Game claims 'Some Ships Can Be Repaired to Fly Again' ???

[Ghozt]

So, as one is salvaging, one of the pop-up hints is that some of the salvageable ships can be repaired to fly again. How do you know? How is this done?

 

Probably asked and answered already, but I can't find it.

In hidden mass sectors you can find abandoned ships.  They'll be named Abandoned Ship instead of Wreckage.  That's how you know you can repair them.

Awesome. Thank you very much. I thought I was doing something wrong, or missing something.

 

So, you need to have a Hyperdrive before you can actually get to these places, I assume?

use a radar upgrade that has the "shows yellow blips" These are the hidden mass, you actually get one for free from the first jump you make and talk to the explorer guy, be nice to him and he says you know what.. have this.

 

While in hidden mass areas use the object detector upgrade and they will find any claimable asteroid / ships instantly.

 

Also if you go and repair a ship.. dismantle it with safemode off for 100% credit and material reward lol

 

Also.. your ship can already jump 2 sectors(or is it 3?) on its own.

so you can go to these hidden masses straight from the start :)

Way at the start after your first jump or so, you should've run into an adventurer, that after some babbling can give you a radar upgrade which shows mass in hidden sectors :)

 

And only the orange and up object detectors actually show the whole sector. All the ones below that only have a scan range.
