Hi all,
I have the feeling that the salvage drones were changed in this VU (they do not salvage automitcally, you always have to arget an object first.

Questions:
1) Is this correct or do I do something wrong? (I give the salvage command when no object is locked!)
2) whjere do I find patch notes?

Did you shoot the rats yourself, or was it another person in fleet?

Another person in same fleet... not possible then?

No, there's a bug were they wont auto-salvage wrecks you didn't create yourself.

Heard some rumor that it's fixed on the test server but haven't bothered checking yet.

Fixed on Sisi

Yes, it's fixed on SIsi. They have been misbehaving since Retribution.
Additionally, we also managed to get the Drone Engage shortcut to send the auto-salvage command. Hopefully that helps you salvage even more :)

Does this mean I can use them in combat again Minamatar ships?

Nope, because our ships might look like wrecks, but they aren't ;).

Can we also fix them coming back to my ship after every salvage before going to the next ship even if they have nothing ?

That's an extraordinary claim. Lol

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Say, can salvage drones open salvage containers in mag sites?

Just tried them on Sisi. They seemed to have completely lost their auto-salvage functionality. I'm not sure if this is a bug or their new feature.

I did a mission and made a bunch of wrecks, came back with my Noctis and before locking anything I gave the salvage command both from the drone window and with the new shortcut, but neither seemed to do anything.

Then I locked some wrecks and gave the salvage command from the drone window; this worked just like it did before (like it does now on TQ), the drones salvage the targeted wreck and then stop. I tried the new salvage shortcut and this worked in the same way, they salvage the targeted wreck and stop.

I currently don't let the drones auto-salvage on TQ. I select a wreck and give the salvage command from the drone window for each wreck so this new shortcut will surely make my salvaging much more comfortable. Thank you CCP =)

I'm not sure about the lost auto-salvage function though. I don't like doing missions on Sisi so I didn't bother to perform a thorough test. It might have been a glitch or something.

Anyway, good change for me =)

Salvage drones have ALWAYS only automatically salvaged YOUR OWN KILLS since introduced. They don't automatically do blues or fleet member wrecks. Nothing to see here (except a poster that doesn't understand something about EveO)
