Hello everyone, I was using my pulse engine to get to my freighter when I got a message, that something was happening nearby and I should cancel my pulse drive if i wanted to see it. I did so, and there was a massive derelict freighter in space in front of me, floating around. There was a red icon, i’m not sure which one specifically, so I headed towards it. But then I got hit by a hostile scan by space pirates, and right before I got to the red icon, the wreck completely disappeared.
I tried to do some online research to see what this was, but not coming up with anything. Does anyone know?
Seems to be an issue happening every once in a while. Currently you can’t do anything with derelict freighters other than look at them, so it’s not that big of an issue. You’ll find another one.

Hopefully we will be able to get some action with those freighters with a future update. I can imagine all kinds of cool things they could do with them.
Yes the wrecked freighters have the same issue that regular freighters had for a while. They vanish as you approach them. Does not happen all of the time though.
True, though I’ve encountered two types so far. Most I’ve seen are purely scenery, no interactivity. One, however, was much more like the planetary crashed freighters. I could blow up a bunch of those damaged panels with my fighter, and could see the cargo containers inside. Too bad I couldn’t land anywhere and spacewalk over to them to see what goodies they contained!
It seems like these wreck freighters are all I get now when traveling around. In fact, all my systems have been dead, abandoned, or just plain lifeless. I must be in a dead part of the galaxy. It’s kinda scary when you get 3 or more of these things in one system, see there is no dominant life, and the stations are abandoned…
And being in creative for all these pictures, I wasn’t attacked by pirates, so that just added to the eeriness.
It was one of my wishlist items to find derelict freighters in space.
Wish granted says HG.
Now I see them for myself, there is something quite sad about them, drifting broken & silent through the darkness.
Be careful what you wish for I guess.
That mysterious half-freighter is particularly sombering.
