Exitre Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Oh yes!I wonder if there will be chances for salvage if you're with friends and you blow up player ships?Salvage has always been a fun mechanic in almost any game. From the description of the Aegis Surveyor, Aegis Surveyor – The Surveyor, from noted military contractor Aegis, is an industrial-quality salvage ship. Equipped with a reinforced cargo bay, a long-range jump drive and launch pods for unmanned drones, the Surveyor is an ideal ship for taking advantage of deep space wrecks. Tractor beams, floodlights, scanner options and docking ports round out the tool chest on this capable, utilitarian spacecraft. It seems to me like the salvage mechanic is going to be much more involved than pressing a button or two and collecting teh lootz. Sounds like you're going to have to get your hands a little dirty to retrieve goods off of derelict ships -- perhaps even including EVA, given the inclusion of a docking port. Very exciting.

I'm glad it wont be as simple as "click" "derp!"A mining or cargo ship will be just as big a target as a salvage ship! :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hon-R Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 This does sound very good, I expect there will be a lot of money to be made from salvage. Imagine this: A big battle has taken place between NPC factions. (The UEE and pirates/crime syndicates) After the battle has ended, the area is littered with derbies and wrecks. You swoop in, salvage as much as you can, and sell it on. Perhaps you will even be able to use some of the parts for other ships. I will be looking to acquire on of these babies ingame for sure! I'm glad that the mechanics will be in-depth as well, it always makes things feel much more rewarding than just mashing keys and clicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrondthestarelf1 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 This salvage ship sounds interesting. Hopefully there aren't rules made where salvaging automatically triggers negative reputation for NPCs or PCs alike. Puls0nic and GRIZZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zealpath Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 I would imagine whatever faction wins a battle they will stick around while their faction's salvagers swoop in for work. Puls0nic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, speaking of which is there an Imperium Squadron dedicated to salvage? cause that could be very useful for the fleet.

Nelurek Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I am looking forward to the FPS piece of salvaging. You board a derelict ship in search of tech/resources and get jumped by giant space bugs or something. I am paraphrasing, but there was a comment on Wingman's Hanger about "something made those ships derelict in the first place..."

zealpath Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 Imagine there being some sort of biological viral threat on derelict ships? What if you needed precautions vs such a threat? Disinfect cargo that you salvage, possibilities of booby traps, paying special attention to structural integrity.. I am /super/ excited about all this and i can't want for more information to come out on the subject. Puls0nic, Metaru Mashin and falkan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krell55 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Well they have talked about explorers finding ancient alien civilizations and their is nothing better than finding advance alien weapons and tech also cant forget those lovely ancient trinkets that sell so well on the market. 8) Puls0nic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkan Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I wonder if your ship can become a derelict by falling victim to the same virus/alien/disaster that created one you attempted to salvage. I can see it now, entire graveyards of ships floating in an ominous cloud around a lifeless alien hulk of a ship.

NekoBlair Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I would also imagine part of the profit to come from exotic "souvenirs" and the sorts, maybe as a collector you'd be able to load your hangar's office with that sort of stuff. This could quickly and easily escalate into some sort of archeology with the potential of some big jackpots along the way. Then again, i should probably stop hyping myself, it's unhealthy. zealpath 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mother Goose Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 You guys will probably need some fuel while running around and salvaging all these wrecks/discovery sites. You may even need some extra storage space *cough* Starfarer Pilot here *cough*. Maybe you'd want a support ship/freighter to move around with you as well!

Puls0nic Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Ever since the Aegis Surveyor got shown, I am now leaning more towards Salvaging than Exploring. Probably still do a mixture of both. Very excited to get more details on what plans they have for this career. The moment I get ingame I am saving up for one of those Surveyor ships. And I think it will be fun to be part of a group that is doing Salvaging together. I will just need me a Jayne Cobb type character as a crewman. zealpath 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mother Goose Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 My plans for my Caterpillar are centered around Salvaging. With a built in tractor already I should be able to make it work. They way they have described it as well is highly modifiable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They way they have described it as well is highly modifiable. This is true, should be perfect for that. Just beware I see Caterpillars becoming huge targets in the future. Simply because they are large, slow, and not very well armed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
