So I finally got my CV improved and armed and went out to shoot down a 'Company Cruiser' which has been sneaking up on my SV and shooting at me while I was harmlessly mining asteroids. It was quite exciting because it was my first real fight. Now the back of the cruiser is pretty much gutted out because it seemed like it couldn't shoot at me very well when I was behind it, and I took advantage of that. There isn't any cargo to salvage. What do I do with it? I can't find the core, and blowing up the remaining blocks until I might find it isn't worth the ammo. At least it can't shoot at me anymore ... But it's such a waste ...
You can use an EVA boost in armour to go in and hunt for the core, like any POI. You can then salvage whatever is left. That's what I would do at least.
I did, and some guards were shooting at me. Apparently the crew is resistant to the vacuum of space ... So I took my SV out of the hangar and shot the guards and went back in. There was someone in the cockpit still, and I blew it up with a shot of my plasma cannon. They shouldn't have made me their enemy ... It's a pretty big ship, and the core could be anywhere. I need a stronger multitool, or I'd have to spend many hours taking it block by block. I'd sure get a lot of steel plates, but I'm getting a lot of iron from crushed stone which I get anyway from mining through solar powered constructors in my refinery, so it isn't worth the multicharges and my time. Or is there a better way to salvage it?
there is a tool for CV called multitool, no charges needed, is like your hand multitool. you can use it to salvage or if own core is placed grab blocks with it. if you got a harvest controller installed will deposit your stuff in it. but yeah it is pretty much stuck block by block. cv tools only work in space. personally, when i go into a salvage operation and only take the choice items, linked to my cv by logistics and salvage by hand. most of the hull blocks i just leave behind, unless needing some of the mats where cv multitool is faster at it.
Yeah, I put a tool turred on my CV and only later figured out what it does. I kinda feels like being a firefighter with its beam eating up a ship. But I was wrong with what I said about the multitool, I couldn't salvage anything since I can't find the core. So the tool turret probably won't work on that ship. I ran into another Warlord ship just now, and the core was easy to find. It has some salvagable stuff because I had changed the targets of the turrets, and I shot the bridge with rockets. It was quickly disabled. I also got a T2 multitool today I bought on a pirate asteriod station I discovered, and it works much better than the standard multitool. PS: Wow just while I was salvaging, another ship showed up and attacked me, and I disabled it, too. Some of my weapons are running out of ammo ...
