Abandoned/Derelict ships and locations

[mcal9909]

I'm sure the Cerberus doesn't normally spawn either. I went through a brand-new game start save and it isn't there.

The Cerberus seems to appear During the plot mission. After you built the dock on the PHQ but before you go help the Boron escape. The Boron does say in the mission brief to use a ship with some fighting capacity so i assume this ship is placed there for you to use in the mission as its right next to the mission marker?

I have all my trader ships setup to tell me if they find an Abandoned ship. Asoon as i had started the escape mission one of them pinged me telling me they had found an abandoned Cerberus. It happned to be where this one is found in OP's post.

The spawns during that mission can get pretty crazy:

The Unworthy Entrepreneur start an Osprey Vanguard was in Hewas Twin III near the location you start escorting the freighter for the HQ mission.

[Konradius]

This is why I always put 1-3 marines in all my ships. General orders state they cap them completely autonomously.

I found the Manorina (Gas) Sentinel in Hewa's Twin V near the top North and to the West.

Btw. is there a way to change the default behavior for that? Would be nice to not to be forced to change that option on every ship I own.

minotaur centinel in memorial antigone

[whitemonkey]

so where in ANT did you find it?

Question, how do you clear the mines around a ship? Can't seem to target them.

shot at center

Quick question. Im trying to claim the Odysseus Vanguard with damaging it. I have taken the shields down to )% and hit claim and my boarding pod just flies around it. What do I need to do?

Thanks

[whitemonkey]

without damaging it....

I got mine intact by using an EMP bomb on my spacesuit. And I don't think you have to take the shields down to board in X4, at least not for that Odysseus, I never did and I did it a few times. If you use the spacesuit EMP bomb, you just repair the data leaks and it's yours, no boarding and comes with equipment intact.

How do I get an EMP bomb?

How do I get an EMP bomb?

You make it at the crafting table if you have the 3 components.

[whitemonkey]

Does the EMP bomb destroy the mods? I was able to claim the Odysseus with the boarding pod when the shields were down. But it destroys the mods on board. turrets and shield gens and so on.

I bought mine somewhere.

I started afresh with 1.3, and chose the Explorer start rather than the young gun. In this second start NONE of the derelicts have been present so far, but I've not been to every location yet. However, I always see a derelict spawn whenever I go to get a "rank up" with a faction. Quite literally, I dock at the station, get my rank up, leave and a new derelict has spawned near by - usually very close to the station.

So, far, I've gotten a Frigate, Corvette, M-Class Container ship and an M-Class Gas Miner. These were for hitting level 10 standing. I wonder if I'll get something bigger at level 20?

Just found a Cerberus Sentinel in Antigone Memorial, about 318 km "SSW" from the gate. In my game it was just past the equipment dock where the representative is.

So, all derelicts have the "not" logo?

so where in ANT did you find it?

Question, how do you clear the mines around a ship? Can't seem to target them.

You have to just shoot at it, best to have a ship with a center weapon, not offset, so you can more easily land the shot when the mine is dead center of your main reticle. I had a Pegasus, so I had no choice in this case.

I've ranked up once or twice with many of the factions (ANT +17, ARG +21, GOP +16, HAT +14, HOP +22, TEL +21)... and I've only found the one Cerberus in ANT Mem since then. Prior to my trading/ranking up ventures (no, not the ventures that's supposed to be part of the game), I found a few derelicts (Perseus in Silent Witness XII, Odysseus in Faulty Logic VII and my other Cerberus Sentinel during the "plot" mission)

For me none of the ships in the original posts were at the locations shown, but I've found several ships in other areas (about 10 different ships in my 32h).
