T2 Ship Salvaging -- Bug or Nerf ?

Hi, thanks in advance for the help.

Salvage skill is at 4.

Tried to salvage two T2 wrecks yesterday, one Helios and one Absolution.

No problem with the Helios but I couldn't lock the Abso wreck to save my life. Jumped out of system once and also docked up to get fresh session timers but no dice. The targeting icon wouldn't work nor anything else.

I've seen pop ups before when i tried to hack can's in a null radar, " you have insufficient skills '' or some such but nothing this time.

I salvaged a Sleip a few months back so I know I used to be able to do it but ..........

So bug report or Nerf. Any idea's.

You need either t2 salvagers or salvage tackles to boost your skill to the point where you can salvage t2. As I understand it, salvaging T2 ships subtracts 20% from your salvage skill. So you need more than that to have a chance.

Wait, you cannot lock the wreck at all?

That would be a bug. I mean even if you couldn't salvage, you should still be able to lock and shoot the wreck to clean it up. Salvaging skill should not impact the ability to lock a wreck.

I have seen what appears to be a bug lately - various objects in overview continue to show up, even after they have left the game. They appear as grayed out and I cannot lock them or do anything else (they do not actually exist) but they do still show in overview. Is this the case?

The helios ( mine ) was lost in the same fight as the Abso . Neither wreck was more then 5 min old. I could clearly see it in space and on the overview but just couldnt lock it no matter how hard i tried.


To respond to Tasko, that's an intersting idea but, I've salvaged t2 ships before with a regular frig with no rigs using a t1 salvager and I've gotten intact armor plates.

I'm so inclined as to just put it down to a patch week glitch. Nothing was mentioned about changed mechanics in the patch notes so was probably just my back luck not to get a juicy salvage drop that day.

Thanks all.

I've had overview bugged that says an object is there when it was nicely blown out from under my t2 salvagers and I'll act a fool and try to lock it a few times before giving up.

Very likely that this is just a temporary glitch. Annoying, but temporary.
