Me and my father are both playing x4 and so far we have found unsalted claimable ships but the locations were not the same we think the spaces are random

The default ones are not random. Its possible some AI might abandon their ship during AI on AI combat but I have no confirmation that is possible right now.

there are missions that ask you to recover ships or clear them from mines.
as soon as the mission generated the ship is spawned somewhere on the map.
if you find it before you accept the mission it'll be claimable.
if you accept the mission find the ship and abort the mission it will still have a pilot in it and therefore unclaimable the easy way.
you could potentially savescum it if you save before accepting the mission, accept, check for the ships location, reload and get the ship. i haven't tested this one though.

I sold it, 'cause it's bugged, could'nt recruit better captain and by promoting marine/engineer, also turrets were not shooting to enemies. Sod it, better off with money for now.

I looked for the disabled Cerberus ship I keep reading about in Argon Prime but I’ve had no luck. Spent more time flying blind than actually playing lol. What is the secret to finding them? How do they show with long range scan?

Even my "captain" couldn't attack anything not only when I was piloting it. Is the licence needed for my npcs too then?

Found 2 Osprey's in one sector, easy money :)
And wrecked station, for profitsss.

really? i think thats just to buy them... maybe im wrong, but i dont think i am.

[Pferdinand]

really

[Asarlai]

I thought it was to buy them as well. Considering so far nothing I've captured or claimed with turrets actually shoots, (Including haulers which shouldn't need a license), I'm leaning towards that.

Now knowing that I could have sold the destroyer where it sat would have been helpful. It took me two hours to get that ship out of the system. (Including twenty minutes just inside of the gate out, waiting for the repair drones to fix the engines.)
