@@StevenKelley I could claim the ship after using 55k on a trade with it

[@gristlegizzard2510]

You do not have to repair ANY crashed ship modules. Claim the ship and next time you find yourself in the freighter, it'll show up there. Build a teleporter in your freighter. Before you teleport to a space station, make sure the broken ship is your active primary ship. When you teleport to the space station, the broken ship will be there. Now, you can scrap or trade the ship without repairing any modules. May not help this glitch, but it's still helpful to know.

[@mr.p215]

The best part is that for some reason after scrapping a ship it always picks the broken ones first, you can collect multiple ships and sell them at once.

@Higher Consciousness Not sure. I haven't played in a while. You can try it and see, just make sure you do a manual save before trading your good ship. That way you can roll back if it doesn't work anymore.

[@christopherangel879]

I just started playing about a month ago and found this glitch by myself. I also found that you can copy the broken ship also. After I got rich I stopped doing the glitch. I never tried after the update so I hope it works. Im gonna start a new game and see.

[@Grinchstallion]

So as of a couple days ago (March 29th 2021) this glitch has changed a little bit. The Glitch in original form gave you the scrap value of your ship (in units) up front in addition to the scrap components that you could then turn around and sell for even more units. What has changed now is that you do NOT get units when scrapping, you just get the components. HOWEVER, the market value of the scrapped components has majorly changed. It is now on a sliding scale that changes according to the scrap value of the ship. So for example, if you look at a component called "compressed indium scraps", you will see different amounts of value (according to the scrap value of the ship) when you sell the component in the exchange. If you sell all the pieces you scrapped you will have roughly the same amount of units that you used to get "up front". So you don't get quite the same number of units you used to and you have to manage your units a little more carefully when purchasing (if you aren't a billionaire by now). This also forces you to not hold on to components and elements you receive just to keep them for later. So it's a little harder, but still makes money once you get the ball rolling.

[@saulamr]

Did this today and it definitely works on xbox. EDIT: A couple pointers: I could fix all but one thing in the ship, making it more valuable and this allowing me to get better ships at 0 trade. If all you want is mining nanites, you can buy A and S class ships with units, it doesn't break the glitch You can save your progress in the space station by going in the "crashed ship", in case you're grinding the glitch for long periods of time and you're afraid of disconnection or crash.

[@crankymammal9999]

So, I’ve been testing this and if you want to make your crashed ship worth more, you can fix only the storage slots and technology slots to boost the worth. This does not affect the glitch at all. I found a crashed hauler and fixed it up to 90% and instead of trading for ships worth 10.4M, I can now purchase ships worth 22.75M. Totally worth it and thanks for all the videos Jason.

[@specrtre]

@@DeviousNekomata thank you

[@Gamerdad2008]

Did the same. You can upgrade it if it is a ship.you want to keep to increase value as well. You can leave the station and go save, as long as you stay IN SYSTEM and do not reload you are good. I went to.my freighter to get stuff to fix it. Worked every time.

[@Zeesarh]

is not giving me the credits, just some materials and stuff.. :(

[@michaelhammonds8626]

It still works! Just did it again last night. A few additional pointers. 1) You "can" trade the ship for a ship of any value, it does not have to be less, you just have to pay the difference but will often get enough money for the ship to offset that cost and still make a profit. I do it all the time. 2) You can increase the crashed ship's trade value by fixing things in the storage area (not the tech area). It is not enough to be worth it for a single trade, but over the course of a dozen or even a few dozen trades it can become substantially increase your profit margin on each trade. If Jason had fixed the broken items on the ship it would have been worth around 8 million trade value instead of 3.2 million. 3) Before you scrap the ship, open the storage and scrap any installed upgrades (usually 1-3 upgrades). These will yield their base components and you can get things like anti-matter, wiring, and other goodies, just transfer them to your storage after you scrap them but before scrapping the ship. 4) When your hold gets full, go trade in your upgrade modules (and collect the nanites) which will free up slots so you can continue. If you are getting very full you can sell the scrap ship parts in your pack and cargo. 5) Remember do not reload the game or leave the system. Once you do that the magic spell is broken and your crashed ship turns into a pumpkin.

[@LymarkW]

It says 'ship unoccupied- locate pilot to begin trade', when I try to reclaim my half-broken/abandoned ship after scrapping the exchanged one. What am I doing wrong here?

[@michaelhammonds8626]

@@LymarkW Hard to say. Did you reload the game at any time? That is usually the reason. I have done it myself a few times without really thinking. The other likely culprit is leaving the system. Maybe teleporting, I have never tried doing that and seeing if I can still use the glitch. My guess is no. The key is to repair enough of the ship to fly to the station. Go there directly and do not reload. Once you land you can start trading and scrapping. Hope that helps.

[@faerigirl]

I just did this with a A class cheap ship (4.6 mil) in a wealthy system. Mainly because I just wanted to try it. Here's what happened: After 12 or 15 exchanges my profit from scrapping and selling was 12,506,942 units and 5050 nanites and 2 storage upgrades. I spent maybe an hour doing it. I did exactly what Jason said to do and it worked as intended. Best piece of advice would be to get the best ship you can find and just follow the directions. Thanks Jason!

[@barbaraschmidt2620]

Love your videos! Actually you can exchange it for a higher priced ship any difference you pay reduces your profit. I recently found a crashed S-class shuttle with a price of 6.6 mil units and a scrap value of 3.5... fixed most of the broken parts (never fix everything) and augmented the storage, bringing it's price to 92 mil and scrap value to 61,5 mil, then kept trading it for anything from 3 mil fighters to 80 mil haulers. Within about 3-4 hours I made ~900 mil units, 12k nanites and 26 augmentations. You want to do this in a high economy system, otherwise you will be waiting forever for ships to come in. If you need units, go for the higher priced ships (close to your ships value) If you need nanites, go for fighters because they usually have 3-5 upgrades compared to only 1 or 2 in shuttles and others. Have fun scrapping!

I just have to comment and say thanks for this top. I have made so much money this way. On a attempt to give a tip back, if you find a downed ship you want to keep but not repair, have a friend claim it and take it to space station. He then trades it to an NPC, you go to NPC that will appear next to ship you want and ask to buy ship. You can then buy it from NPC for free and it all repaired. Got an S class 48 slot Hauler like this.

You can use this glitch to copy ships(copied ships dont carry over inventory). Before completing the strangers beacon repair in the first couple missions, when you get to the Zaifus, do your ship scrapping glitch a few times to make enough to buy(not swap) a new ship. Reclaim the Zaifus at the station. You should have your what you called "permanent" ship there now. Buy a new ship(not swap) and fly that back to the beacon. There should be another Zaifus waiting along with your original ship. Repair it enough for the glitch and fly back to the station. Rename that zaifus now there should be 2 zaifus and the "permanent" at the station. Scrap the unnamed zaifus and the "permanent". The ship that appears will be a copy of the original that you parked at the beacon. I found this out when ships stopped parking at the station after I had 3 parked there. Cheers :p

[@jasoncobb1066]

Thanks for the video on this, helped get me a good ship. After messing with it a little I changed up the process and now have some storage augmentations, mods, nanites and money. I found a crashed hauler that is worth 12million but scraps for 4. I fixed it up, didn't cost much, less than a million and now I can scrap that ship for 10 million. I wait for 20-40 million haulers to come in and swap ships then scrap the swapped ship. I get s class mods, storage upgrades and millions in parts to sell. This by far is a quicker way to earn money than only buying a ship equal or less than the fixer upper. Be careful doing this because after awhile you fill up on stuff you want to keep and end up going to your other parked ship that appears when you scrap a ship, to put items in it. But now that is your active ship and if you swap ships you'll lose that one instead of the fixer upper. Did this a couple times moving too fast.

[@icarus4974]

Still works 7/27! Pro tip: When you want to leave and go do something else, scrap a ship you exchanged the abandoned one for (so that you do NOT have ownership of the abandoned ship) then go in and out of your other preowned ship that should be in the space station as well (creating an autosave with you never having owned the abandoned one). You should now be able to leave the system with your pre-existing ship essentially resetting the abandoned one with the benefit of being able to come back to said same system and find that same abandoned ship again to do the glitch at your leisure. - Do NOT get back in abandoned ship after scrapping an exchanged ship. - Can fly back to distress site of ship with preowned ship to double check (abandoned ship should be at originally found location while another "fake" copy left behind at the space station) -Do not attempt to take said "fake copy" (could mess it up)

[@boggers]

You can just scrap the abandoned ship when you're done and it will respawn back at the crash site after a while. I'm not sure the exact timing, I've seen it respawn within an hour, and it's usually but not always there the next day. (My starter base is built next to a crash site)

[@darlinglionheart4195]

Thanks for the tip! Since it seemed to work as of 5mo ago, our Host tried this in multi yesterday. It didn't work; the scrapped ship disappeared. I still need to test it solo. What we DID discover though was the ships he bought & scrapped directly in the bay didn't disappear, and instead ended up claimed by me (the only other player in the group). If I got in that ship, I couldn't claim it in any way; by flying it to my freighter, or ground & summoning another ship, etc. BUT it turned out the game thought *that* ship was whatever one I'd most recently exited. So what was a nearly fully-upgraded A-Class Explorer (~$16m) gained the body AND salvage value of a previously S-class Exotic (~$44m)! It retained the old name, upgrades, class, and seemingly the stats (the card shows Exotic stats but it still feels really sluggish despite 3x maneuverability). It's like 2 ships had the same entry in the game logs, confirmed because scrapping the "ghost" Exotic gave me $44m in scrap but caused *both* it and my legit Explorer to disappear. I had to re-load my save :) The other odd bit was when I flew the "ghost" ship down & summoned a ship I'd bought in the same station, the *latter* ship stayed on the pad in the station & showed as claimed by my friend! We assumed it would do the same weird body-double thing so we left it alone.

Am I the only one that actually likes to make money legit in this game?

[@Magnuswhitefire]

Glitch still works on Xbox one, A few tips 1)Fix all the inventory slots to increase the trade in value, think of it as a small investment the can quickly turn around. 2)Dont fix any other ship systems as I dont know if this will lock the ship onto you. 3)You can also pay the deference on a trade if you want, but you may not get all your money back out of the scrapped ship. 4) store extra goodies from scrapped ships in your other ship just before your reclaim the abandoned ship so keep your inventory slots open.

Also paying up to 5-6 mil when swapping is ok, easily makes money back change for ship inventory upgrade worth it, especially if those cost 50mil+ for Your ship :P).

I just found a slight variation to the scrap glitch. Once you claimed any ship that needs repairs. You can fix the pulse engine. Then take your most expensive ship to a space station. Then do the same thing of exchanging ships but with your most expensive ship instead of the new faulty one. After you scrapped a new ship for say 10.000.000. Then you re claim your expensive ship back for free. You don't even need to rove items from the inventory. The funny thing about the glitch is your new faulty ship you claimed turns up at the station, and that what you are exchanging.

I just got this game yesterday. This is totally gonna boost me into the big leagues! HAHAHA! I was trying to find out how to use Coordinates Exchange, then I find out you need to have gotten to the portal (which I have not). I then opted to try finding ships from the distress signal maps sold by cartographers. I found one but it was worth only $400,000 damaged. I scrapped it and came to the realization that this glitch was too far ahead of where I was at in the game. Then about 5 minutes later, I was flying to a observatory from another cartography map, scanned and found an "abandoned building" 400u away. Flew to it and it was a crashed ship! The first I have ever found by just exploring alone. Not just any ship, no this was a Class C worth 14.5 million undamaged with an almost full inventory. I didn't even know such a god tier C Class ship could even exist. I took it to the station and found out it's worth 4 million damaged and was able to trade it for anything that landed. Thank you for sharing this glitch! I made a manual save before I got in the ship and plan to do this for as long as I can stand tomorrow. I am used to playing Elite Dangerous, so I am used to monotonous grinding.

Yup, I messed it up. I think by doing the manual save after I claimed it. Oh well. I at least found a better ship than the one you start with so I'm going to keep it and then keep looking for other crash sites.

In the worse case scenario, just land at the unwanted spots to clear the beacon. It’s a pain, but still quicker than running through the pilot mission for little reward.

[@sen8639]

What is create an auto save right before I search for the signal, and then I hover over the crash sight when I arrive. If someone is walking around I just reload my previous save, but if it’s an abandoned ship I land and take it

It's about 1 in 3 that don't have a pilot.

Just use the radar on your Nautilon on ocean planets. It's literally built for finding sunken crashes ships.

[@princekalibas9691]

Great vid. Still works. Just a note: If you don't have an S-Class or A-Class ship, but you have some money in your pocket (at least 10million units) this actually still works for purchasing more expensive ships. While you don't net as much on the free ships, you often get their higher class modules to then save for the ship you're keeping. Eg: I bought a ship for 700k junked it for 1million. Net 300k, but I also got an A Class module that I didn't have previously on my normal ship. Food for thought.

[@TheDaveJK]

4/30/2020 - This still works. All these comments about this exploit being "patched" obviously have no clue what they are doing. DO NOT try and use a portal to find a ship because (a) that system won't have a space station that you can scrap ships at, it will be abandoned (b) when you come back through the portal to your own system it's the same thing as leaving your system with a warp. Try finding a Hauler with as much storage space to make it worth more when trading. Repair the Pulse Engine and the Launch Thrusters. Then repair all the storage spaces on your Hauler that you found to get more value out of it when trading (this can most likely double it's value, but it's optional). Now when you go to a Space Station do like what's suggested in the video and trade your Hauler for another ship that is worth no more than your Hauler. Scrap that ship, then go back to your Hauler and claim it for free.

Still working.. but i found out something better by accident. =D i traded my hauler for another hauler. after about 2 minutes my old hauler comes back to the trading post and i wondered how much it would cost to buy it back. now... instead of scanning it i spoke to the pilot and.. well i could claim it back without payment. so i got the new ship and my old one for free. it works till now with any ship. if you do that in a spacestation and you are fast enough you can trade your maybe 100++ million ship for anything else.. than ran back to the new pilot and just claim it back. so you can just get a hauler worth 100 million for free.. or even if you pay 10million more. it all works. if you dont believe me just try it with a cheap ship before. fast money and fast nanite by selling all those upgrades also you can save/reload and leave the system to go to another one. doesnt matter.

I know the video is some-what old, but if anyone scrolling through the comments wondering how much you can repair the ship before it stops working. (And yes... The glitch in general still works even now) You can repair everything 100%, even upgrade it too to increase the value further and the glitch will still work, only time the glitch will stop working is if you reload your save or warp to another galaxy.

[@Neosapien11]

My question is. When you're in the space station, and you're looking for a ship to trade in, won't the ship's stop spawning after a while? I've always noticed that after a certain amount of time, ship's stop coming in to the station? Or am I mistaken.

[@jamesbishop5064]

Completely unrelated comment for anyone who might find use of it. If your ever online with a friend, and you like a ship and want to buy it on a space station. If you keep talking to the pilot and invite a friend to join you then you can ask your friend to talk to the pilot for you while you use the telepoter to go somewhere else and then come back and the ship will stay the same visually but its stats and rank will change. May also work if you leave space station and come back in. Never got chance to try that before my mate came offline. Obviously the ship will cost more or less depending on what rank your aiming for. But guessing if your reading this you may already have enough after following Jason's guides. Thought it might help if you ever see a ship you really want but don't like its current stats.

[@VoidsentVivi]

I've tried twice now and this did not work. I bought the planetary charts, went to the distress beacon, hit claim ship, repaired ONLY the pulse drive and brought it back to station. Exchanged (for 0 credit) and scrapped the newly traded ship. Both times the broken ship disappeared and was replaced by my other working ship. The only thing I can think of is either A) this got patched or B) getting scanned by pirates and having to run away breaks the glitch. Both times I got scanned, the first time they did manage to hit me with a shot. The 2nd time they didn't even touch me at all.

[@VoidsentVivi]

Okay i managed to get it working but instead what I did was traded the NPC for his ship, went back to the broken one, RE-claimed it, hopped into the NPC ship then scrapped it. Even tested leaving some items in the broken ship and it was all still there. Also managed to bring it back without any hostile scans

[@VoidsentVivi]

Took it a step further and tried spending money to make money as one other commenter put it. Used the broken ship to buy a ship worth slightly more than mine. Claimed the broken one back then used the new NPC ship to do the same trick but claiming back for free the NPC ship. Eventually buy a new ship that worth more than the current NPC ship im handling so my "exchange ceiling" goes up. Currently sitting with an NPC ship worth 12m units that I can used to "exchange" with any NPC and then get back for free thus allowing me to claim ships worth a lot more without having to shell out any money. All off a broken ship worth 1.9m that I got for free lmao
