I got the gun my first try but have never gotten the "ship" and as far as I know that is the only way to get a precursor gun (ternie can use it with her skill)

EDIT: nevermind you can get precursor guns by killing the ships Ternie summons after you rescue her.

Well i dunno if it is related or not to myself destructing some of the Memorial structures to get in there, but i reloaded an old save before entering system as suggested, tried a few times to get to the memorial by shooting stuctures nothing droped, tried to get in (from the bottom, after multiple new saves made when in system) without shooting at structure and now each time i'm getting 2 precursors guns + 1 precursor fighter + 1 precursor skull and some alien gun + missile. Damn precursor spirits ;)

and the ship is not usable, it is a "cargo" item, like the skull btw.

Raided heppy again. Did the "go through defenses" option (other always seems to blow me up)

Destroyed every wreck, every fake stashteroid all the guns. Nothing! No booty in sight!

I returned to haephestus at the end of my last game and got 4 stashes. Three were from ships, I think the last one was from an asteroid (could have been all four from ships).

If you turn on the altitude lines it makes it much easier to find objects, especially in dust clouds.

Raided again, both post elio and pre. Still nothing.

I've tried during returning from Elio and nothing but if you end this mission, take new - caches will appear. This is how it worked for me.

So go to station to meet alyx, get message that he isn't there, then go hep?

Seems like despite what the game tells you, it seems like destroying pirate stations does NOT net you a fat bonus.

Hehe, I remember my first station kill... thing took forever to blow up. I was disappointed that I got nothing for it. It might possibly be stations only in a certain sector? Can't remember the news article exactly right now...

Hephaeptus
 

I tried this one, if you go there directly after you get Mastif, you wont get any drop. Its clear that this drop is triggered by some quest later in the game. You should put this at the beginning of this thread so everyone knows that.
