I'm now in a position to return to the crashed frigate site. See what secrets it holds, if any. Vid timeline:
(0:00) Intro and en route to crash site.
(29:04) Arrive at crash site.
Looks like the Space Pirates possess underwater packs too!
(37:44) Cargo Freight Lift to Deck Gamma.
New territory. That was as far as I was able to get the first time I venture here.
(43:15) Deck Beta Transit Hall and Biohazard Containment.
I encounter Aqua Drones for the first time. Appear to be armed with laser beams.
(50:42) Deck Beta Security Hall and Biotech Research Area 1.
(55:15) Deck Beta Conduit Hall, Connector Elevator to Deck Beta and Hydra Access Tunnel.
Aqua Sac encountered. Seem harmless.
(1:06:55) Great Tree Hall, Transport Tunnel E and Transport to Phazon Mines East.
At the end of the day, it turned out the crashed frigate served as a corridor to gain access to the entrance of the Space Pirate mining operation! So there wasn't anything big discovered. The Orpheon is pretty much just unsalvageable wreckage at this point.
Obviously, I expect to encounter real heat once inside the mines.
