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!

Note that, occasionally, the cargo scanner will come up empty. This means that the object you're trying to hack contains no valuable loot whatsoever, and is probably not worth your time to hack.

'''EXAMPLE:''' You are in a Data Site and are approaching a Guristas Info Shard. You use your Cargo Scanner on it reports back that there is 1 Esoteric Symmetry inside, which is a valuable Decryptor. Exciting! Checking the guide below, you’ll see that Decryptors are ejected in Parts Containers, so once you successfully hack this Info Shard, you’ll know to grab as many Parts Containers as you can!
