After completing the hack, zoom out from your ship a bit and you should see a handful of green cross icons radiating out from the now-hacked container. These are small loot packages, and single-clicking any one of them will automatically zip it into your cargo hold over the course of a second or two. '''You can only grab one container of loot at a time, and only if they are within 3,~~500m~~''', so be sure to stay close to the cloud of packages as it travels outward from the container. You can maneuver around while tractoring loot in: double-clicking on one of the packages will automatically have your ship approach it.

These loot containers come in several types: '''Materials Containers, Parts Containers, Equipment Containers, Data Containers and Scraps Containers'''. Each contains a different assortment of loot, so how do you know which ones to grab? That's where the Cargo Scanner that you've fitted to your ship comes in! '''Before starting a hack on a container, use your Cargo Scanner on it.''' This will bring up a list of items that you can receive as loot from the container. Each type of loot will be ejected into space in a particular type of container, so once you know what is inside the soon-to-be hacked receptacle, you'll know what types of containers you should grab for once they are ejected into space!
