{{example|1=A beginner salvaging pilot with {{sk|Salvaging|III}}, fits her ship with a single Salvager I module, and tries to salvage a small basic wreck. The base chance to salvage a small basic wreck is 30%, and her skills and module give her a bonus of 3 * 5% = 15%. Therefore, her chance to salvage the wreck on each cycle of her salvager module (10 seconds) is 30% + (3 * 5%) = 45%. On average, it will therefore take 2.2 cycles (22 seconds) to salvage the wreck.<ref>For details on the math, see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expected_value expected value] on Wikipedia</ref>.

Buoyed by her initial success, the pilot heads to more remote areas of space, and encounters large basic wrecks. Her chance to salvage these is 10% + (3 * 5%) = 25%; therefore, on average, it will take 4 cycles (40 seconds) to salvage each wreck. Heading deeper into space, she encounters small advanced wrecks (chance to salvage 0% + (3 * 5%) = 15%, taking 6.7 cycles (1 minute and 7 seconds) on average) and even some sleeper large advanced wrecks (chance to salvage -20% + (1 * 5%) = -5%; she will not be able to salvage these wrecks).

Determined to increase her salvaging efficiency, she trains up her Salvaging skill to level V, and installs a Salvager II module. With this setup, her chance to salvage a large basic wreck is 10% + (5 * 7%) = 45%; on average, it will take her 2.2 cycles (22 seconds) to salvage. Even a sleeper large advanced wreck succumbs to her salvaging powers, within 6.6 cycles on average.}}
