Title: your best random salvaged ship findings
Post by: Chronosfear on April 21, 2017, 09:43:29 AM: Hey Guys,
since I´m really feeling lucky with this random salvage I found when traveling home from the edge of the Sector.
What your finest random salvaged ship ?

Its in bad shape, I know but the weapons alone are worth a ton.
Will probably restore it to peak condition when I have the money ::)

And as you can see, the one on the top was from ONE fight! It was with a battle station!

I fought a station and got about half of that.

Now I'm jealous.

I had max salvage related skills and also fought the hardest one. You might have faced a lower/ easier version

Wait, there are more stations than one? I also keep reading about a REDACTED Mothership or something. Cruiser and stations are the biggest I've seen. Guess I have some exploring to do.

Motherships are part of the Domain faction while the battlestation that I fought is part of the Remnants. Motherships are considered stations but are much easier that battlestations, especially officered ones

For stations, look for warning beacons that put out two or three pings. 2 pings is an officerless station. 3 is an officered one. Sadly they battlestations don't regen...

Annnd I ran into an officered [REDACTED] that completely wiped my fleet, including 3 capital class warships and 3 cruiser class carriers. Pretty impressive.

Here Be Redacted

Most you'll see is a few frigates in those systems
Title: Re: your best random salvaged ship findings
Post by: goduranus on April 25, 2017, 10:28:53 PM: I noticed that most good ships are in named star systems, (eg Stella Libre, as opposed to Alpha Terror)
I suspect these may be handcrafted systems. If another player goes to the same place, he may find the same ship there.
So, guys where did you find your salvage? Let's all post where we found our loot and have another player check if he can find the same loot in the same star system?

The Paragon, from I think the debris field around the Stargate in Freya

My current best find. On my first salvage run of a new start too. Complete with a full fighter complement, four gravitons and a hurricane MIRV.

Not entirely sure I'll have enough fuel to get it back home tbh.

Post by: The_Mess on April 26, 2017, 07:43:08 PM: Found a D class Paragon, the engines are stuffed, so it's slowing my fleet down significantly, but she's mine.

And since no Paragon's are available for sale it's the only one in my fleet ;-;

That was actually a little thing that I thought was awesome - nearly every time you find a tanker, it will have a significant amount of fuel (based on it's size) available for salvage. It makes sense and that makes it all the more awesome. Things like that get missed so often.

Post by: Tacheyon on April 27, 2017, 05:11:40 PM: While not the best thing I've found the most interesting and useful was a Brawler(TT) right after starting with only Glitched Sensors and armed with an Ion Pulser. Having that in my fleet saved me more then a few times and I never knew Tri-Tacheyon had it's own modified ships, bonus knowledge.

Post by: Cosmitz on April 27, 2017, 07:19:13 PM: I love the extra layer of randomness.. Found this beauty, with Dmods ofc, like right out of tutorial. Took me a long while until i had the money for it. Total project ship.
