All wrecks are empty

hmmmm...

weird

The one in Nephele neither

yes i am currently deactivating features day by day to find out of one of them is reason for the problem

Hello,

This morning at about 10:30am (server time) I was in the system Mica Ceti and I found the Rheinland Scout wreck.

The bar of power of the wreck was already in the neighborhood of 50 %.
I did not try to fire at the wreck because I think that it was already empty.

I do not know if it is normal, but I indicate it as possibility of indication in the search for the anomaly of the empty wrecks.

As a rough guide I indicate the presence of two Dom cruisers in the area.
(see printscreen)

I saw NPCs firing at storage depots... making them only have 1 depot from 4...

Maybe NPCs fire at wrecks too now ? After the last changes...

because noone was at Mira Ceti that day to damage that wreck.... and teh crash or restart didn't gave more than 10 hours time.

NPCs spawn only if players are close

oh and NPCs can use tractor beam (ofc)
so one day i was minding my own thing, getting some nem missiles and bang! a npc come out of no were and steals it!
BLAME the NPCs!~Your_uncle
i think wreaks dont drop is .. nevamind

Kill the NPCs lol

but I can't believe, for example the nephele storyline pod could get looted by NPCs and dissapear before people arrive ... as it's qutie hidden...

maybe it's something by dafault, or a setting ? lol

well i dont think its the NPC's as i have never seen a nomad tractor anything ever and i have tried to get the death valley data disk 3 times in 3 days now with no luck but hey i may be wrong but i don't think so

i also dont think that its coz of npcs

Only 13 ?? only lanes ?...

OP, this looks as random drop... else how it could drop only part of it's loot xD

need confirmation

I checked Hokkaido, Hiruga and Sigma-13 wrecks - nothing.

SA_TIMMY reports that the wrecks in Yakutsk are not dropping.

OK, finally I have read this entire thread; I suggest that people concentrate on wrecks that were not character-limited to test for the drop randomizer. From what I remember, the only such wrecks are the Kusari & Rheinland BS wrecks in Oasis & Sea of Shadows, respectively, and the Coalition wrecks in Tomsk & Yakutsk. These wrecks could formerly be looted repeatedly by the same character (after server restarts), and always dropped 84 units of cardamine & 2 pair of Class 10 codename guns each (BS's only), or a single turret (Tomsk), or a pair of missile launchers (Yakutsk).

As far as I can remember, all other wrecks in the game can only be looted once per character, so I suspect that anyone who has attempted to loot wrecks since 1.82 has now lost the ability on those char's to loot the same wreck again. I have purposely refrained from attempting to loot most wrecks with the last couple of characters I created, to make it possible to revisit those wrecks after the problem is found & fixed. Good Hunting, everyone!

Sorry to disprove your theory, CA, but that's a no go. I just tried the wrecks in Yakutsk right after server restart. Still no dice.

Seqan: The point is that if a drop randomizer is active, then there will be a fractional probability of something dropping from one or more of these wrecks at any given time. It may take some time to establish if this is true at all, and if so, what is the ratio of drops to attempts. If a ratio can be established, it may then be correlated to some other known change. I now have characters in place to check 2 of the 3 groups of wrecks available for this test, and will likely put a third on the problem until some conclusion can be drawn one way or the other...
