after the battle I was able to only recover the legion (has automated ship), an eagle and an enforcer but not the onslaught, which I thought it was always recoverable but not 100%.

Anyway only the legion had the automated ship hull mod on it not the other recovered ships.

I had a hegemony commission and forced the fight after getting the planet killer (may be relevant)

Thank you for the report! Do you happen to have a save from before the fight? I'd love to take a look.

I've tried reproducing the issue the same way (using the Hegemony commission to bypass the defenses, then fighting them afterwards) but it's been working correctly for me. Did you happen to recover the ships right after the battle, or from the debris afterwards, by the way?

Edit: ah, I think I've got it - the bug requires saving and then loading the game while the fleet is spawned. And then story-recovery derelicts seem to not have "automated ships" etc... hmm.

Is this bug also causing Ziggurat to not have its SHIP_LIMITED_TOOLTIP effect in the initial encounter? Might want to check if that's fixed too.

Thank you! Different issue, actually - the behavior there should have changed to "hide info unless it's unlocked in the Codex", but I forgot to add the right tag ("limited_tooltip_if_locked") to the ship. Fixed just now.

Not all Sentinel XIV ships have the Automated Ship hullmod—some may appear as standard variants. Recovery of ships like the Onslaught isn’t guaranteed and depends on battle outcome, skills, and RNG. Hegemony ties may affect fleet composition. Writing a dissertation proposal felt harder than the actual dissertation. I had ideas, but structuring them into a proposal was a nightmare. I decided to find professional dissertation proposal help and came across https://academized.com/dissertation-proposal-help The writer at Academized not only helped refine my topic but also formatted everything according to my university’s guidelines. It passed without a single revision needed, and I finally felt like I was heading in the right direction.

Now in 0.98a-RC7, can confirm that the Sentinel ships do seem to drop correctly immediately after battle. However...

In the post-battle second salvage, if one of the ships drops, it appears that it still loses the Automated Ship hullmod and its S-mods. I'll send along a save file from right after the battle, and you can salvage the post-battle debris field to check it out for yourself if you need.
