(Mánadagr) Current goals today
- We are opening the TECH-PREVIEW later today to all backers for further Vulkan update testing. This will run overnight.
- We are currently working on further 4.3.1 Client/DGS hotfixes for stability, Proximity assist multiplier miscalculation (10m/s), freight disappearing when storing a ship, and more.
(Mánadagr) Current goals today
- We ran into a blocking issue with the TECH-PREVIEW tonight and we’ll try again as soon as we can!
(Mánadagr)
- HOTFIX channel is currently open overnight for 4.3.1 LIVE client side hotfix testing.
(Tysdagr) We are currently working on further DGS hotfixes to help with mission cargo inventories, RMC prices, and players not able to see the “hold M to rescue” text while incapacitated
(Thor’s Day) Current Goals
- We are currently branching 4.3.2 with the potential of an Evocati publish as early as tomorrow or by Monday next week.
- We are currently working on and testing DGS side hotfixes for the LIVE environment for various fixes.
ETF-testing-chat | Wakapedia-CIG: The testers chosen were fully from very specific analytics for the kind of feedback and testing for this one
(Tysdagr) We are currently putting together a new 4.3.2 build for a potential Evocati Publish later today
(Waka’s Day) We are currently putting together a new 4.3.2 build for a potential Evocati Publish later today
(Thor’s Day) We are currently putting together a new 4.3.2 build for a potential Evocati Publish later today.

Structural Salvage Overhaul
Structural salvage has undergone major changes to prep for future systems. This will affect all salvage mechanics for all ships and will increase complexity, adjust salvaging times and materials collected, and add refining as part of the flow for materials. -
Ship Identity & Role Definitions
Each salvage ship now has a distinct identity and specialized role:- Reclaimer: “Quantity over quality” - Fastest structural salvage processing, designed for large-scale operations
- Vulture: “The Lone Wolf” - Balanced middle-ground ship, serves as reference point for all other ships
-
► Technical Changes
- Field Generation System
- Increased Range: Fields have been increased by up to 60 meters from where they were before
- Ship-Specific Fields: Each ship now generates differently sized fields matching their visual design
- Repositioned Sweet Spots: Alignment sweet spots moved from dead center to ship-appropriate positions
- Fracture Time Rebalancing
- 5x Speed Differential: Massive performance gap between fastest and slowest ships
- Speed Rankings (fastest to slowest): Reclaimer (fastest), Vulture (reference baseline)
- Conversion Rate System
- SCU per Cubic Meter optimization varies by ship
- Current Live Rankings: Reclaimer (best available)
- Field Generation System
-
► Field Alignment Sweet Spot Overhaul
- Massive Multiplier Buffs
- Reclaimer: 7x speed multiplier when properly aligned
- Additional: Yield multipliers also improved for aligned positioning
- Visibility & Mechanics
- Sweet spots display +/- percentages on debris pieces
- Easier with tractor beam ships, but possible through flight positioning
- Massive Multiplier Buffs
-
► New Three-Tier Material System
- Raw Material Types
- Powder: Highest density, Lowest yield after refining, Fastest refinery processing time
- Scraps: Medium density, Medium yield and processing time
- Chunks: Lowest density, Highest yield after refining, Longest refinery processing time
- Refinery Integration
- All refinery decks can process these materials
- Same end product: All materials refine into construction material
- Workflow: Raw materials → Station inventory via freight elevator → Refinery processing
- Time Design: Small ships get quick turnaround, large ships have extended processing but higher profits
- Raw Material Types
