I'm doing the second mission in this game "inside the pirate den" aura said that i have highlighted the loot create on the map, but I'm not finding it anywhere on the map, i looked online and it said that "E: if the triangle is blue or white, you can freely loot it. If it's yellow, you must have your safety at yellow to loot it." I'm not seeing any triangles, just a ton of squares and no there are no triangles in them

It look like any of these? Squares are containers while inverted triangles are wrecks.

Btw, the color of the icon (for containers and wrecks) simply represents ownership or any lack thereof. White means it's owned by you and you have full access to it, blue means no one owns it (it was abandoned by the owner) and you and everyone else have full access to it, and yellow means it's owned by someone else and you don't have rights to access its contents but the owner does. In the case of the first two, you can freely take from or add to said containers without needing to lower your safety systems below the default of green. In the case of the last, you'd need to set your safety on yellow or red. Then, with the safety set to allow criminal/suspect actions, you can steal the objects in a yellow container or wreck. You will however incur a suspect timer which, until it fully elapses, permits the owner of the container to freely retaliate against you without CONCORD stepping in.

To adjust your safety, look for a green-lit button located to the left and above your ship's HP gauges, then click on it to bring up the safety controls window and select the setting you want. If you set it to yellow or red, you will need to confirm to selection by clicking on the selection and then "confirm" at the bottom of the window, while setting it back on green does not require a confirmation.

Sounds more like a bug, then. The NPE system is still very new and a recent overhaul, which means it's still not airtight on errors. Best thing to do is to send CCP a bug report which you can do in game by pressing F12 and clicking on "Report bug."

It might be that you opened the container, and have not "looted" it.

To do this
- Make sure your ship is 2500m to the container in question, or closer.
- Open the container as you normally would.
- Bottom of the new window should have a button that says "loot all". Hit that.
- Alternatively, if you don't want everything in the wreck/container that you are looting, open the container then click and drag the items into your inventory that you want to keep.

Loot the squares if you can.
