Hello,


In its current version, this type of drone is not very useful.

Please add the following options to make the Salvage drone more effective :

1- Add in the Drone menu an option to pick up the loot. (salvage + loot).

2 - Add a new "automatic mode" so that drones can salvage and loot (if option Loot is active) all your wreck for you . You do not need to select each target for your salvage drones.


These two improvements will make this type of drone more effective and we can use them in different situation.

It was by design they were not to pick up loot. As it should be

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

This is not because it was not anticipated in the design that it's good! Shocked

And admit that it's still a little bit stupid. I send my drones on a wreck, but I still have to finish the job because they do not pick up the loot.

Yes, but the slot that used to hold a salvager can be used for a tractor beam instead.

Still have to be 20KM but better than 2500M.

I'd be happy if they automatically salvaged without having to be directed to each wreck....

You can pick up loot in space without the need to sacrifice a high slot for a module. Without salvage drones, can you say the same for salvage?

They are supposed to go automatically to your own wrecks, thoh I wish they went to all white and blue wrecks automatically.
