While traveling to a destination, I receive an incoming message to stop because there is something interesting here. I stop, and find half a freighter floating in space. There are no cargo holds (that i can see) to loot, there are no enemies and i can not land on it. What is so special with locations like these? What can/should I do here?
Occasionally when using the highest speed setting you will encounter an "anomaly" one of these is indeed the "derelict freighter", there's nothing really to do. Sometimes there's cargo pods you can destroy and in turn cause a pirate attack, but otherwise you're good to just speed off again if you were doing something else. Most Anomalies are "oh that's neat ok bye"
Ok cool. That is weird but also makes sense somehow.
I guess this is one with no loot then.
The original variation doesn't have any loot then they added a new one that has loot.
Was it really originally just sightseeing? Nothing to do just look here what we put in this spot?
The original one yeah. Most of them were these small reasons to pull you out of super speed and make space feel a little more inhabited, and not just empty a to b travel.

Like the guy said most of them are just neat to look at, sometimes you’ll get a trader, sometimes you’ll get half a derelict, sometimes you get a full derelict (basically NMS dungeons), sometimes it’ll be just a cool thing to look at but this one has a communication signal, sometimes it could be a thing that you you open fire on and get resources
