Review path and sources

Editorial in-game review

Nobody from the editorial team has flown it in game yet. The information comes from the sources listed below.

What you will learn

  • Know the control functions for scraping.
  • Know what is still missing about the effect.

Prerequisites

What this is about

“Hull scraping” is scraping the outer skin of a wreck with the salvage heads. The word itself is not in our data; the tools and the scraper modules in the blueprints are sourced.q2

Modes and tools

The controls separate three firing paths for the salvage heads:q1

  • Toggle Fire Focused – the focused head,
  • Toggle Fire Left and Toggle Fire Right – one head each.

You choose focus with Focus all salvage heads, Focus left salvage head and Focus right salvage head.q1 Plus Salvage Mode Gimbal (Toggle) and Salvage Mode Gimbal Reset.q1

Beam spacing and modifiers

  • Increase and Decrease Beam Spacing – not bound in the default profile.q1
  • Cycle Focused Salvage Modifiers, Cycle Left and Cycle Right Salvage Modifiers.q1
  • Fine adjustment: Nudge left/right salvage tool up, down, left, right.q1
Which modifiers exist and what beam spacing changes when scraping is not in our data.

Material

Which material scraping produces and how much is not sourced in our data. So we state no efficiency values.

Next, breaking up: Structural salvage & fracturing.

Goal
Watch and record scraping on a wreck.
Preparation
Salvage ship, a wreck in front of you, notes ready.
Task
Scrape with both heads, then left only and right only. In between change beam spacing and cycle the modifiers. After each step note what changes on the display and the wreck.
Success criterion
Still open – will be set after our own in-game test.
Partner
not required
Functions needed
  • Toggle Fire Focused
  • Toggle Fire Left
  • Toggle Fire Right
  • Increase Beam Spacing

Checklist

  • Focus left, right and all heads sit next to each other.
  • While scraping you note what changes on the display and the wreck.
