Hi Shane.
Looting ships works very much the same way that exploring, harvesting, or
indeed trading do.
When you hit the loot cargo button you will be presented with a list of
cargo types. flicking through them you'll find something like Water-fuel 10
0, Lux food 5 0, crystals 0 6 etc.
Each of the names of the goods such as water-fuel or crystals is a button to
click on, and the two numbers after refer to what is in your ship's hold and
what is available to take. Just so long as you remember the first number
after each button as you flick through is the quantity in your hold and the
second is the amount you can take you should be fine.
To actually do the looting, it's very similar to buying stuff. You hit the
button and then have a screen with the numbers in hold and available, and a
slider, this is where what I was saying earlier about the sliders comes into
play. set the slider to %100, you grab everything, set it to %0, you drop
everything. So if you have 6 lux food in your ship and there is 4
available to take the slider will start at %60 since you currently have %60
of the available amount. bang it up to %100 to grab the other four.
the only other thing to note is that sometimes, when you have four or less
of a given good available, simply flicking up and down the slider won't do
it. In these situations you need to double tap on the slider and then slide
your finger across the screen. Go all the way right to set to %100, or all
the way left to set to %0.
Actually I've taken to using the double tap and slide method myself
regularly, since it is a far quicker way to instantly set a slider to one
end or the other and most of the time I want to take everything or sell
everything.
Btw, the fastest way of looting is to simply have more space in your ship's
cargo hold than the max available lootable cargo, then you can just hit the
"take max" button to grab the lot, though this only shows up when looting
ships and not when exploring or harvesting unfortunately.
Hth.
Beware the Grue!

I'm having issues looting ships. Maybe we need a guide from a VI's
perspective.

Well basically the way the unlocks work is by earning awards at
difficulties
of hard or greater, see
http://www.tresebrothers.com/star-traders-player-guide/ for the full list.
I must confess since I was having so much trouble with the game I did buy
the unlock, which is bad and will try to earn more awardsbut while it's
helped with several things such as a better starting ship, it's not
solved
the problem I'm having with faction ranks.
Maybe I should down grade from normal to easy :d.

i wonder if some of those unlocks will apply as you progress further into
the game though?

Hi Shane.
Well as to the paid stuff being in ap, yes and no.
You can get the free version of star traders from the ap store and then
pay for the upgrade to Star traders Elite, or you can download and pay
for star traders Elite straight from the ap store initially. This is
what I did since the game is hardly expensive and it's certainly my sort
of game.
You can also make an in ap purchice to unlock the items which normally
only get unlocked by completing the awards at harder difficulties.

Just for people on this list, as of yesterday Star traders rpg from
trees
brothers games is now accessible on Ios and can be found on the ap
store.
It's got a nav helper accessed through the menue which gives you a list
of
planets to travel to, which works well.
I'm still figuring out the game and how everything works, but I like
what
I've seen thus far, certainly worth the three dolars for the elite
version,
although there is a free version as well (I bought the elite straight
off
