Is megaship looting broken?

[S0rkvild]

I was bored so I decided to try something I haven't done before. Equipped accordingly, followed all the steps according to art megaship looting... and what? Cargo is stuck in the megaship cargo bay not a single canister is released. After scanning the bay I could see the ship manifest and cargo the megships carry is total garbage not worth the hassle. Why ship looting even exist? It's broken, massively underpaid. While the mechanics behind it is good, but under current status and rewards it is a total waste of time.

That last sentence can describe many of the features in this game.

True.
Imagine this - highly rewarding looting missions available via bulletin board. Whole bunch of rares inside, high grade engineer materials waiting for those who dare. But now? Why even bother for a few credits? To pick up a few tonnes of some worthless minerals. Sorry, you won't pick up anything, cargo release is borked at the moment and you can only watch visually engaging cargo bay open/close animations.

Looks like there is a bug filed.

Guys pls vote here, Fdev "saw" the bug and it needs votings now.
For information, the damaged megaships contains thargoids sensors and thargoids probes (rare and some FC like me buy them 4M/t).

A common occurence in ED.

So true, like the weak reward for thargoid fight (most dangerous combat in the game) and the HIGH reward for mining...

Can you blow up the cargo at least? Just out of anger?

Has the issue been fixed yet?

 

[Stellar Shepherd]

I’ve tried it couple weeks ago and it was still an issue in the bubble, however about a week ago the ones in colonia for escape pods worked.

 

[Adel]

Has the issue been fixed yet?

It will be on Odyssey Patch 3...

 

[MishaTX]

Fixed? By FDev? Are you kidding me? But they'll fix the silly NPC hair colors tomorrow, so be grateful!

 

[GroG79]

patch notes out?

Once upon a time in Ye Olden days there actually were a handful of megaships that would give G4 Manufactuing materials but it was nerfed.

I hope they fix this, it really diminishes The Megaships and is a real loss to the game.

It's invulnerable while inside The Bay, and I was bored not angry
