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?
- 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.

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.

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.

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.
