There are actually tricks that make it easier for gamers to finding crashed ships. These crashed ships are good resources to upgrade inventory slots. Locating these crashed ships may be difficult at first, but there are simple methods on how this can be done.
According to Shack News, the gamer has to fly over the planet's surface upon reaching it. Then using the ship's built-in Scanner, the ground has to be scanned. The scanner will help in locating the outposts and points of interest on the ground. A question mark will appear on these areas. The gamer has to fly to these markers and it is needed that an orange beam that shoots into the sky will be seen. The orange beams are Signal Scanners. A Bypass Chip that is crafted out of Plutonium 10 and 10 Iron is needed to hack these Signal Scanners.
After the hacking of the Signal Scanner, four options will come out. These are Monolith, Colonial Outpost, Transmission, and Shelter. It is a must to choose Transmission, since it will point to the closest Transmission Towers that can locate a ship's distress signals. There are also times that the gamer may be pointed to Observatories or Beacons, however only Transmission Towers can point towards those crashed ships. It is important that once a Transmission Tower has already been located, the player has to fly immediately into it. Once the equation is solved, the terminal will pinpoint a Distress Signal. This will then lead to crashed starships. Some of these may still be repairable, while there are others that are beyond fixing.
According to VG247, these crashed ships can help the gamers upgrade their ship inventory space without any cost. There are also resources which are imperative to the improvement of a gamer's ship. The ship can be claimed; its parts can be torn down, and can be reclaimed without spending anything. A gamer just has to complete this process in order to obtain a 48 slot ship.
