This is the road block for me (Salvaged Frigate Module), don't have it, can't get it. I looked it up on NMS wiki and it said to “search crashed freighters cargo.” I did that twice, and found the usual junk. Been searching planets for a while now, and no more freighters are coming up. It's now turned into work, if there is not some other way of getting fuel for the frigates I brought, I am done. Is there a way to get Freighter/Frigate fuel besides spending countless futile hours of searching?
If anyone else is having this problrm I found a fix for it. Decided to just go after the frigates that were in the system I just warped to. Took a shuttle (looking for a good fighter) and attacked any frigate i got close to, even took some shots a freighter until I had to fend off some help that arrived. I checked after I landed and I had the salvage to get the tech to make fuel. Glad this worked out.
You will get the Blueprints for the 50, 100 and 200 tonne Frigate Fuel automatically, once you activate the console in your first Fleet Command room on your freighter for the frist time (or was it, when after activation you spoke to your Navigator ? Can't remember exactly). There is no need to collect Salvaged Frigate Modules in order to unlock the Frigate Fuel blueprints.

As for obtaining Salvaged Frigate Modules, I found one in the four or five Crashed Freighters I checked so far. But since I usually ignore the Crashed Freighters, the majority of Salvaged Frigate Modules is brought in by my Frigate fleet. I've had one Mission bring in three at once.

Also, patch 2.09.3 finally reduced the obscene amounts of SFMs formerly required for unlocking the Freighter Hyperdrive Upgrades at the Freighter Research Terminal: 200/400/800 to 4/8/12.

Oh, and for the materials required for creating the actual Frigate Fuel, I usually just buy Tritium and Di-Hydrogen Jelly, which I then refine into Di-Hydrogen.

The Debriefings of the Frigate missions can be a hilarious read with their sometimes dry sense of humor, or descriptions of how they got their a** handed to them :D

Edit: I allways checked the Manage Fleet terminal for Frigates waiting to be Debriefed in order to check for finished Missions -- until I noticed, that the Frigate holo-models in Fleet Command rooms stop moving, once they're back.

So wrong, you are playing a dfferent game than I am. This game has never worked the others have said it would, and never will. Like power lines for example, with me the game just refuses to run power through them. doesn't matter how many times i set them up, it just a different game. It's the your a sucker for buying it game.
Hehe :)

Don't get me started on the bugs (old and new) I encounter.

Getting the Frigate Fuel blueprints requires the mission to be active. I don't remember the exact order, but you had to bounce back and forth between your Navigator and the Fleet Command Room. For now, that never failed for me. But I am reasonably sure, that there are steps to trigger some bug ending you up without the blueprints.

HG seems particularly good at introducing interesting ideas (powering bases), and then hosing the implementation (glowing lines all over the place, disconnecting power lines, no power sockets on items that need power).

Add to this, that the game is often far too polite to tell me how it needs things to be done, combine that with being unsure, whether I'm looking at a bug, or some glitch I'm accidentially using which might be 'fixed' rendering what I did useless ... and, well, you're allmost there ...

Nonetheless, I really like playing NMS, or at least large parts of it.
For the first time I got one of these modules in a crashed freighter container. Scan with your visor to see these containers and mark them. What's inside in these containers is random each time, but at some point you should get a Frigate Module.

The description of the module says that you can find them in crashed freighters (sic) and after the return of successful frigate expeditions.

You can also get directly the upgrades which these modules are building: kill sentinel ships in space.

Good luck!

Another way is to pirate them from freighters in space, instead of putting up a fight with System Authority. Just make sure you exclusively hit the freighters' cargo pods, and not one of the ships floating around it in order to not lose rep.

A single System Authority ship will pop in and start shooting at you, but as long as you don't attack back, no others will spawn.

If you have enough, and are too far away from a Space Station to hide from the authorities, just summon the Anomaly and slip in.

That's interesting, thanks for the info :)
They are there, I know it, but hiding very well.

I had found one (and only one) in a crashed freighter very early on, sold it, because I was out of inventory space (inventory origami = 25% of the game), and that was it. After this early success, I have dug out myriads of crashed freighters... At least I have tons of glass to sell afterwards.

Thanks, now I know it's probably not worth the time.

Interesting things I am learning here: Pirating!? Shame on you!
The Anomaly a hideout of gangsters? I should have known.
(I have to try that myself one day ^^)
