Salvage drones are pretty cool IMO. Not as good as a dedicated Noctis, but useful in some situations.
One nitpick however is that they work great as long as you don't target an wrecks. This is problematic as they work well combined with a Marauder where you may be using its tractor bonuses as well.
If no wrecks are targeted and you right click on your drones and choose salvage, they will go to town in fully automated mode.
If you have even one wreck targeted, they will salvage that one wreck and then go idle.
I'd propose an option similar to mining drones where you have a choice of "mine repeatedly". Give an option to "salvage repeatedly" so they just keep going. |

This issue has been brought up multiple times in the past.
I give it a thumbs up though.

Be nice if they didn't all hit the same one too.
/wishlist.
The irony of course being telling combat drones to focus fire is like herding cats sometimes, whereas salvage drones are focused with laser like precision on the same targets  |

I'd just suggest a 'salvage field' or 'salvage all' option rather than a 'salvage repeatedly' button, other than that :- +1
For posting an idea into F&I:
come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it.....
If your idea can be abused, it WILL be. |

I'd rather if they didn't all go after the same small wreck every time. But this is pretty good too +1 |

Salvage drones reward micro-management. Once I realized I could clear a blockade mission in a small fraction of the time it normally takes by targeting wrecks and assigning one salvage drone to each wreck, I stopped complaining. They can burn through salvage at ludicrous speeds with just a few extra clicks. |

The 'mine repeatedly' logic is tricky, as mining drones continuously mine from one asteroid several times before it pops, whereas wrecks only require one chance-based success roll to expire and don't require return trips. The function is/would have to be significantly different.
Otherwise +1! |

+1! Definitely agree with this. It's soooooo annoying.
It basically means that you can't use salvager mods and drones on the same ship, because one requires targeting and the other requires that you don't target. Not sure why this hasn't been fixed already. Maybe it need to be brought up in the rubicon feedback thread as an issue rather than a new idea. |
