From my experimentation recently it looks like your drones will salvage all your fleets' wrecks if you are the fleet boss.

More tests necessary to be sure but it looks like we may have a work-around.



Nice catch if this is a solid work-around.

Do you have to be fleet boss during the creation of the wrecks or will becoming one after they are created work?



Too bad one of the recent stealth patches hasn't whipped these malfunctioning drones into shape.....

I haven't run enough tests yet - evidence so far is based on 5 lvl 3 missions with a corpmate

3 missions where I was the boss - my drones salvaged all wrecks
2 missions where he was the boss - my drones salvaged only my wrecks

In all cases the fleet boss was determined before entering the mission and not changed during.

Sounds pretty repeatable and conclusive to me. Maybe the dev's will note your efforts and find a fix. Well done!


I'll have to see if I can crash a corp mate's fleet, take over fleet boss and see if that enables "all salvage" mode. Cross your fingers!

Acquiring Boss in fleet after wrecks have been created by fleet does not let you engage true auto-salvage mode. You're stuck with individual targeting.

Just as a FYI. The fix has been on Singularity for a while and is ready to be rolled out with Retribution 1.1

"The fix" - perhaps a bit of detail on what it is would be nice?

salvaging corp wrecks in space: CHECK Attention (not tested yellow)
Salvaging trough drone attack shortcut: CHECK Attention (targeted/targetless wreck)
and thats the only thing Cry

Atleast we(I) can deal with it :)

Can we expect any more future AI upgrade on these drones?
Like give give these buggers 0,5 M3 cargo or some kind, so they are able to salvage multiple wrecks until it's full and home-phone-ship, drop the salvage and resume the party with the rest of the group. (and not dumb start closest, end furthest)
