tried to find that Iguana - so far it's not there - I'm gonna try to install bonus package - maybe that is the deal.

No, that isn't "the deal"--the ships are there in a standard game of X3. Have you installed any scripts or mods that might have moved those ships? One of Cycrow's helpfully moves them around to make them harder to find (for people who don't want their positions handed out on a plate)...there may be others.

no, no scripts - vanilla 2.5 game now with bonus pack.
I have just started it, maybe I just don't have enough flying time - it shows like 0:2:40 flying time. I was at that

0,0,40 position in Family Whi
and no Iguanas without pilots - it would still show on radar, right?

Remember the coordinates listed here are in kilometres, while the game map shows distances in metres--that's caught a few people out.

If people thought it was wasted time, I suspect they wouldn't have done it :D

- There are never 2 Pandora containers in a single sector. If you read a Pandora message about a sector where you've already collected one there won't be another container! You are just unlucky to find the same pandora message twice.
Wrong.

I once had an engine and an rudder tuning in the same sector.

As ARO fleetingly mentioned, you missed one of the best freebies in the game:

A Pirate Nova Raider is offered as one of the Pandora prizes. That and the Express Hauler are the only two ships offered via a Pandora message, as far as I know.

It's random. iirc, there are some specific areas the actual items can spawn, but the BBS messages can be anyplace.

In my last game I got bored of repeatedly getting messages for the same sector and just cheated to find the last couple :oops: .

Pandora only forgot to put a 2-Mio.-Credits-Crate right beside the one of the best freebies in the game, to repair its almost destroyed hull.

All coordinates have been checked by myself, so they cannot be wrong. Really, they can't. ;)

To easily reach a specific location in the sector order your ship to "Move to position" and use the numeric keypad to select the location. Use INS to flip the map; this way you can select the height.
Some of these goodies need the 2.0 update. Be sure to have it. It rocks.

Free ships:

Starburst** ------- Freedoms Reach ---------- at 1, 36, 43 (straight above the gate)
** Doesn't seem to be there at the start of the game. I think I already had done the story line after I found it. ukdj78 lets me know that it was there after he won the race. (Perhaps one of the racers gave up and bailed ship? ^_^ )
It is there quite early - I just got it and I only have 1:00:17 on flying clock. I haven't done any plot, besides the very beginning shooting bit.
Vanilla 2.5 game.

Thanks a lot for the effort!!!

What numeric values are you talking about, exactly? If you mean coordinates, you only see those on the sector map, not on the screen while you're just flying around.
