Scavenger Ships

from Sins Forums
With debies being added later could we not have a scavenger unit to scour after battle deries fields for supplies and new technologies? New techs not readily usable but having to be researched for added bonuses to ships or planets.

This has already been reccommended, but just to reiterate, I believe there is more support for something similar to how they did Armada 2's borg assimilation, where the scavenger ship acquired some tech nd then ferried back to a yard to be disassembled for tech absorption. But yea, lots of support for this so far, lesee if the dev's love us enough to have it in there

Glad I am not the only one. Didn't see the other thread. I guess I used the wrong search words... or can't spell.

Nah it was within Gameplay I believe, no worries being vocal about what you want is what counts, I think....

Ah the wonders of the search button...

I'm bringing this one back from the vault because I like the idea. It would be a good way of getting extra metal, some crystal and possible tech (rarely though).

I'd also love to see lots of debris after a battle from all size ships. Epic battles deserve epic fields of dead ships... the debris could float into the planet and dissapear after a while...

and if you start saying that there would be too many extra objects for the game engine to render, then... well... upgarde you box! or turn off the effect.

At anyrate dead ships in space can be very cool.

Devs have confirmed that some form of scavenging will be in. And necromancy is evil.

Nah, it's all about the way you use it.

Which techs would be race-exchangable through scavenging? The common ones only or some race-specific, too? IMO it would be great to not be able to research other races' techs but some countermeasures to them after you scavanged enough of their ships using those techs.

Excellent! Thanks Ron

IIRC they've only confirmed that some form of it will be in the game, they didn't say anything past that.
