[@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.

[@RicardoHernandez-sz2yp]

[@evilgenius3646]

@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.

[@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.

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.

[@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!

[@insomniadrive9154]

Dude I freaking love your videos. You give every detail and you seem like such a nice dude. Keep up the great vids homie!

[@garyandsonjawilliams1137]

Thanks for this Jason I can verify that this is still working although I did find I could still make a load of units on more expensive ships eg. Crashed ship was 11.5m scrap value, I traded a ship worth 15m paid 4.5m then scraped for around 10.5m making 6m and getting better components to sell. cheers

[@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.

[@kadewright5368]

Looks like a really good way to get nanites more then units. I personally feel like an indi farm is the way to go or the cobalt resell and buy back are the way to go with units. Great video as always, gonna have to try it out 👍🏻

[@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.

[@andrashoffmann7522]

I really like that even tho you cover some advanced topics, when you do something very simple you still explain it in detail, as a beginner thats very helpful thanks

[@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!

Hey just wanna day I’ve been watching some of your guides the last few days since I started playing again and they’ve all been very helpful! Thank you!

Love the video, and I do this all the time now thanks to you. A couple of quick observations though: (1) you can upgrade everything but the shields and it still works (with more profit) and (2) you can trade it for any price ship (i.e. more expensive than the salvage ship) and the glitch still works. I always put some junk into the inventory, but I don't know if this matters.

[@alexdamas9808]

Still works up to this point. You can do it regardless if the ship is destroyed or not. One tip is after the exchange you talk back to claim your ship again.

[@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.

Thanks for this. Still works as of this week (start of Dec 2020)

[@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.

[@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.

[@blankbydesign]

This works 💯 appreciate the gem, just started playing 3 days ago... i stack the ships and swap out ships frome my crappy garage lol... but I just leave the abandoned ship and and claim it then swap 2 or 3 ships at 0 trade units then from there i leave my new ships, scrap a ship then claim the abandoned ship again ect...

[@crossmyass]

You don't sell that ship, you trade it so it doesn't matter if it's fixed or not.

[@meditationmusicpresents3635]

I’m guessing it only works on crashed ships that still have launch thrusters working.. so you don’t have to repair it.. like yours is.. I tried 4x the ship says abandoned but I can’t reclaim it as of today (XBOX) Also.. my other ship doesn’t show up at the station either...

[@jnel297]

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.

[@michaelhammonds8626]

Great vids, Jason!! I have tried this a few times in the past two weeks. The first 2 times I had little money, not much experience and felt totally clueless. The ships were not worth a whole lot, about 5 mil each new, trade value much lower because of the damage. But I made some decent early game noob money (about 50 mill each time). Which was perfect because each time I ended the trading because I came across S-class ships I had to have! The first was a large Blue fighter, S-class, with inventory of 38-12. The next day I made another 50 mil and then found a S-class Hauler with inventory of 46 (I think, have not actually used it yet, just sitting in my Freighter). A few days later I came across a large S-class Explorer slots of 38-12 and then a small exotic (squid) S-type with 16 slots that I bought because it looked cool. Buying these ships used much of the money I made but I still came out ahead. Plus the nanites. Plus some ship materials I did not have much access too. A few things I learned along the way: 1. The ships usually have a S or B module installed and I found I can dismantle that for its resources before selling the ship and it does not affect the sell value. 2. Repair as much as you can. It will cost a bit and requires a lot of resources but it increases the trade value of your ship and allows you to trade for more valuable ships. However only repair damage in the storage area, not the technology. Repairing tech slots does not appear to increase the ship value. a. Once I found a ship worth 3.2 mil but its trade value was 1.7 mil. By repairing it I got the trade value up to 2.8 mil. That really allowed me to trade for many more ship than 1.7 mil! 3. If you need materials for repair that are not available in the station, ask the pilots of the visiting ships! They sometime have what you need. 4. Keep your main ship stocked with materials. After your first ship is scrapped, your personal craft should appear. You can raid your ship for materials to fix your flipper. 5. Do not load your game. Once you do that the flipper ship will still read as abandoned when you come back but will tell you to find the pilot. You cannot claim it again.

Update: this glitch is so awesome! I found a planet in a wealthy system with 3 crashed haulers on it, worth 40 million, 40 million and 32 million units! I placed beacons by them and they have been re-spawning. Once the broken parts are repaired in cargo they are worth 28 million and 23 million to trade! The station has a steady stream of ships since it is a wealthy system. Though most of the ships are 17.5 mil or less or 40 million or more. Still a steady stream of valuable ships. I can make a few hundred million units in a couple of hours. Plus lots of nanites from selling all the mods. I even get the occasional alien ship that I resell (since I already have one maxed out using augments I get from selling all the scrapped ships!).

[@olivercolaprete9130]

Still working! Collected 50 storage augmentations and over 40k nanites in a few hours from an S-Class shuttle.. Thanks!

[@gargoyle2423]

Some ships have broken thrusters, and you need that to take off.

[@Justin-uc8sc]

You didn’t mention that you can repair BOTH the launch thrusters and pulse engine on the abandoned ship and the glitch will still work.

[@lockede8704]

Yeah he did. Just watch 2m in the video

[@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.

[@magnusgreel275]

Can confirm this works as at 24/12/20 :) Thanks for the guide. I'd actually marked off a large crashed hauler ages ago, but then I found an S-class hauler instead. This allowed me to upgrade the S-class to maximum technology slots :)

[@kinghoffbeers4221]

Your tutorials are so good i wish you'd do a step by step how to mod on pc.

[@tjp1451]

Hey so I have found that the distress signal maps never give me crashed ships you can salvage, only ships where the pilot is hanging around and takes off in the ship after you help him. Finding transmission towers using the ‘find settlement’ map or whatever it’s called seems to work better for me. Thanks a bunch for this video!

[@JasonPlaysNMS]

It does seem to give me more crashed pilots too. I need to do some more research, there has to be a way to force the maps to do that

[@jippy8976]

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

[@Jremo1979]

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.

For those saying they fixed this, they haven't. You just can't use any warping at all. Find a crashed ship. Repair it and fly to the space station.

[@umbramortis2576]

Thank you Jason, as a new player this really helps grease the wheels. I found a hauler worth 32M and keep flipping it if I spend under 2M on the trade I net 8M per scrap. I’ve made over half a Billion so far in less than half a day. Good stuff. Also if you fix up the salvaged ship it improves the trade in value.

[@umbramortis2576]

Also everyone seems to forget how insanely valuable those storage augments are!!!! That’s what I’m farming for now.

Galactic News: Mysterious Traveler destroys local economy by trading a broken, abandoned vessel with local traders and scraps their vessels for scrap.

[@hitlerspimp]

It would seem you no longer get the money after scrapping them (finding out after 20 mins of scrapping only to see my money not going up) But you do still get the mods and scrapped loot when you do it, and you are able to sell those ..guess its time to go back to the chlorine strat

[@devilsfaun4272]

You never get money from scrapping ships anyway. You only get scrap for the value, not units!

[@ItsBulletman]

Yeah the worth of the scrap that you get is what it tells you not actual units gained

[@Dreddpool82]

if you have 4.297billion you won't get any more as that is the units cap.

[@Sophie2570]

If the value of the scrapped ship was 300,000, then you get 300,000 worth in scrap. You sell the scrap to get the money. That's how it's always been.

[@pamplemoussefurtif8220]

And if you find a trading terminal that buys the scrap at a higher price than the base value, you gain even more units
