Are there abandoned ships in X3: Albion Prelude?

Has anyone found any abandoned ships in Albion Prelude. Perhaps they are the same as Terran Confict?

I would like to know if there are abandoned ships that I can claim to kickstart a little money.

Thanks


From what I gather (i.e. digging around on egosoft forums and exploring the game), abandoned ships in the galaxy are now randomized, so they're no longer in a predetermined position.

If you are having trouble with money, make your way to the Omicron Lyrae area (I hung around in Circle of Labor a lot, which is just north of OL) and start looting the various missiles that gets dropped during the battles between Terrans and Argons. You can easily make 1 mill in half an hour.

Just make sure you don't wander into a stray PSP or you'll be instantly vaporized.


I have found 1 corvette in unknown sector, next to Xenon sector 534.

Stats:

  • 39% damaged
  • no shield
  • 10 kyon beta
  • 2 thorn missiles

Coordinates: 1.48 km X / -24.1 km Y / -855 Z
I found it while mining for nividium.
It was 25 km below the nividium 5 rock.
