Hidden Wrecks

Hi all! Just wondering about the hidden wrecks around in the multiplayer universe. Are they accessable? Can you get weapons and the like from them? I have looked at the list and wanted to find all of them. But if you dont get anything out of them then it isnt worth it. Please let me know.

Thanks Dave

The wrecks in MP work the same as in SP except that others may get to them first. Each character can loot a wreck once, but you may have to make more than one visit if the wreck is empty the first time. After a server reboot all the wrecks have loot.

Yes but how exactly do you get the stuff? It isnt like we can tow it to the nearest station to reap the benefits.

Thanks by the way for answering so quickly

You shoot it once, then tractor in the loot.

Keep in mind that once a player emties a wreck other players won't get anything out of it. If you want to "refresh" the wrecks simply stop the server and then start it again.

and some wrecks actually remove it's loot. Paralyzer launcher is a prime example. Missing from a wreck in the sigma systems cause pieces of the ship are destroyed. Hope someone made a server side fix for this.

One thing to note, once you've looted a wreck, I don't think it's possible to loot it again with the same character.

Yes, it is. Just loot it after the server reboots again. I've done that dozens of times. I had a character stashed in Sigma 13 just for those Diamondbacks. Looted them several times with the same character. I had approx 16 Diamondback in my cargo. (Untill I accidently flew into the gaspockets without realising it and BOOM, *sigh*)

You will lose any unmounted equipement/cargo when you die, except Nanobots and Shieldbatteries
