When I try to loot a freighter, I disable its engine subsystem then I inspect ........then it says ....contains electronic equipment so I dock with it then I get a message saying cargo succesfully transfered ......however I cant see it in my inventory??? its like I never looted the cargo. Is this a bug?? or am I missing something?? Im just wandering if anyone has ever came across this problem.
I would really appreciate if anyone could explain the correct procedure for looting cargo from big freighters
Regards

I tried the exact same thing with several different frieghters even one that said ore. However it never transfered so I figured it was just one of the many things that the designers only 1/2 designed

The freighters cargo only matter in missions, and even then you wont get anything in your inventory, it´s pure story happening.
I think they should implement Raidable freighter... i.e.
Freighters of Tier1 through 3 drop lvl 1 through 5 Equipment when boarded, credit chip when destroyed (no item)
Freighters Tier 4 and 5 drop lvl5 through8 Equipment when boarded, credit chip when destroyed (no item)
wich would surely add to the fun of JTL 
But this is just my humble oppinion

I like to think of myself as a fairly nice guy...
But being a double crafter with no active lot trades or an alt, I'd turn into a pirate in a heartbeat if those freighters carried any usable resources!!!
(GREAT IDEA, btw.)

It would not really have to be Ship Equipment they drop, they could also drop any of the followikng methinks:
Clothing: Flight suits anyone? Pilot Jackets? Or helmets? Preferably with some +on either lootdrop (more credits in the chips) or piloting skill enhancements (for Shipwrights and alike)
Generic Items/Furniture: Tech Consoles of various sorts, New lootkits wich would be for Ship funishin.... i.e. (as with rugs and stuff) 7/8 "Parts" and 1 adhesive 1(i.e.) seat coating and the like to make 1 YT-1300 passenger lounge or something alike
Theres LOTS of possibilities... all they gotta do is implement them...
and tbh It can´t be THAT hard now can it? (no idea, im no programmer , just a service Technician ^_^)

It even has a splash screen saying kill freighters, enjoy the spoils of war. Yet, magically, freighters drop nothing but a lackluster amount of credits. I like the idea of the freighters dropping different sorts of loot such as ore/equipment etc. The question is, if you kill a freighter, what are the consequences? To add loot to them will require a retuning of the risk vs. reward factor.

I think there is alot of support for the idea of a pirate role. Maybe even a distinct role for smugglers if the cargo is declaired illegal & needs to be sold to a smuggler before it can be passed through customs

I don't know about you guys. I disabled a civilian transport, and when I docked, all the passengers flooded over to my ship. Now I can't get rid of them! They eat all my food, stay up late, make long distance phone calls.

Firstly I would like to say thanks for the many responses ......yeah I assumed when i docked and it actually said electronics transfered .......that they actually got transfered :-) ........its just im sure it worked once and that I got a load of pistol powerups ........but it seems not......yeah im a fan of jtls but Im really surprised to here that .....what we are discussing has not been immplemented .......i might even start a ticket and get the csr view on this as that is terrible.......
I was thinking like if i pirated I would be able to loot like minerals ......the odd set of weapons from a weapons freighter ....how disapointing .......and what half"beeep":-) programming to make the game that when u attempt to loot a ship of say weapons or electronics for it to specifically say "Cargo succesfully transfered" ........i mean is that adecoy to make out that youve actually bought more of a game than you actually have. 300 points for the jump to light speed sinics there :-)))
