Talk:Salvage

Infobox
Added a template for Salvage Infoboxes. Included the same description fields as used in the current salvage table Nyoneno (talk) 15:50, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * What are you planning to do with it? I don't think individual salvage has anywhere near enough information for their own pages. The table seems like all the information that's needed. --Mr Pie 5 (talk) 19:14, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The table covers the basic information about an salvage item, but individual pages would also allow for images and galleries and additional information about handling, hazards, variants and other information that doesn't fit well into the table. It would also let us move less useful information off the table to keep it cleaner. Nyoneno (talk) 19:47, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Damage
It may be worth investigating wether the condition (damage pips) when the object is stowed on the barge effect the value of any given object. Criticalsystemerror (talk) 18:54, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * It doesn't seem that the value is affected by the loss of yellow damage pips. Nyoneno (talk) 22:42, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Lights
I've done a bunch of free plays to figure out the light values. The small round lights have a distinct value, but the bar style lights seem to have a variable value. The value on the low end is $394.22 and $579.72 on the high end. The value doesn't seem to be tied to the quantity, as both the high and low values were from runs where only one light was collected.

Panel Details
Ship hulls seem to be built from a reusable library of panels. I'm working on creating a reference guide for that library so users can estimate the value of a ship's hull. I'm collecting the panel's total mass (after removing lights and stuff), as well as the type and mass of the individual components (e.g. 28.13 kg Nanocarbon). I'll post once I have enough data to describe a standard Mackerel class. If this works, we can create a separate wiki page for each ship, cross-reference with this new table, and list the total hull value in the infobox. Namelesspc (talk) 03:13, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Posted some detail about Mackerel class cargo ships to get started. The total value column allows players to prioritize panel-processing vs throwing goodies at the barge. Ceiling and floor panels aren't worth as much as I expected. Namelesspc (talk) 05:21, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
