Salvage Derelict Structures — When a Pirate Hideout is destroyed, it now converts into a Derelict structure that can be salvaged using your Salvage Laser. Derelicts contain valuable loot and materials from the destroyed hideout. Use your Salvage Laser to extract components before the opportunity is lost.
Note: Salvage Drones will not Salvage Derelicts. Their descriptions have been updated to cover this.
Combat Targeting – It’s always been an issue that you try to click on a moving Pirate, and you end up clicking the space and moving! Last thing you wanted lol. Well for the new Combat screens that have the left-hand Panel, you can now target a pirate by clicking on it in the Panel; this is added, and you can choose to target however you want.
Pirate Hideout – I’ve implemented a tougher stance with the Hideouts, and hopefully, you will find them spawning a bit faster and with more Verve. We shall see, but I need your feedback. Also on this one, players need to hunt/fight where it suits their own personal circumstances. The tagged warnings on Hideouts are based on the LAW LEVEL; nothing else. They do not rate the threat against YOU; they rate the threat based on the law level.
Salvage Skill – You all have a new Skill (one spare one left now). This is the Salvage Skill and will be directly related to YOU Salvaging Derelicts. Initially, you’ll create these by killing the Hideouts. But I have plans for much more use for your Salvage Skill. As mentioned above, the Salvage Drones won’t Salvage Derelicts, so that’s for you! The first Salvage Laser has a Zero Skill req.
Coming Today – Salvage Lasers will be pushed to live (no reset required). We patched in support and prep of this last night and this morning, but I want to go over the Blue Prints for these one more time before pushing.
