Scrap Metal!
With Salvage skill level IV
Ok, now, c'mon, really?
Salvage is odd. I thought I saw a specific post saying we were supposed to get something neat-o from player ships, or at least better materials?
This is just getting stranger and stranger.

Yeah, I salvaged a couple player ships and so far only scrap metal.
I salvaged a couple shuttles and figured "okay, it's 10k isk... no big deal"
Yesterday I saw a covetor wreck and salvaged... first it said "You need 10m3 of free space" and I figured oh boy, this should be good. I unloaded some gear (had maybe 5m3 left of free space in my cargo) and salvaged the ship only to get... you guessed it... scrap metal.

yea, there seems to be a need for a minimum return on salvaging if the target is tech2 or officer spawn.
fought a ares 1v1 in my malediction, won with 6% struct left (what a fight, never seen an ares flown like that before). called in a corp mate to salvage.
with a 15% chance of success, he had to go 20+ cycles to get success (multispec of doom in reverse) only to get....NOTHING.
tech2 ships should always give something.

Edited by: Danton Marcellus on 04/12/2006 17:42:47 So scrap metal refining finally will pay off then, turning these into rare reactions when melted?
Probably not.

I heard a nasty rumour that the salvaging rewards have not been seeded propperly in the game. I don't want to scare anyone, but it would explain these complaints.

You can't get high end components *every* time you salvage, so which is better for you? Succeeding sometimes and getting scrap metal or out right failing each of those time you would have gotten scrap metal?
Somehow I think people would complain about either. -- Lil Miner Newbie Skills Roadmap | CCG Card Lookup |

yea because getting something that refines into 10trit from a ship worth over 20mil everytime is awesome! ------------------------------------------ My opinions are my own and not that of the alliance I belong to. |

I salvaged 8 Minmatar Elite Frigate wrecks, 2 Gallente Elite Frigate wrecks, 1 Caldari Elite Frigate wreck, and 1 Minmatar Elite Battlecruiser wreck after a battle yesterday. I got one component from one of the Minmatar Elite Frigates, and two from the Minmatar Elite Battlecruiser, that's it. I find this a bit ridiculous. Sure a 6k rat could drop nothing, but tech two ships should always drop something. The salvage from T2 ships are rarer items though. Basically remove the damaged/contaminated/fried/charred/etc. from the normal salvage, and change the icon from orange to blue and that's what they are. Used for tech two rigs. _______________

Ok, so I guess I'm ultra-lucky to have salvaged an Interface Circuit (T2 version of Kentucky Fried Interface Circuit I guess) from a Cerberus wreck then, eh ?
By the way, that was with L3 salvage (had to wait for it to complete only about 18 minutes, ultra-luck nice timing part two), and that was the ONLY player ship I ever salvaged (no other T2s nor T1s).
Originally by: Barthez Thed I heard a nasty rumour that the salvaging rewards have not been seeded propperly in the game. I don't want to scare anyone, but it would explain these complaints.
[sarcasm] You think ?[/sarcasm]
No, seriously, I can't believe missionnavy/missiondrones wrecks NOT giving EVER a single piece of salvage to be intentional, so yeah, you can say salvage table was implemented so far pretty feet-first, check-later. _____ -sig-

maybe thinking before posting might work for you kids.
know why you dont get stuff every time? can you guess?
guess not.
the reason is that so the guys that controle the T2 ship market dont go hog wild and make ships just to blow up so they can get richer and control yet another big area of the market.

Stuff like this tends to come pre-nerfed ready for a balance cycle later on.

I salvaged a t2 frig that was fully fitted w/ t2 and named gear and got nothing, not even scrap metal. I also salvaged 2 commander spawns and a hauler spawn, again getting nothing from any of them. They all took forever to salvage too. I had level 3 at the time of the rats, level 4 for the t2 frig. (If you don't have the proper skill level, it says that right and doesn't just let you salvage for ages and return nothing?) Is there a reason to take salvage to lvl 5? Slightly off topic but is there a need to take hacking and archeo to lvl 5?

To quote many others
'Salvage should be an uber hardcore aspect of the game, quit whinging as it's great to be a masochistic gamer with no brains and too much time'
Personally, I think salvaging is painfully pre-nerfed and is very weird that you actually get better materials from someone elses wrecks than your own.

So, just out of curiosity, has anyone managed to salvage anything other than scrap metal at the present time?

Salvage and Rigs is a huge dissapointment. Tech 1 is going to be expensive as hell and T2 is going to be uber rare... - It's great being Minmatar, ain't it? |

I currently have like 6 T2 components for T2 rigs I got form elite ships. So yes, I managed to salvage stuff other then scrap metal. Try something bigger then shuttles and frigates next time...

I was just curious, I won't have the capability to try it until after the patch on Tuesday. Believe me, I won't be starting out on shuttles and frigates
