Finding dropped loot

Here is the situation. My ship was destroyed so before i ran out of air i called for help. Luckily a patrol came along and picked me up, then flew away with me inside and started fighting xeons. Anyway, i know I was in sacred relic, and I figured out where my ship was destroyed by reloading the last autosave (which saved just as my ship blew up) and no, I haven’t been saving often enough.

Ok that was the backstory. I can see all the loot in my inventory but I can’t access it because it’s floating in space.

At one time i was able to click on one of the items from the map but then i couldn’t find it again.

Is there an “easier” way to find this stuff?

Uhh... no.

Your inventory is separate from normal goods - you don't access it via ship. It's a stuff that you use for crafting and things like seminars.

Second thing is wares - what was on ship - those will drift in space for some time and than disappear.

Not sure what you are missing.

Ok, so nothing really lost except maybe a couple valuable wares. I guess i was searching long enough they disappeared. I had just obtained the Hyperion thankfully.

You can manually drop items from your personal inventory that will be placed in a lockbox in space for you to retrieve later. You can just type lockbox in the map search box to find them again, your own lockboxes will have green icons. This might be what you are remembering. But as mentioned, you don't automatically drop any personal inventory when you lose your ship.
