Patch notes indicate that salvage should be dropping from entities that did not drop salvage before.
Can anyone update those poor souls that have to earn a living at this time of day?

update in what way new things will drop wreck material and CCP will add some further balance based upon data statistical anaysis expect some things to drop more others to drop less and its also more faction related ( serpentis will drop gallente realted wreck material) meaning some cross region stuff will be needed or NPC missions in low sec high sec and 0.0 space

Guristas now drop 'Conductive Polymer' and 'Damaged Artificial Neural Network' in addition to what they did before.
It also seems like the amounts of the normal 7 types have not been reduced (i.e. that the total dropped is higher). This is not certain, but seemed so from the one mission I've salvaged.
General advice: Stop whining! |

Ok, cool. The DANN got seeded to something in addition to the new drones.
What about the other entities? EoM, Thukkers, Mercs...etc ? Any word on those dropping salvage?

I just did an Infiltrated Outposts, and can confirm that rogue drones are now salvageable. They seem to have the same drop possibilities as the 0.0 drones. Dropping a lot of different components. Sadly no DANN for me, though that is probably down to luck or lack of it.

Edited by: SlackJawedSlayer on 30/01/2007 19:12:23 Just ran my regular 5/10 rogue drone.
First swarm parasite worker BS i salvaged dropped no less then 7 Power Circuits
So i was feeling pretty good... until now, when ive realised that no of the overseers with the all important keys to the next level are spawning... but everything is salvageable (to a tiny extent)

I've managed to salvage mercs. DANNs have definitely been added. I just salvaged a bunch of drones, and got stuff from all across the border. However, I did manage to salvage alot of scrap metal too, from mercs and pirates ( oh joy). I wasn't getting scrap from pirates before.

also a new pirate type has been added - "Mission Generic *shiptype*", from the Stop the Thief missions. watchout, as these dont appear on overview, but must be added via right clicking them in space. plus, they drop TONS of scrap metal =(

Yeah, I'm not sure why they're giving us scrap metal now. ><
"Yeah, we reduced salvage volume by 1/10 but now we're giving you 500m3 of scrap metal to make up for it."
Navy NPCs in missions (like Human Cattle) are blowing up into pirate wrecks. For me, Thukker NPCs (who had their own overview setting now) dropped Angel wrecks, Caldari navy dropped Gurista wrecks and Ammar navy dropped... oh crap I forget what their wrecks were named. Something beginning with "S" though. --- Should CCP enact toll gates? Discuss it here! |

At a guess, I'd say Sansha. Which would leave Blood Raider for Minmatar and Serpentis for Gallente.

I am not sure but I think scrap metal is the "here's what you could have won" equivalent for salvaging. If your skills are high enough then you get parts. If not, then for each part you could have salvaged you get a piece of scrap metal.
Could be wrong, but that is how I would have done it. |

My skill is at 4 and I have 3 salvaging rigs, still got scrap metal from mercenaries. Haven't gotten any from the regular pirates though.

Drones drop salvage - some of it metal scraps but some of it stuff that I have never picked up before in Devoid.
Sentry guns also drop salvage. -- (Battle hardened industrialist)

Salvage 4 w/one salvage tackle here, and I also got a metal scrap from a merc wreck.
So far, it looks pretty good. Thanks to the CCP folks for straightening this out, it just felt bad to loot a wreck, and leave it's carcass floating.

7 undamaged salvage bits from a deadspace NPC? That's sweet. T2 rig production, here I come :D Exploration Items, T1 Rigs, T2 Rig BPCs and More! |

Hehe, had a fun time with Silence the Informant last night. For some reason I kept taking damage and there was no red flashies. Added the smaller Generic..and shot them....still taking damage, so added the next set...finally found the damn BS and killed it off too.
First mission in a long time my CNR tank almost had me warping out. Drone support for the win!

I have still not seen structures drop loot and have salvaged 2long lvl 3 missions since the patch (salvage lvl 4). But it does seem in general that the drop rates are somewhat higher than previous.

Does that serve a useful purpose Mastin, having those three salvage rigs? I havenÆt been using those rigs because I reasoned that an ôincreased chance of salvage retrievalö was no different to fitting an extra salvager module (reduced time, same salvage).
Otherwise, post patch, I got a very low recovery off a 4/10 complex though it had been run recently as another personÆs wrecks were still floating. No salvage from structures I donÆt think. Armour plates seemed a new Blood Raider drop
I then salvaged for someone a level 3 mission Guristas æpirate invasionÆ and recovered 120 units or so which is about 30% higher than I was expecting. One DANNetwork and some Conductive Polymer which seem new from them.
Only those two observations so far.

Edited by: Viktoria Maher on 31/01/2007 23:07:23 You can add to the wreck salvage database to help build a better view of what generally drops now and in what quantities. Wreck Salvage Database
Or just see what others have reported.

Aye, I was running an agent that gave about 35% gurista, and I have never found a polymer from them. That is new.
Nice to see that they've spread a few items around a bit. Just need to find the 2nd source for alloyed trit bars now, lol.

What they should do is let those people that want scrap metal, salvage those big ruins, debris and other stuff we can't now. Just have it give metal scraps 100% of the time.
