Derelict Ships, anomalies, Corp Mercenaries oh my!!

[starfaller]

Greetings Dev,

Loving your game!! I have been looking for this type for a long time. Any chance we will see derelict ships, anomalies, or Corp Mecrs.

1. Derelict ships- either we haul it back for salvage or explore using a combat team. Could be nothing, alien life form, or cargo. RNG- one to three chances. If all combat team is killed our ship leaves it alone.
2. Anomalies - Could be anything- alien creature, ghost ship, ancient tech
3. Merc corps- claim certain areas as their own or are looking for a special place or thing. Either help them or they attack you.

What do you think? Keep it up !!

FYI. I'm not talking about high SCI-Fi but more like Alien more mystery than action. More alien animals than alien civs.

There are derelict miners littered around. You have to be paying attention to find them, but they're there. You need the manipulator arm to take them home, but when you grab it, it's yours.

this is prob fastest way to grind mony btw. a salvage gives 250k and up. takes 20-30min to find vs 2hr dive to get same in minerals, (less with drones) if ur gonna try make shure to have maxed astrogator 4500m+range makes it easy to spot derelicts and anomaly`s

I found a red ground based vehicle called 'elons car' floating around 20km in, surely that must be a relic from some ancient and extinct civilisation

Sorry to butt in, but if you need 2 hours to make 250k, you're doing it wrong.

First things first : you need a good geologist. Knowing on the spot what mineral is what (after a while, you can tell most of them by eye, but not their amounts and values) is invaluable. Pick the expensive stuff, leave the rest.

Then, you need a processing plant. Depending on your ship setup, one that have a high mineral efficiency or decent mineral efficiency and remass will be your best choice. It allows for stacking more stuff in one go.

Finally, the way you break stuff matters, as you can lose alot of time chasing fragments if you're imparting them with too much energy. I find my best setup to be one microwave array and one pulse laser, mounted on an Eagle. It also makes for great defense against hostiles.

As you pointed, drones make for much faster work, but even without them, you can make 300k in less than an hour.

I didn't have grabbing hand.

So I just warm derelicts up with microwave laser until it explodes. Then excape pod pops up. And I can get excape pod, witch gains 50k $.

But If salvege coudl be profit of 250k then I should try it...

P.S. Mass driver is bad against derelicts, as it would make them spin. And not sure if it could be exploded this way.
