Salvaging: Difference between revisions

The colour of the wreck icon indicates:

* {{co|grey|Grey icon}}: You have already accessed this wreck

* {{co|yellow|Yellow icon}}: Wreck belongs to another player/corporation/fleet, and may not be looted without incurring a [[Timers#Suspect Timer|suspect timer]] (which allows any other pilot to freely attack you for 15 minutes).  

These are the ship modules, implants, and items which are relevant when fitting a ship for salvaging. Alternatively, salvaging can also be done with [[Drones#Salvage drones|salvaging drones]], which needs no modules, only a drone bay (and which is not affected by any other modules and implants).

=== Uses for salvage ===

The materials obtained from salvaging are used in the [[manufacturing|manufacture]] of [[rigs]], and if you don't want to manufacture rigs yourself there are plenty of manufacturers looking to [[trading|buy]] these materials. Even though individual materials are usually not worth a lot, their value does add up - be aware of potential [[Suicide Ganking|suicide gankers]] when hauling large amounts of salvage.  

However, you can '''salvage''' wrecks belonging to someone else without any game mechanics consequences; this is called [[Ninja Salvaging|"ninja salvaging"]], whereby people salvage without the wreck owner's permission.  

* Tractor beams (ship modules and Mobile Tractor Units) don't work

* Salvage drones will not automatically salvage, but they can be ordered to manually salvage a specific wreck

==== Salvage drones ====

Similarly, when using salvaging drones, take the following setups:

Unlike with modules, where it almost never makes sense to use more than one salvager module on a single wreck, salvage drones will always work together on the nearest single wreck, unless manually commanded to target separate wrecks. Additionally, note that the drones have to travel to the wreck and return to your ship with the salvage, increasing the time they need to salvage.
