Thanks to Solar, Raven, Maarsh, Machina,Eclipse (hope not to forget someone!) for your great help!:)

See you in Space!

And now a little question: I can't find secret containers, I set exactly pitch and head but I fly a long time and don't find anything... I jump in and out but nothing!
Are they very distant?

Look for a purple bleep on your radar. If you get close enough in radar range you should see this purple tadpole on your radar. Also do you have a Science Ops and Navigator?;)

I'm not sure about the Navigator, but I think he helps a bit when it comes to finding hidden containers. I think also a class five cargo scanner helps for long distance scanning of containers!;)

Welcome aboard Lollo......

I found it easy for me when I received the message for the containers to slow down and then position my ship with the heading and pitch. Once I have done that I would use my afterburners to attain maximum speed then I would turn off my IDS and coast....and I would watch for the purple blip to show up on my radar....the purple blip will show on your radar when you are less then 10,000 away from the containers. When the blip shows on your radar adjust your pitch and heading accordingly ( Turn your IDS back on when adjusting new heading.).....I hope this helps you

This is more or less what I do!
Haven't found purple blip yet.
I'll keep on trying! TKS

Some of the hiddden containers are on planet surfaces, and some are burried under the surface and require you to land on the planet surface!:P

TKS Maars! This is really a good tip you give me!
In fact I'm looking for a container in Sapphire and the direction is to a planet! So I probably have to land in planet, not put the planet behind me!:)

Your Welcome, and good luck. The hidden containers on or under the planet surfaces still some times are hard to find, and it helps to jump in and out of sector at 2 different locations to triangulate the excact location on the Planet!;)

Found my first secret containers!:D
Missiles exodus and starfire in Lost Rucker!
I've tried only two times, saving, exploding (:-)), restoring last save to have new pitch and head from my science ops!
