could you fix salvage drones ? sadly that feature is unfinished , we have no shortcut to use salvage drones since "engage" dont work and salvage drones wont salvage on they own anything but what player kills , other white wrecks made by corp/fleet or blue wrecks have to be set to salvaged manually and without even shortcut for that its annoying...

#1 salvage drones work.

#2 to salvage wrecks automatically you choose "SALVAGE" when you DO NOT have anything targeted.

#3 to salvage wrecks which are not yours you target the wreck then tell the drones to "Salvage" not "Enagage"

#4 yes the "F" key does need to be able to make drones salvage, and im confident this feture is mostlikly being looked at and/or being implemented at a later date.

thats from retribution patch notes.
New Salvage Drones have been added:
Skill: Salvage Drone Operation. Seeded on market.
Small drone (bandwidth 5). Base salvage chance 3% (skill gives 2% per level in addition).
Can be automated to salvage white and blue wrecks.
Can be manually set to salvage any wreck in range by targeting the wreck and choosing to salvage it.

Sorry, I didnt realize how harsh and short that sounded.

no the salvage drones are supposed to auto salvage wrecks (and they do for your own wrecks)
BUT the auto salvage DOES NOT WORK with fleet wrecks which makes them useless for my purposes.


Also

they are hard to use, you have to right click them individually and select salvage (WTF ccp).


Make them a little more intelligent (auto salvage fleet wrecks)

I am very dissapointed in the drones

+1 to making the Salvage Drones function as described in the Retribution 1.0 patch notes.

They currently auto-salvage only wrecks that you create.
They should auto-salvage any white or blue wrecks.

This sounds like A Simple Matter Of Coding (TM). ;)
