Undermining by handing in Salvage
- Thread starter ShimEnki

No idea, and I haven't seen anyone else say that they've got this to work either.
It says that collecting the salvage is sufficient, but that doesn't seem to give merits itself (I guess it's possible that it counts towards the system but not your personal progression? That would be tough to confirm)
Fortify systems need it to be handed in to get the merits, and that doesn't work for undermining.
(Though you can hand in salvage collected in an undermining system there to get fortification merits)
I'm guessing a bug, or the manual is wrong, or both.

Try Power Wreckage USS (something like that) - scan the Nav Beacon to see them, or FSS if you are a maniac. They contain Escape Pods / Black Boxes / Wreckage that can be handed in via the Power contact. I struggled to find anywhere that would offer merits - but just tried a Control and that worked for all types of salvage that the Power contact offered.
Thanks. I was thinking there must be a source for this salvage outside the power wreckages. I was settling nicely into the salvage thing until they ramped up the npc difficulty today. Now even in level 2 threat uss's 4 -6 ships are already there waiting and took my very engineered corvette's shields to 50% fast and then I only obtained 1 unit each of the 3 items available (pods, wreck and blackbox) Just not worth it for me now. Same as down and uploading data and taking out security enemies at settlements (which is my fav); the notoriety I gain from any real focus in doing this means that I cant sell mining rss later til the bloody notoriety bleeds off, not to mention that we can ONLY apply mining rss against the 1 power...as if rss arent needed in the war effort against the rest of them. This game is awesome, truly yet the devs, it seems, bend over backwards to _____ it via restrictions almost at every junction.
