[Echo from Steam]Not so much a bug as something overlooked...

Combat in a Salvage area.

 

If you are in a salvage sector, and bad guys show up, I would recommend running away instead of fighting them. You see, in the salvage sector once a ship is destroyed, it becomes salvage; even if there are still rockets and whatnot flying towards it. Unless you have a salvage permit, you're gonna♥♥♥♥♥♥off the faction that owns the salvage yard. (Missed shots that hit wrecks also are not appreciated)

 

Don;t know how to fix this, but something needs to be done about it before a final release; One big pirate fleet and an admired ally was reduced to mistrustful. Not good.

I bought 1h salvage in a friendly area, went to make my team and left my ship auto salvaging for 20minz, came back and EVERYONE was red and attacking me, it must have happened just after i left because there was loads of "friendly" ships dead around me so yeah.

 

Even with a permit it doesnt seem to work, maybe it just permits everything at that time rather than counting new stuff? Altho i cant see it being that advanced a system so who knows. Rather weird. I might buy an hours worth and go test it out at a later date.

Perhaps it was the fact that you left the sector? The permit holder being you and not the salvaging ship? Did you leave the permit on the salvager? Could be a number of things there. What I was talking about was finding a salvage sector, Pirates or Xsotan show up, and you fight them. As soon as you destroy one of their ships, it becomes salvage and you better have a salvage license or the station you are defending will get mad at you. Weird, But yeah, what you described is wrong too.

 

I suppose I should echo this over on the Avorion forum so the Devs stand a better chance of seeing it. (Done)

Noted, thanks for reporting.

 

My pleasure. It's the least I can do for such a great game that has held my interest for so long. I love this game; yes it still needs work, and some bugs need exterminated, but this game is so versatile and fun, that I doubt I'll be moving on any time soon. I do wish for more information from the devs, but working on the game is priority. Again GREAT work, and I look forward to the next as well as each and every update/improvement that drops.

 

Okay, I know that sounded like I was sucking up or brown-nosing, BUT, it is how I actually and honestly feel, so is it still considered sucking up?
