New Features

Gameplay

Salvage: Structural

Implementing the ability to transform large chunks of metal salvaged from ships into a refinable material.
- Structural salvage is the next step in the salvage profession. Initially, It will bring additional functionality to the two salvage ships, The DRAKE Vulture and AEGIS Reclaimer. It will allow players to convert full ships into the resources RMC and Construction Components that can be sold. It will also bring an update to the way material is stored on the salvage ships. It will introduce the concept of “internal storage” which is a buffer in the ship that will fill. This buffer storage size will depend on the size of the salvaging ship. Once full the virtual storage needs to be emptied using the filler station.
- Salvage Functionality is now split into multiple segments after entering Salvaging Mode (Default Keybind: M):
- Hull Scraping (Default Keybind: G): The Current Salvage System to remove the hull from ships. Ff the Hull is not scraped off the material is lost in the process when moving onto steps 2-3.
- Fracturing Mode (Default Keybind: RightAlt+W): This mode will break up intact ships or derelicts into smaller pieces
- Disintegration (Default Keybind: RightAlt+S): This mode will generate the resource from the broken down pieces
- To start Fracturing Mode on a ship, point to the ship you want to fracture and enter Fracturing mode. Once fracture mode has been started, the ship will then break apart in a certain period of time based on the size of the ship.
- To Start Disintegration Mode, point to the newly fragmented parts of a ship and engage the Disintegration mode to break apart the chunks and collect them into the salvage buffer storage of your ship.
- Once the salvage material fills the buffer storage, have the filler station fill a commodity box and move to the ship’s cargo grid.
  - Please note for this release: Structural Salvage Animations and Audio is not final for this release. Currently the Reclaimer arm will not extend, causing salvage mode to not activate. Please stick with the Vulture for this release.
