Missing wrecks

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Missing wrecks

On 2 occasions recently, when looking for certain wrecks, in a certain system,
I go to their location, the red X's show up on the map, and their I.D. bracket shows on the screen, indicating they are un-damaged, but they are not visible!
The target cursor shows up, but no amount of shooting affects the invisible wreck! This happens to be a group of 3 fighters. Another wreck, in the same system, (of a freighter), is perfectly normal. Has anyone run in to this?
Wrecks I've found in other systems seem to be normal. BTW, this is the second server I have had this occur on.

I believe you are talking about Patrol 27 in the New York System, so it was probably looted before you. Sometimes, wrecks explode when you destroy them, so it may be that they still have to be present, but not really there according to the looting part of it. I'm not sure if this is a bug or the way it's supposed to happen, but I am almost certain, if you went to look for them in a single player game they would be there.

Since this is the spoiler forum, it was the 3 Kusari naval fighters, in Hokkaido. The James Morrell wreck in that system was intact, yeilding the gate/lane parts.
I got on early today, and got all 5 wrecks in NY system, plus the Balboa. I went to Hokkaido pretty early, but yes, gun collectors could have got there first. Donno.

Sorry, 3 Patrol 27, the Aggressor, and the Flint; 3 wreck sites, 5 wrecks.

For unknown reasons, my game had become corrupted, the only known effect being the 3 invisible wrecks in Hokkaido. The red X's would show on the map, I could select them & fly to them, but they could not be seen, (although my ship would bump into "something"! Shooting them had no effect. Uninstalled, reinstalled, went to Browclopsia, and sure enough, the wrecks were there!
Of course they had already been had, but at least I'm back in business.
