Speak to your navigator to complete industrial-type missions. Depending on the difficulty of the mission, a Salvaged Frigate Module may drop (7-20% chance). So if you're a beginning player, a frigate module may not drop on your first mission, but you can complete up to 5 a day.^{[1]

Go to a pirate system, shoot the cargo pods of freighters, and pick up your loot.

In a tier 3 economy system or pirate system, there are lots of freighters for you to shoot and loot.
- The drop rate is 1%, so the first freighter you shoot will most likely not have a Salvaged Frigate Module, but the next one might!

Looting derelict freighters.

Find a derelict freighter and loot the storage units you find. Derelict freighters have enemies that you need to beat in order to progress through the area. They are difficult to impossible to solo (depending on your level and setup), so grouping up with other players is advisable. Drop rates are pretty low for each individual container, but you'll be looting so many containers that your chances go up!
- This has a success rate of 2.5%.

7

Completing pirate missions.

Go to a space station in a pirate system and do the missions listed. Pirate missions are more difficult and not a popular choice by other players.
- There's only a 2% chance that a mission will reward a Salvaged Frigate Module.
