Ok so I took a break for awhile about 2 Versions back and before doing that I had lvl 5 salvaging. Now that I am back I am finding that my lvl 5 Salvaging appears nerfed. The rare salvage seems to drop less often and the salvaging time seems back to when I was at lvl 3 & 4. Has anyone else noticed this and/or is there a Forum thread already for this I did a search but didn't find one?

Nothing has really changed.

Salvaging was made easier and faster with the addition of the ORE Noctis, but that is still optional.

I have noticed lately that salvaging does not seem as profitable. Especially in wormholes the nano ribbon drop rate seems nerfed.
As to salvage time in a non salvage ship it does seem slow though in a noctis salvaged rigged is quicker though drop rates still suck.
I would like to know if they did nerf something. Used to make bank in wormholes from salvage but now seems like making only half compared to a couple of versions ago.

One thing is for sure:

Salvage prices have dropped.

Too much supply for the demand at the old prices.

Prices dropped. More demand came due to cheaper prices.

If the drop rate does slow prices will only stop falling or maybe even rise.

In the long run the drop rate effects the combat pilots far more then those doing salvage.
