Lostdata 44 Posted September 8, 2014 Report post Posted September 8, 2014 Why is that when you salvage one of these weapons you get ALOT less then when you create\manufactor a weapon as you have to have alot more components ( specifically Alien Crystals) I can understand getting somewhat less... but there is a VAST difference .

RennieAsh 5 Posted September 15, 2014 Report post Posted September 15, 2014 Salvaged a whole lot of kits and duplicates of higher tier ones. CC = Computing Chip, Si = Silicon, MB = Metal Blank, Os = Osmium T1 and T2 purple kits give 2x [MB or Si] and 1x [MB or Si]. (With petty artifacts) T1 and T2 green kits give 1 or 2 of MB or Si. T3 green kits 2 of MB or Si. T3 purple kits: (with minor artifacts 11, 15, 22) Nano Cloud: CC[3] + Si[4] IR Pulsar: CC[3] + Si[4] EM Ins Hull: CC[3] + Si[4] Vernier Engines:CC[3] + Si[4] T4 Purple Kits: (Receive 15 or 21 or 30 artifacts depending on Passive Mod, Active Mod or Weapon) RF Blaster CC[5] + Si[6] Nanodrone CLoud Processing Block [3] Missile Shield Processing Block [3] Repair Kit M Screened Battery [2] Coating Polariser Processing Block [3] Auto Charging Station MB [6] + Os [5] Emergency Shield Boost CC[5] + Si[6] Liquid Metal MB [6] + Os [5] Aiming Overcharge CC[5] + Si[6] Engine Overcharge MB [6] + Os [5] Tachyon Charge MB [6] + Os [5] Vernier Engines MB [6] + Os [5] Asynchronous SHield Screened Battery [2] Lightweight Hull Screened Battery [2] Target Tracking Coprocessor CC[5] + Si[6] Armour Plated Hull CC[5] + Si[6] T5 purple Kits: (With 18, 27 or 36 artifacts) Submatter shield Screened Battery [3] + Os [6] If I knew about the kits and salvaged them before I could have saved a few (lots) on the self destruct modules but oh well :) Now I need osmium and graphite and the monocrystals.

millanbel 997 Posted September 23, 2014 Report post Posted September 23, 2014 T5 Mk2 Passive Armour is now giving x5 Computing Chip, x5 Metal Blank I'm wondering what else has changed now in the last patch, and I need to find myself a new cheap source of Graphite Plates. Any ideas what is the cheapest after this change? Cos it's gonna start getting expensive paying 1 million credits for two Plates... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Volkoz 4 Posted October 6, 2014 Report post Posted October 6, 2014 Just added those 2 kits to the google doc list IV mk4 Kit for Plasma Gun, 30 artifacts, 5 Computing chips, 6 Pure silicon V mk4 Kit for Heavy Blaster, 36 artifacts, 3 Screened battery, 6 Osmium crystals Edit: I added 3 columns to the google doc list, the MkI price, the MkII upgrade price and the Total price. Might be useful to find the cheapest options... ;P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RennieAshII 206 Posted October 9, 2014 Report post Posted October 9, 2014 I just tried self destruct and it gives 5 Comp Chips and 5 Metal Blanks like before... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RennieAshII 206 Posted October 9, 2014 Report post Posted October 9, 2014 EM insulation (hull) is still ok... EDiT: Inertial Stabiliser gives 2 Graphite, 3 Metal Blanks and it is the same price and the Enhanced Scanner. Only difference is metal blanks instead of silicon, but I have loads of silicon :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoldiersFortune 425 Posted November 2, 2014 Report post Posted November 2, 2014 So basically, none of the information in the original post is correct anymore? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
residente 717 Posted November 2, 2014 Report post Posted November 2, 2014 So basically, none of the information in the original post is correct anymore? I don't think so because it has been changing a couple of times since I decided to make the thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoldiersFortune 425 Posted November 2, 2014 Report post Posted November 2, 2014 Well, I just confirmed for myself that for all Tier 1-3 items, you get only 2 resources of the same type. So basically you'd be better off building and salvaging Tier 1 items than Tier 3. Osmium crystals are rare. Metal Blanks and Pure Silicon are from pretty much everything. No Graphite Plates, whatsoever. It's only in T4 that you can start salvaging Graphite. And it's only in Tier 4 that they start giving you 2 resource types. Furthermore, I just built and salvaged a T5 Passive Armor. I got 2 Graphite and 3 Pure Silicons. Not Metal Blanks. So they've pretty much nerfed this system into the ground, and Graphite Plates and Osmium Crystals are being used as the choke point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The things given by salvaging also tend to change wildly, apparently, so it's no consistent way of getting resources. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eviscerador 319 Posted November 3, 2014 Report post Posted November 3, 2014 The things given by salvaging also tend to change wildly, apparently, so it's no consistent way of getting resources. The same module will always give you the same amount of resources. Best bang for buck are green selfdestruct module in T5 for plates and chips, and spy drones in T5 for graphite and osmium.

Now selfdesctruct V gives 5 computing chips and 5 metal blanks, and spy drones V 3 metal blanks and 2 graphite plates. Not wildly different, but still.

Mhorbaine 0 Posted November 16, 2014 Report post Posted November 16, 2014 Just thought i'd double check that and salvaged SD V mk 2 - 2x plates/3x silicon - total cost 302.4k for the resources...... guess i'll be using pvp to fund :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
