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!

Tau 23 const site *pirate/raiding*

There seems to be some sort of pattern as to what kind of cargo a freighter has under certain conditions.
Sometimes I could sit and wait for hours and not freighter one has any decent cargo. Then at other times, there are too many for me to raid. Does anyone know of a pattern? Or maybe a way to reset or start the process?
I have discovered that shooting the storage bins first will give a better yeild.
At Tau 23 const. site, there are containers that can be exploited. Afterward, a whole ring of freighters come in with decent cargo.
Has anyone noticed this? And are there other containers located elsewhere?

Welcome to the forums etc (someone else do this, I'm no good). From my experience, the cargo of transports is completely random, but in your game it may not be. Or it could be a coinsidence, who knows ? (apart from DA)

Agreed, cargo is totally random, at least in my experience. However, I have had some lucky breaks. (like a shipment of diamonds outside new tokyo!

What they carry and the trade routes are not random...but I believe the occurance is. I don't know if they use standard randoms or a randomize timer or sumthin...

Ryan100, no-one likes spamers, and openly spamming on these forums will only get you suspended by the mods, or worse.
