What this is about
From the salvaged material into the cargo hold. The control functions for tractor beam and loading area are sourced;q1 capacities, output locations and stacking are not in our data.
Material output
Where and in what form the material is output after salvaging we are still checking in game.
Tractor beam
- Tractor Beam Vehicle - Increase Distance and Decrease Distance – for the ship's tractor beam, bound in the default profile.q1
Which tractor beams exist as parts is shown in Salvage components explained.q2
In our slot data Vulture and Reclaimer have no tractor beam slot.q3
Whether they still have a tractor beam – as a built-in part, say – we are still checking.
Storage
Request Cargo Loading requests a loading area when landing.q1
How much cargo a salvage ship holds and how best to stack it is not in our data – so we give no stacking strategy.
Moving cargo
Moving cargo with the tractor beam we describe after the exercise below.
Next: Salvage – transport & sale
