Newcomer / Intro Breach items, where art thou?

Rambling of an old retired fellow wanting to play Space Pilot.

So, day 1 in Elite. Done the initial training and got thrown into a system HIP (some numbers) and I was docked at a station on a planet. I picked a few salvage an item from a wreck missions as I am told they are/can be exciting missions but also very simple. But on arrivial at the location (Took me some time to work out how to find such locations but now I know its quite easy) I find the boxes are locked and asking for a code which I have no idea if that can be found, but said I can use Breach items to open them. On returning to my current home base, the seller does not sell such items (greyed out).

So I shall ask, knowing I am in a little ship that does not seem to like going very far, so any help is appreciate.

1. Where does one find Breach items to unlock boxes that are locked asking for codes?
2. Am I wasting my time as a new player with these ground based salvage item missions, should I maybe do delivery (seem very basic) or such instead for my first handful of hours?
3. Any recommendations for an old guy playing space pilot to help them get started.

Thank you

Thanks for the replies, I tried a few of the FC's as someone in Open Chat said that, but the ones I tried had no store onboard to buy them. Will check those Anarchy and Communist systems out.

Cheers

Welcome

If you have been sent to collect / salvage something then it should either not need a code or the code will be provided - you should be able to see that code in blue in th top right of your display.

There was/is an issue where the mission-asset is not present on arrival. In that case you can relog (exit to menu and restart) and you shold find the case / whtever is now present.

Good luck
