Hidden containers don\'t disappear

Post by zijulo »

Hi ! I found hidden containers, but they don't disappear after I recover them. One of them contains a weapon that cost 400000 credits that I can recover and sell indefinitely. Of course, in singleplayer mode I just have to ignore it if I don't want to cheat, but I suppose it can make cheating problems in multiplayer mode.

Are containers not randomly generated ? Because this one was easy to find.

:cool: The containers in question are part of the quest. If you start giving out the coordinates, willy-nilly, doing the quest becomes moot. If you found them accidently, that's okay ... shows you have either very good luck or very good navigational skills.

Hidden containers aren't actually that hard to find with a skilled science officer on board. You can even triangulate their coordinates with a little bit of trigonometry. I made up a spreadsheet that allows you to do so easily, look for it at the bottom of the first post.

I found another one with mines (800 000 credits each one). Doesn't it to easy to make money in this game ? I played only some hours and I already have a well upgrated Mammoth ship and 15.000.000 credits. Now, trading, mining and accepting contracts do not bring me anything in comparison with containers recovery. I just began the game so I suppose that trading will be more lucrative later, and missions too when my rank will increase.

15 m isn't much. Many of us veterans can make twice that much in one short cargo run, so don't give up on trading yet :cool:
