salvage

Out of curiosity I decided to visit one of those “degraded signal” spots in system to see what was there. Turns out to be space wreckage with scoopable materials. So I scooped up some materials. Later in station I noticed in my inventory the items listed as “stolen.” I am wondering why they are...

Status: IN STOCK [25/5/25] Current distance to SOL: ~1000 LY Platform: PC

This has been on my wishlist for ages. Finally got it last week It seems super complicated and daunting at first, but once you get into it it's pretty good. I'm enjoying exploring derelicts and salvaging parts while trying to pay off an $800000 loan on my ship and not dying...

This is a proposal to revamp the current salvage system in use within Elite. New Currency - Scrap Salvage: Scrap salvage can only be obtained through direct salvage or salvage missions. Processing salvaged modules/ships yields Scrap Salvage as a byproduct, while still returning other items...

Hi, I'm just about 5K LY away from the bubble and I'm running around systems that have not been explored before (no "First Discovered by" tags anywhere). I spotted this one planet with a single geological site on it so I landed and discovered a crash site not far away from there. There were 4...

First of all this will be a long one, since I had a lot of time to think during my time on DW II When I first started Elite my go-to Missions were Salvage Missions. I scooped up countless Black Boxes, Art Pieces and whatnot else before I learned of Collector Limpets and even then I just loved...

Why is this not in game ATM Scavenge having a system set to very poor status just littered with USS wreckage scavenge sites?? (but detailed sites holding parts, modules, weps ship parts, to be sold on, maybe centred around a doomed station, Its great BGS, a little like the BGS you have just...

So Debris Fields. I visited my first one the other day, after stumbeling upon a few on a random mission. And lets face it, they are kinda empty and meaningless at this point. That's why we are here now: To discuss, how to improve Debris Fields. Make the Debris Fields an Dynamic Zone. Around...

Step 1: Use your advanced scanner or scan the Nav Beacon to get the planet location. If using the advanced scanner didn't give you a planet then go scan the Nav Beacon. Step 2: Target the planet and then fly to the planet and then do a 'fly by'. By fly by I mean flying close enough to the...

It would be good to see content in game that we can crash land our ship for example: Example 1: Orbital cruise coming into land to quick and able to skid along the ground causing surface damage and ship damage then coming to a stop on the ground NO landing gear etc, and being able to make...

I would like to see much more made of Salvage game play. With this in mind I have a suggestion. Implement Salvage missions to find an object but that object is not just shown in your contacts when you get to the suitably large debris field of ship wreckage or suitable maze like planetary...

Essentially this game's version of the Tractor Beam. Installation: My thinking is that it would be a two part installation 1.) An Ionic Field Generator taking up one small optional internal compartment. 2.) An Ion Beam Emitter using an external Utility Mount. Missions: 1.) Large Debris...

Hi there, today I got myself engaged in some rescue missions at stations attacked by thargoids and really enjoyed it! Finally a use case where smaller, mor agile ships are of use! So I wanted to discuss what kind of loadout you find to be the most effective. Here are some of the insights I got...

I'm asking this in the newcomers' forum, because I'm imagining it's something well known which I've just not come across before, and/or am too stupid to figure out. I was collecting some salvage from a shipwreck on a planet's surface, for a mission. There were some skimmers guarding it, easy...

Salvaging as it stands consists of collecting items from USS sites, but I find this unfulfilling. It’s pretty much a spreadsheet excercise. Go to this type of system, go to this type of place, find this kind of thing. I’d like to suggest some new ideas for the ‘next round’ of engineering. My...
