Please fix the autosalvage feature on the new salvage drones.

They do not autosalvage fleet wrecks, which makes them to me, and some others I know entirely useless.



Thank you for your time



This is just to sum up the arguments in thread so far.

1. Quit being lazy.

Or

2. Yea, I don't use them because they are broken.








Hey does anyone actually use these things?

Once your done killing rats do not target wreck simply launch drones and command "salvage" and the little buggers go to work, anything beyond certain km you'll have to target then command drones.

This doesn't work for corp/fleet members. This doesn't work for abandoned wrecks.

A dev, Tuxford, says he considers this a bug. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2304050#post2304050

We have not gotten an update on when this might be changed.

AFK Salvaging: The New AFK Mining? Next time on 60 minutes.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Then don't use them and do it the old fashioned way?

I haven't even deployed the salvage drones again after the first try at it when I seen they don't auto salvage my mission runner's wrecks. Do missions with one character, follow in behind with my salvage alt as many people do. Salvage drones are pretty much useless when it comes to using them in that manner.
