Rubicon 1.1 Update: Day of patch.

I am hoping that this is simply a mistake, and is not an intentional 'fix'.

When I order Salvage Drones to Salvage amongst a pile of Wrecks, they no longer seek/salvage.

The Wrecks belong to me, and I used a Mobile Tractor Unit to draw them in.

Update: Locking onto Wrecks and then ordering the Drones to salvage will work, but then they will go idle once finishing. This makes Salvage Drones practically useless, as the same can be done with Salvager, so... this has to be broken.

I'm having the same problem and I didn't see anything about that in the patch just than the drones just something about the control range I really it goes back to normal.

Having the same issue here as well.

Surrender is still your slightly less painful option.

Another issue, my salvagers no longer seem to be able to salvage shadow serpentis wrecks, they don't even register any 'Salvage attempt failed...' messages. This has happened at least 5 times now and I've left the salvage drones running for a good ten minutes to make sure.

I get this issue too. The only fix I've been able to find thus far, not including the currently downloading patch is to have something that's NOT a wreck targeted and send them to salvage.

Tried the suggested workaround last night, salvage drones still don't salvage shadow serpentis wrecks it seems
