving much time. depending on the system it can be faster to use the anomaly to warp to the station they removed a lot of the warp load time in the same system. (at least on xbox)
Even easier: Go to a space station and while waiting for a ship you want a part from... buy all the other ships that come in and scrap them for money. You make roughly double for every ship you buy when scrapping it. Additionally you get upgrades and ship storage augmentations for free. You win all around and when you take parts out of some of the ships you won't even notice the money drop. Do this for a few yours and you are rich!
You can also temporarily turn on Free crafting from the difficulty settings, craft a ton of Warp Hypercores, and sell them for millions to just buy the starships and save a bunch of time
Im new to NMS but i accidentally figured out that if u claim a crashed ship, dont repair it. Go to your base, teleport to the spacestation, then back to ur base, the use X or doen on d pad to call in the crashed ship. Then go back to space station and the crashed ship is selected when you go to customization module
really wish I would have known this back in the early days of ship hunting, so much time lost by not having all beacons up at the same time to keep getting just the one you are looking for.
I tried this method last night but i did a mistake...instead of using all the carts before go to the signals, i did it one by one... So no abandoned ship showed to me. You must use all the carts before do ship hunting. Ill try it again tonight. Thanks Jason!
@@rosstjeerdsma9333 Excellent question. I repaired the couple of ships I claimed earlier. Was actually about to hop on in a little bit and try it without repairing.
@@rosstjeerdsma9333 Claim it, dont repair anything. Get back in your main starship go to your freighter, choose broken ship in freighter and use the teleport in your freighter to any station and break it. It was like this before this update and still is, never repaired a ship below s level.
I'm fairly new to the game (even though I did play it at launch, briefly). I was wondering what benefit you get from helping the stranded pilot waiting at the crash site? I'm guessing improved standing with whatever race he is....
From what I heard can't get parts from sentinel ships, so don't do this in corrupted systems. I will test this when update drops for me to confirm this.
Given the customization of starships also represents different races, I predict that since the trailer clearly showed shuttles as an option, although not included, that we'll get it in the future and it will represent the Autophage race. Think about it, a race introduced later made up of random scrapped robotic parts. Writing on the wall to me folks 😉
instead of flying the claimed ship back to he space station to scrap. Simply leave it after you claim it, go back to the space station in your normal ship, and swap ships to your newly claimed.
Also for anyone wondering if you guys get your hands on starship ai valves and sell stacks of 50 you’ll get 600 million units. For anyone who doesn’t know.
You don't have to repair the ships! Take your regular ship and fly into the anomaly, and then change your docked ship! Does not repair the shields but you can just teleport to a space station, or switch back to your regular ship
So there's no way to claim a broken ship, and scrap it "without" fixing the engine and launch thrusters? I seem to remember an exploit in an earlier version. I guess they've patched that one?
This video was super informative, thank you! random question but I have a damaged ship and I got it to the space station and wanted parts from it, but the option to break into parts is greyed out. What do I do do get parts like wings etc from it?
Don't fix it, 1. claim it. 2. recall your working ship. 3. go to the anomaly 4. switch ship to the broken one. 5. use anomaly portal to a space station 6. scrap/part out the ship. Yes this still works I did it yesterday. edit: Sorry to the creator I learned this from for not giving you credit, I can't remember you channel.
Hey I have a question, whenever I try to go into the anomaly it dose the normal animation when going into it but my ship will freeze and wont go past the light until i spawn the anomaly again but sometimes i have to completely reload a save to get unstuck, this happens pretty much every time I try to enter the anomaly and idk why
I'm at an empass because I spent 3 hours hunting down my S class fighter that I would most likely have built anyway. What we wanted is current ships, as is current character customization. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE THIS! Buuuut. Not quite the checkmark. Good step in the right direction. HELLO GAMES... I have money. Charge something small, don't get the gamer pitchforks out.
Couldnt you effectively fire off the 5 til you get the two ship signals, go down to the salvagable ship, drop your own beacon and then fly up and fire off another one and farm a stockpile by rinse/repeat?
Don’t even have to repair the ships if you collect a bunch then hop systems and summon them In the anomaly or a station. Also, shuttles cannot be used for parts, just fyi
This isn't just a good way to farm ship parts salvaged trade loot can also be lucrative not to mention the free ship inventory upgrades you get. I've had damaged lower tier Sentinel ship with a shed tonne of broken modules/slots with a current value of 26 million credits, when I salvaged it I got about 70 million worth of trading loot.

Though I'm almost certain that using the charts is faster i just think my method would work really well if someone was trying to grind for void motes and get ship parts.
If scrapping a ship for units. The more cargo slots the ship has the more units you get for it. I’d recommend fixing what slots you can to get more out of it.
Think more open slots might also increase chance of getting an inventory module out of it too.
Why not collect crashed ships until you're at capacity, fly to the station, and summon all the crashed ships to the station?
You can do that! It's a great way to do it if you want a large number of them, just remember the repair the launch thrusters and hyper drive I think it is, so the ship is flyable. If it's not flyable it won't let you summon it to the station.
The better way to do this is to land on water, spawn submarine, locate and fly to ship. No messing around with charts.
Though honestly you'll have so much money from selling ships if you see a C class ship with the parts you want you can just buy and scrap it.
see? the ship hunting is more fun now than before
now u have the option to keep,scrap or get the parts
and getting the parts is not easy because u can only get one part of the ship so if you got the wings you like you still need the cockpit and engine which is random bcs you dont know what ship you will find
is also harder now to decide what to do ,maybe you find a very expensive ship but you like parts of that ship so you have to decide
To say each ship costs close to 20-50mill+ in this context is kind of disingenuous. C class is all you need to buy for parts, and even C class haulers only cost line 15mill max? You can basically buy parts for around 5mill if you can find them or just have the patience to sit at a station/outpost
Those charts to find crashed ships is really only useful to make money early on. For finding ship parts it increases the time due to a lower pool of available ships to get the one with the part you want. If you want the fighter Vector with fin wing, first you have to find those showing up in a system and they may only show up at a trade outpost on a planet rather than the station. So once you found the wings you need to use the maps and go from crashed ship to crashed ship and hope the RNG gods doesn't give you nothing but haulers and they give mostly haulers because that's the largest pool of available ships in the system. So hope for the ship you want but take every single one you find, repair it enough to get it to the station and scrap it for money.
Then take that money and buy C class versions of the ship you want, most always less than 2 million units. Getting the nanites for the expensive S class reactor is just fighting sentinels and grab the supplies they drop for the ammo atleast.
Thanks for this. I had been using distress signal charts but didn’t realize you can optimize the results like this.
I find it alot easier to use the Minotuar's scanner and scan for distress signals. Plus if it doesn't find a distress signal and instead gives you a crashed freighter site, just scan until it gives you the distress signal :)
it'd be cool if there were secret ship parts that you could get blueprints for by doing quests or reaching reputation milestones or something, and we could use the scrap from scrapping ships to fabricate them at the ship builder
Good video. Just a note after you claim the ship and fix the engines you can fly your existing ship to the space station instead of the crashed one and then swap summon it in the pad when you get there. It's safer.
You really are the best guy at explaining any craziness in video games. you research the data, you present it so damn well and you answer pretty much all the potential questions anyone would have in the same video. You really are amazing, sir! bravo!!!
I don’t know if anyone needs this but if you want to level up any of the 3 guilds (Merchants, Explorers, and Mercenaries) then go to the new shop and DONATE. Each donation will give you 1 standing. In around an hour I was able to almost fully upgrade the merchants guild. Hope this helps 👍
Actually gonna be very helpful. I already have 3 of the s class cores, said why not and bought one thinking itd be harder to get from missions only to find two missions each giving one… yeah…
Very informative exactly what I was looking for, and thank god I found someone who can explain things with clarity for us noobs so thanks for that! 😁
Dont forget Barrel fabricators (base décoration) they randomly give u charts
Great video Jason. Every time I watch one of your videos I have an "I never knew that" moment.
Navigation data can also be found on planets from the glowing red cubes on small pillars that you find in large groups, those planets will have tons of those everywhere.
A tip he didn't show, if you use the TAG function to highlight the one with the pilot, you don't have to guess if you forgot.
Finally some good explanation of this mechanic. Thanks dude!
Tks for the video, It help me alot. I found out an abandon Hauler and claimed it, but I could find back my started ship. Tks again
What I would do is to go to the emergency beacon with the pilot but land far enough away that I don't trigger it when I exit. And then place a marker near it so I always know which is the one with the crashed pilot.
The nanite price for a random map is really, really cheap. If you want a ton of charts, it doesnt hurt to check what kind of random map you received. The type of map that you'll be given for the nanites is static per-vendor.
If you recieve a distress map when selecting the random option, then that merchant will ALWAYS give you distress maps when you pay nanites.
Nav data is free, but the farming can take a while, especially early in the game. The low price of 90 nanites will net you 6 maps.
Works a treat. I went from 1 ship to 5 and about 10 million with scraping in about 2hrs.
You don't need to fly to the space station in the new ship. Just walk back to your old ship after claiming the new one. Get in and fly to the station. Providing you fixed the cockpit and landing gear; you can just call any of your ships and they will be there. Saves time and effort fixing all the stuff and flying around in junk ships.
Quick note. You don't need to fly it to the space station. You can fly in your normal ship and once landed on the station, use the summoning feature to swap out your current ship.
Last video I saw of yours you had over 150 mil. Something tells me that you learned this the hard way…
Once you have a marker for a ship with a pilot, go to a different planet and activate the charts inside the atmosphere and it will only mark abandoned ships on the planet you're on. Quicker than doing it from space and having to fly to different planets.
I remember seeing a video about a year or two ago showing how to scrap a crashed ship without fixing any part of it.
It had something to do with claiming the ship, then getting back into your first ship & either flying or teleporting to your freighter, which somehow makes the crashed ship able to fly. I'm not sure if it still works, though.
Oh man! Thank you so much. This is gonna help me a lot.
Instead of manually looking at the "bad" distress beacon every time you use a new map, just mark the bad one as your destination target and keep it marked. Then when you use a new map just go to the distress beacon that is not your highlighted destination marker.
Just buy and scrap every single ship that comes in for an hour or three and you'll have 200 million, as the scrap is generally worth much more than the cost of the ship. I now wait for B class or better, as you buy them for more, of course, but their scrap is also worth much more and you accumulate $ more quickly. And also, when you look for components you want, like a really cool cockpit, wait until you get one with your preferred cockpit, level C. Spend 1 million or less on that cockpit. You also do not need to fly the claimed ship to the space station. You can go there in your main ship and just call the claimed one there, as long as you fixed the engines.
while this can be seen as an exploit you can get the parts needed to fly the crashed ship repaired without resources if you go to the anomaly with your main ship and switch ships after landing it will automatically fix the landing and pulse drive. it has to be in the anomaly it wont work in space stations. to be fair the resources are cheap so its not really saving much time. depending on the system it can be faster to use the anomaly to warp to the station they removed a lot of the warp load time in the same system. (at least on xbox)
Even easier: Go to a space station and while waiting for a ship you want a part from... buy all the other ships that come in and scrap them for money. You make roughly double for every ship you buy when scrapping it. Additionally you get upgrades and ship storage augmentations for free. You win all around and when you take parts out of some of the ships you won't even notice the money drop. Do this for a few yours and you are rich!
You can also temporarily turn on Free crafting from the difficulty settings, craft a ton of Warp Hypercores, and sell them for millions to just buy the starships and save a bunch of time
Really enjoy the tips to get resources. Thanks
I use the little submarine crashed ship every try.
Im new to NMS but i accidentally figured out that if u claim a crashed ship, dont repair it. Go to your base, teleport to the spacestation, then back to ur base, the use X or doen on d pad to call in the crashed ship. Then go back to space station and the crashed ship is selected when you go to customization module
really wish I would have known this back in the early days of ship hunting, so much time lost by not having all beacons up at the same time to keep getting just the one you are looking for.
I tried this method last night but i did a mistake...instead of using all the carts before go to the signals, i did it one by one... So no abandoned ship showed to me. You must use all the carts before do ship hunting. Ill try it again tonight. Thanks Jason!
Bookmarking this for later use. Thank you.
FYI, you can summon the claimed ship at the station now too. No need to fly it back.
Do you have to repair it 1st or not?
@@rosstjeerdsma9333 Excellent question. I repaired the couple of ships I claimed earlier. Was actually about to hop on in a little bit and try it without repairing.
@@rosstjeerdsma9333 Just tested, and you DO have to make the minimum repairs.
@@rosstjeerdsma9333 Claim it, dont repair anything. Get back in your main starship go to your freighter, choose broken ship in freighter and use the teleport in your freighter to any station and break it. It was like this before this update and still is, never repaired a ship below s level.
I'm fairly new to the game (even though I did play it at launch, briefly). I was wondering what benefit you get from helping the stranded pilot waiting at the crash site? I'm guessing improved standing with whatever race he is....
I like your videos bro it was a good help form me ty .
Why not use the scan ability from your mech.. it allows you to.seqrch for a distress signal for free . The minotaur is the mech I speak of
Why would you fly your wrecked ship to the station? Fly your good ship and swap ships at the station (which you can do now)
From what I heard can't get parts from sentinel ships, so don't do this in corrupted systems. I will test this when update drops for me to confirm this.
Right now only fighters, haulers and explorers are good for parts. Hopefully they open up more models in the future.
You can't get parts from sentinels, exotics, solars, shuttle and ofc living. Tested all, right now only fighters, haulers and explorers.
Only just started playing this weekend. The planet or system effect what type or class spawns?
Given the customization of starships also represents different races, I predict that since the trailer clearly showed shuttles as an option, although not included, that we'll get it in the future and it will represent the Autophage race. Think about it, a race introduced later made up of random scrapped robotic parts. Writing on the wall to me folks 😉
instead of flying the claimed ship back to he space station to scrap. Simply leave it after you claim it, go back to the space station in your normal ship, and swap ships to your newly claimed.
Don't forget that the submarine can just ping for crashed ships.
Also for anyone wondering if you guys get your hands on starship ai valves and sell stacks of 50 you’ll get 600 million units. For anyone who doesn’t know.
Yea but the only legit way to get one is by scrapping a ship worth 50 million or more.
Nice video Jason
Imagine actually being able to play the update 😭
know what you mean i play this from the game pass on my pc and still no update yet even for xbox users
Cries in Nintendo switch
R.I.P
Console Players
🌹
Really disappointed with how long it is taking for xbox. They claim it is released but it's not. Ugh
They are saying next week!? I'll never xbox again...
Uee the sonar on your nautilon or the minator to find crashed ship for absolute free freedom!!
You don't have to repair the ships! Take your regular ship and fly into the anomaly, and then change your docked ship! Does not repair the shields but you can just teleport to a space station, or switch back to your regular ship
Also works with your freighter instead of the anomaly.
So there's no way to claim a broken ship, and scrap it "without" fixing the engine and launch thrusters? I seem to remember an exploit in an earlier version. I guess they've patched that one?
Buy the ship in working condition, scrap it, and get one usable part...
This video was super informative, thank you! random question but I have a damaged ship and I got it to the space station and wanted parts from it, but the option to break into parts is greyed out. What do I do do get parts like wings etc from it?
Still waiting for the xbox update, please Jason help us make pressure to both Microsoft and hello games to be released soon!
I just want them to acknowledge and make an announcement and give an update
They did yesterday, it won't be released until early next week on Xbox and game pass
Are you goddamn kidding me... I'll never xbox again
Don't fix it, 1. claim it. 2. recall your working ship. 3. go to the anomaly 4. switch ship to the broken one. 5. use anomaly portal to a space station 6. scrap/part out the ship. Yes this still works I did it yesterday. edit: Sorry to the creator I learned this from for not giving you credit, I can't remember you channel.
Hey I have a question, whenever I try to go into the anomaly it dose the normal animation when going into it but my ship will freeze and wont go past the light until i spawn the anomaly again but sometimes i have to completely reload a save to get unstuck, this happens pretty much every time I try to enter the anomaly and idk why
I'm at an empass because I spent 3 hours hunting down my S class fighter that I would most likely have built anyway. What we wanted is current ships, as is current character customization. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE THIS! Buuuut. Not quite the checkmark. Good step in the right direction. HELLO GAMES... I have money. Charge something small, don't get the gamer pitchforks out.
Stop asking for micro transactions...smdh
you could also just repair the 2 parts, leave the ship and summon your capital ship near the space station
Can I get parts from the ships I got as rewards for expeditions and Twitch drops? I have several still unclaimed because ships limit.
You can actually go into your settings and set purchases to free. That way you can get every ship you see and scrap away.
There is a annoyed glitch in the abandoned building.. In the building there is a consoles you can check the logs as much as times
Couldnt you effectively fire off the 5 til you get the two ship signals, go down to the salvagable ship, drop your own beacon and then fly up and fire off another one and farm a stockpile by rinse/repeat?
You can just fly back in your good ship and swap ships at the station. Silly to fly back with no shields.
Don’t even have to repair the ships if you collect a bunch then hop systems and summon them
In the anomaly or a station. Also, shuttles cannot be used for parts, just fyi
This isn't just a good way to farm ship parts salvaged trade loot can also be lucrative not to mention the free ship inventory upgrades you get. I've had damaged lower tier Sentinel ship with a shed tonne of broken modules/slots with a current value of 26 million credits, when I salvaged it I got about 70 million worth of trading loot.
Does it matter what class ship you scrap? Are S class parts better than say B class when it comes to parts? For doing a rebuild.
thank you that is useful info!
you don't need to fix the ship, just claim it then fly back with the ship you came with, and at the station swap to the broken ship
Or, you can just change your difficulty settings.
Cant wait to use this for when xbox finally drops the update. when the happens. maybe next year. :(
if you dont care about them you can also scrap the twitch reward ships for parts
I can’t wait till Xbox gets this update next year
When does it actually come out?
@@jamiegunn2259 don’t know still waiting
Love the bobblehead. How do you obtain one of those?
