found a wreck - what next? *spoilers*

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!

found a wreck - what next? *spoilers*

okay I'm in the bar and buy info on a wrecked ship for 22k and when I get there I target the ship and try and hail it, scan it, dock with it. Nothing doing, so I shoot at it and it looks like that caused some cargo to jettison. Am I doing this right?

I paid 22k in the bar and picked up:

10 lux goods sold @ 1260 = 12,600
9 Niobium @ 320 = 2,880
6 starbeam turrets @ 135 = 810

paid 22k, got back 16,290

this ship still shows on my nav map. Not sure if some of the above goods was due to the couple of enemy ships that jumped me when I got there?

yep there are plenty of wrecks, this however, is a spoiler and will be moved to the "Spoiler" forum shortly. Any future spopiler, please post them htere.

okay, gotcha. But do I just shoot at them? Can I go back later? Will I always make a loss on the deal or is there a random element?

TIA

Shoot once and lightly to free the cargo. Shooting more destroys the cargo. In SP game only one time in MP, will be back when server resets.

That's not exactly right. While the wreck will reset after a server reboot in MP, the wreck will not be lootable for that player again unless they create a new character. The exception to this rule is the wrecks in Omicron Beta which are lootable each time the server resets. These are the only wrecks I've found in the game that are lootable multiple times by the same player character.
