Drones: Difference between revisions

Line 803:

Salvage drones can automatically salvage any nearby (up to the edge of the player's drone control range) wrecks, as long as they belong to the player or their fleet/corporation. Additionally, they can be specifically ordered to salvage wrecks belonging to other players (marked in yellow on the [[overview]]), although this must be done manually for each wreck. When a drone successfully salvages a wreck, it will return to your ship to drop off the salvage (into your ship's cargo bay) before immediately heading back out into space. Salvage drones have an MWD that is always running, but are still very slow (about 10% slower than the slowest heavy drone), so salvaging more distant wrecks may take some time.

Making salvage drones salvage wrecks automatically can be tricky. If you target a wreck and command your drones to salvage it they will not move to a new wreck after they are done. Instead, ~~you need to select~~ the drones ~~(such as through the drone window) and command them~~ to salvage ~~(either in right click menu or in the~~ selected ~~item window)~~. After this, the salvage drones will keep on salvaging all wrecks that are in range.

Making salvage drones salvage wrecks automatically can be tricky. If you target a wreck and command your drones to salvage it they will not move to a new wreck after they are done. Instead, order the drones to salvage without having any target selected. After this, the salvage drones will keep on salvaging all wrecks that are in range. Note that they will all focus on the closest wreck first, and work their way further away. To be more efficient, zip around the battlefield (looting or orbiting something) so that the 'closest' wreck changes often; or micromanage them by assigning individual wrecks to salvage. They will auto-salvage after they finished on their assigned wreck if they have been given that command earlier, resuming their closest-to-furthest routine.
