Bounty and salvage

I played this mission on 23 Sep YC124 (Eram 0.8). Very scarce rewards and VERY tough opponents (high resistance). I killed all hostile ships and got bounty of 8.5M ISK (not 10M as indicated in article). I salvaged all ship wrecks and got salvage materials about 690k ISK (estimated) - again difference from article. Please confirm such lower value of rewards before changing the article. -- Reynard147 (Talk) 19:24, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

The bounty depends on the ship types encountered. For example when we look at Assault frigate wave 2 it is reported as 3 elite frigates of the type Arch Gistii Ruffian and/or Arch Gistii Nomad. The ruffian has a bounty of 22,500 ISK and the Nomad of 23,625 ISK. So a wave of 3 Ruffians is 67,500 ISK and 3 Nomads is 70,875 ISK, a difference of 3,375 ISK for that wave. With the Ruffian and the Nomad being somewhere in the middle of the bounty value spread the difference could be more. That is an explanation of the difference in bounty value. Also Angel Assault Frigate is not one of the normal names for Angel Cartel ships. They are most likely renamed for this mission. When they are, the Type column of the overview contains the regular name, which determines the bounty value. If your salvage value includes the loot picked up from the wrecks, for a normal frigate that could be nothing or quite regularly a piece of scrap metal(Est. ~860 ISK) but I once got a M-36 Enduring Warp Disruption Field Generator(Est. ~3.6M ISK), quite a bit of difference. Bottom line there is quite a bit of randomness in the bounty and salvage/loot values, it are not hard numbers. -- Evon R'al (talk) 11:35, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

Additional damage types

Seems the hostiles do EM and Thermal in addition to Explosive and Kinetic. Mohoao Miripi 27 October 2023

The damage types noted on the article are not necessarily all damage types. Only the most "important" ones. Feel free to edit if other damage types are more important, or add notes if specific ships have specific damage types. -- Evon R'al (talk) 11:29, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
