Ability to salvage engineering materials by scrapping unwanted modules.

Dougie · Sunday at 2:58 PM

I have a few FSDs which are not SCO types, I have no use for them any more as I have bought and engineered SCO types in their place. Rather than just selling them off I think it would be great if we were able to have our unwanted modules scrapped (maybe at an engineer?) with the return of some of the engineering materials that had been used to upgrade them.

This has been floated as an idea many times & we're all up for it.
+1
But to date they've not implemented it.

To be fair, and a bit snarky towards Fdev, it really shouldn't be a hard mechanic to add. Especially now when we have fixed engineering rates.

+1 (the 100th time I put a +1 for this suggestion, as well as for ship layouts).

The trouble for this popular suggestion is that because FDev have fixed engineering rates and increased module storage it isn't as necessary as it used to be.

It would still be a nice thing to have.

And it will be soon...I'm already touching the modules storage cap

G5 data is still a frustration. Unless you want to kill a stupid numbre of a factions ships, or do wing delivery missions.

Personally I quite enjoy wake scanning. If only there were reasons to do it. And most have forgotten that you can still base scan settlements, which is one of the few fun things you can do in the SRV but again, not much reason to do it. There's also satellite scans around installations, even stop to shoot some pirates once in a while, but again no reason to do it.
