I'm not quite a newbie to the game (gone around, blown stuff up, got the t-shirt and the Hammerhead) but I still haven't had it for very long and every now and then a question pops up that baffles me. I was hoping someone could help me out.

So I read on Lancers Reactor here about these 'Hidden Wrecks'. I see one particularly enticing one, that being the Flint (New York 6C) which the guide here claims has a cargo of Cardamine. Since Manhattan is willing to pay top dollar for a little pharmaceutically-enduced ecstasy, I thought I would hunt it down and see what I could pull up from it.

So I find the Flint in the badlands, surrounded by Rogues. But while the Flint has a health bar, I blast it to pieces and it doesn't explode...it just slowly regenerates, like a trade lane ring. And it doesn't discharge its delicious cargo, if the Cardamine is even there (since I can't scan the Flint, I have no idea).

My questions are thus: is there some dark secret to gaining the little cargo-gems these Hidden Wrecks carry that is evading me? Or are the wrecks monitored by the server and only cough up their cargo once...ever?

Oh, and I play on an unmodified v1.0 multiplayer server, if that matters.

Any help is appreciated!
