What salvage covers in our data

In salvage, ships with salvage heads recover material from wrecks. In our slot data five ships have a salvage head slot.q1 The controls have a dedicated salvage mode with tools for scraping and breaking up.q3 The blueprints list five scraper modules.q2

Boxes ship, salvage head, target/wreck solid; material and cargo dashed; below scraper modules with a question mark.
DiagramSalvage system – overview UNCONFIRMEDShip → salvage head → target/wreck is in our data (slots, salvage entries). Which material results and how it gets into the cargo is dashed – not yet confirmed. Scraper modules exist in the blueprints; where they sit is open.Own graphic · claude-entwurf, 2026-09-11

Ships

Ships with salvage head slots q1From the game data · 4.10.0-hotfix (55227)

“Stock” is the part the ship comes with according to the game data.

NameSlots: Bergungskopf
Drake Vulture2 × size 2 · stock: Baler-Bergungskopf
AEGS Reclaimer2 × size 2 · stock: Baler-Bergungskopf
MISC Fortune1 × size 2 · stock: Baler-Bergungskopf
Argo MOTH3 × size 2 · stock: Baler-Bergungskopf
RSI Salvation2 × size 2 · stock: Salvation Salvage Head

Vulture and Reclaimer have their own guides: Vulture – solo salvage guide and Reclaimer – crew salvage guide.

Components

In our data salvage heads only appear as stock parts in the slots, not as parts of their own with values.q1 Scraper modules and tractor beams are shown in Salvage components explained.

Controls

The main groups:q3

  • Toggle Salvage Operator Mode and Set Salvage Operator Mode.
  • Firing: Toggle Fire Focused, Left, Right, Fracture and Disintegrate – a short tap toggles, holding fires for as long as you hold.
  • Focus: Focus all salvage heads, Focus left/right salvage head, Focus Fracture tool, Focus Disintegration tool.

The full list is below under the Stream Deck functions.

Typical steps

The workflow with all ten steps is in Salvage – from wreck to cargo. You scan targets as described in Scanning – Basics.

What salvaging yields, what it is worth and which ship suits what is not in our data.
