I got an S Class Dreadnought finally! Im so happy for this vid, it'll help out a lot😭
I have had great success gathering FMs and CBs from different guilds while aboard the space stations.
Maxing out your standing with each guild is very beneficial. The rewards are great! 👍
Systems have specific derelict, which give specific grades of upgrades at the end. You can also use a trick to not consume your emergency signal scnner by activating it, putting it in your personal refiner, then pulse jump to find the derelict. Go in as normal until you use the computer to open the door, once the door opens, take the scanner out of the personal refiner.
You want to find a system that has an S class upgrade as the reward at the end guaranteed, and keep reusing the derelict scanner
When you put the emergency scanner in the personal refinery after activation before you enter the wrecked freighter it will not be consumed and you can use it again and again 😉
I used to work hard to beat the freighter befor it destroyed the civilian ships, now I know why I was not getting S class modules. Thanks. PS I kill the engines then only take out the shield generators They always give up after that.
Exocraft with upgrades can scan for crashed freighters, the "cars" you need the upgrades to the scanners, while the Minotaur and the Nautilus both only require the 1 scanner. Though it does necessitate to land on planets.
Sending frigates out to do missions can net you fleet salvage modules, and nexus missions and station missions often reward them.
When digging for cargo stuff you can increase or decrease the size of the hole, in this case maximum size helps speed things up.
I suggest docking at an outlaw station and picking the missions for attacking merchants if you are gonna try and get loot from them, 2 birds 1 stone.
Overall this is a really good video, wasn't aware of the Pirate Cruiser method for the salvage stuff. 👍
If you attack freighters in pirate systems you don't lose standing.
Excellent! Been wondering how to get more upgrades for my freighter. Thank!
Several YouTube have variations of your guide, this is what I now understand.
1. If your in game for 3hrs, and have jumped 5 times from systems, your 5 jump will spawn a freighter battle.
2. During this 5th jump if you jump to Pirate system, it will spawn Pirate freighter battle. If not looking to upgrade to S-class Pirate freighter, let it kill civilian freighter, then disable engines and guns, gives you S-class freighter tech, then land in freighter talk to captain to get $6.7 million.
3. If farming Pirate freighter battles, then jump to next Pirate controlled systems till another battle spawns.
4.If farming freighter tech, then jump to 3 star systems and kill all large freighters in area for S-class freighter tech.
Donating the crew manifest and captain's logs gives you race standing, not guild standing.
I didn't know where you place your upgrades affected stats…learn something new.
I've destroyed several freighters but never gotten upgrades. I always do it in pirate systems, would that prevent it?
You do not need to go to a pirate system to get the modules if you go to a regular star system any system you can get the modules by destroying any of those ships. If it's a pirate system you're not going to get squat.
Idk why people say pirate freighters. I have yet to get one to drop. All of my upgrades have dropped from regular freighters in non pirate systems at a 100% drop rate.
Do you by chance know your portal coordinates for the ship you have and if so, care to share?
i think it's still a bug, that you get those S-class freighter upgrades at all after the civillian freighter is destroyed. That does not make any sense and does not feel as a reward at all. It's much too easy to get those once you know how this works. It also does not make any sense that you can demand a tribute and then also being able to destroy the freighter for more units. The whole dreadnought freighter battle system is kind of messed up in my opinion. It also makes salvaging a derelict freighter kind of pointless.
Thanks for the video, I am a long time player, and never noticed that you can sometimes get freighter upgrades on crashed freighters
All you have to do to capture the pirate freighter is take out the warp engines like you did, and then go through the two trenches and destroy those round things and the rods that come up. They will surrender when you take out the last rod. You don’t have to destroy any of the guns
What sentinel ship is that and where did you get it
Ummmmmm… You can simply shoot any freighter in any system and get S class Upgrade Modules within seconds. Why is anyone wasting time on the freighter wrecks?
I’ve destroyed many dozens of freighters in every type of system and have never gotten an upgrade module.
Strange, when I check cargo pods from crashed freighter, the only thing I get is slime, nothing else.
That's the coolest sentinel ship I've ever seen. I thought mine looking like a combiner from transformers was cool. I wish they talked.
Thank you for all the 411. I really did wonder how to get better mods for my freighter. Cheers!
