Wreckage Salvaging

You are able to buy co-ordinates for wrecks in space at the contracts board, then warp to the co-ordinates to salvage it.

• Note - Supplies rare blueprints to use in research facility on your Space Station - no use unless you have a research facility.

There will be several pieces of wreckage to scan. Rare blueprints will be available only through this method.

Sometimes when you warp to a wreckage location you may not see it... use your mini radar in the top left corner to find the direction of it and move towards it until it is in view range

You use the scanning laser to detect the parts in the wreckage. Careful scanning will be required to ensure you salvage the correct parts in the correct order.

Although a larger salvage beam may be built at your space station shipyard (or purchased from other players) it will do noting to help at this stage of game development.

Some parts will by there nature hide other parts. eg the shields. Some parts may explode destroying other parts when you try to retrieve them. eg the reactor.

As long as parts are retrieved in the correct order, you will be able to collect all parts. You will need to scan first at a lower energy level to determine what it is.

Then Scan it at a higher energy to extract to blueprints of the device. Too high a level will result in no gain. The higher energy scan will most probably destroy the wreckage piece during blueprint retrieval.

Sometimes the resulting explosion will destroy other wreckage fragments nearby. The blueprints can be used on the Research facility on your space station

Information on scan results

- The Class of the blueprint refers to which ship it is used on as per the table in Space Craft

- The type should be obvious, armor, shields, computer, warp drive ect

- Partial blueprint means exactly that, you only have part of it, doing research on the partial will complete it.

- If you get the message already obtained, then you didn't need it and you wasted your money at the contracts board

When you have some partial blueprints, you can research them to full blown blue prints in your research facility, then build them in your shipyard
