I think beam lasers melt cargo hatches shut when you target them.

Hi

Weird thing that I have only noticed on the last 3 Commanders I pirated.

They weren't giving me cargo even after I very politely asked them.

So i took it upon myself, as any good pirate would. To help them out.

I used beams to quickly knock the hatch down to zero. On all 3, not a single bit of cargo fell out.
I know they had stuff to acquire because I had already scanned.

I will try tomorrow using another weapon but has anyone else noticed this.

Or is this a bug maybe?

Thanks

Lol, I hope that's true, nobody else has mentioned it before. I've only ever tried hatch cracking with projectile weapons so I can't be sure.

Your problem was you shouldn't take the cargo hatch to zero as quickly as possible. I've found cargo drops at or near 75%/50%/25%/10% but stops at 0%. It also doesn't stack, so try to take the cargo hatch down as slow as possible.

I've found the best strategy is, shoot the cargo hatch lightly until cargo falls out, wait until it stops, shoot lightly again, rinse and repeat.

That sort of makes sense, I have noticed that.
But also a bit defeatist... If you have blown away the hatch completely.. It should spew everything out.

Click to expand...

has happened to me as well on rare occasions. did you manage to take out the cargo hatch real quick? i noticed when i brought the hatch integrity down to 0% real fast it tended to not spit out any canisters.
