EVE New Citizens Q&A

Hey guys I been trying my hand at ninja salvaging and sometimes I see wrecks that are solid in color ( yellow) and other times i see a non solid wreck. What is difference between the two ? Also sometimes when i am salvaging it says you failed that wreck has already been salvaged. Does this mean that the owner of the wreck got it right beorfe I did?

1) To my understanding, any wreck is fair game for salvaging. It is when you loot the contents of a yellow wreck that you could incur the wrath of the "owner."

2) If you are using multiple salvagers on the same target, the ones that finish their cycle after one that successfully salvages (or "fails to salvage anything of value") will illicit the "already been salvaged" message because... well... you already salvaged it.

-White belongs to you or your fleet or your corp or someone you are blue to
-Yellow belongs to someone else
-Blue is free to take from and can be tractored.

Filled in means it has cargo inside, hollow triangle is empty with no loot.

The message you get is probably caused by you running multiple salvagers. Salvager A successfully accesses the wreck making it disapear, Salvager B tries to run the next cycle and finds nothing is there and gives you the message.

And before you ask, nothing you do changes the amount of salvage you get form a wreck, the salvage is determined at the same time loot is, but unlike loot you don't know if the wreck even has any until after you access it.

The benefit of training to T2 salvagers and using salvage tackles is that they increase the chance of successful access so that you don't have to do as many "dice rolls" to see a result and in the end means you salvage faster.
