Where’s my loot?
Since Revalations chapter 1 came online I’ve found that looting is a bit of a pain in the butt.
One of the minor problems they patched, straight away, is you couldn’t tag which wrecks you’d already investigated, but one of the bigger problems, and an issue I think will affect new players, is that the ‘drop rate’ of any loot is very low.
Alongside this, they’ve introduced ’salvage’. TO salavage, you need:
Survey at 5 - salvage at one - and a survey module. IF you manage to salvage anything, it gives you raw materials to build or rebuild rigs. But from all I’ve been told, the salvage percentage isn’t great - and improves when you increase your salvage skill.
Has anyone else noticed this, or have my experiences just been at the ‘crappy’ end of the draw?

I have been geting a fair bit of salvage loot from level 4 missions with level 4 salvaging. Its set to change on Wednesday, hopefuly for the better. Some rats dont drop any salvage at all though, Mercenaries, Rouge Drones and ‘The Seven’ dont afaik.

[…] I’m curious. How many of you are enjoying the patch, and what’s niggling? A couple of days ago, I posted the ‘where’s my loot‘ post - I’m thinking (I know) I’m not the only person that’s found it a bit wierd - there’s the looting AND Salvage, something they are addressing today I think. […]
