I had this idea for recovering minerals used to build ships when they are destroyed.
Currently when a ship is lost you get a can that has most or all the items you had equiped and what was in your cargo bay. There is no other indication that your ship ever exsisted or that a battle took place.
Idea: When a ship is destroyed let a couple of items that were equiped remain, maybe the cargo, and the hulk of the ship burnt and broken. Over then next 24hrs allow the ship to break up until there is nothing left, but while it is still in exsistance let a specail ship come and recover a portion of all the minerals it took to build the ship.
To do this you would need to create a salvage ship.
Now I am not sure if you want to do this with npc ships but it sure would be neat to see it on player owned vessels.
Its just an idea

I see a room for exploitation here (it is a great idea though).
Say corp member A insures ship and gets it on purpose destroyed... Now if you can salvage minerals from it (unless it is really small % of total used to build the ship in first place ), you could presumably get more money out of it that it costs to buy new ship+insure it...
Any thoughts?
Your Heavy Neutron Blaster II perfectly strikes Serpentis Chief Sentinel, wrecking for 660.4 damage.

Think this idea has been mentioned before, would be very interesting, if it ever gets implemented.
And about the exploitation...well, the amount / type of minerals which could be salvaged from such a burning wreck should be random, between max 35 and min 10 % of the required minerals for building (in ME 0)
So in generall you would at max get the insurance cost through the minerals + the insurance money itself...at best you would (should, to lazy to do the maths) make 0 profit.
Sounds not much, but i see a whole new branche of "Scavenger" pilots looting the burning remains after a large scale battle, while hiding from the remaining forces between the glowing wrecks...
Patience wins. |
