Good idea though.

Perhaps a salvage drone for us merc's. When we kill someone it picks up some ammo and gives it to us so we have some immediate use of some of the salvage perhaps some grenades if the person didn't use theirs. Then some modules such as shield extenders and such. Guns are big and bulky in this game so a little salvage drone wouldn't be able to carry them. Plus this would involve Skills so people couldn't just pick up stuff and sell it they have to put some of those precious SP's toward the salvage drone.

Solution Salvage Drone or as i would call him...... MINI ME! MU HA *cough* *cough* i'll spare you my evil laugh this time...

Also I think currently that is one reason the bodies burn is to destroy any items that could potentially help the other side.

See the issues with that are the drones themselves. I can see having a salvage skill and set up. so you can hack suits.. "before the burn up" Like to take a low slow or the grenade slot, to put salvage hacking computer or sumthing. It would be good to be able to hack just items that are in the mid and low slots.. no weapons. Because the skills might not be known to use that weapon Ect..

But they should have it to where, if you salvage a type of drop suit so many times, you acquire the skill book for that suit. You still in turn need to buy it and use SP to train it. but no more need for the skill book..

Those on the losing team that were still alive at the end, their items get looted. Because they lose them anyways. So why not let those items they have on them, be the loot. Makes it more realistic.

When you walk up to it, it gives you a quick hack option that allows you to salvage the gun, or equipment that he was carrying when he died? also maybe give the salvager 10 battle points for salvaging it.

How can you do that in the middle of the battlefield? you would die soo fast. lol But good idea. You should also do a overload of the shield and give you a bigger boost for a little amount of time. That would be even better. I don't like the thought of changing weapons like that in the middle of battle. If they did it that way, it would have to just add their primary to your secondary or something, and you can't have a pistol equipped or you lose that.. We are onto a good idea :D

Then we as players would also have to protect our drones because they could be destroyed by other players. When we die it would give us the option to add the items that our drone has salvaged into our assets or maybe straight into and end of game auction type thingy...........or maybe straight to the market.......or something like that.

You still in turn need to buy it and use SP to train it. but no more need for the skill book.. I'm failing to see the problem with the drones themselves. Pretty cut and dry honestly. You buy drones and put them in a drone slot on your fitting layout. The drone is launched for you when you spawn OR you call it in like a vehicle with no wait time because it's small and fly's on it's own doesn't need a dropship to bring it in. It's autonomous so it scurries around and picks up all the stuff with no input from you. Staying close by you though it won't just fly all over the battlefield. Once it's cargo hold is full it runs back to the ship or where ever and drops it off for you. People can shoot and destroy it because well it's a weak little drone. They would never allow skill books to be allocated to you for salvaging a dropsuit enough times or whatever your salvaging. EVE online is a perfect example of that. You can salvage all day long and all your going to have more of at the end of the day is salvage to sell. Salvaging is a skill for getting junk to sell not researching the stuff your ripping apart to make some extra cash. Not saying I don't like the idea though but it's a little wishful thinking. If you personally pick up stuff to salvage once you die you are going to lose that salvage. If I see one person taking the time out to run supplies and salvage back to a clone bay or where ever. I will personally SHOOT them in the head with a scrambler pistol and kick them outta my corp. That is once corp functionality is added of course. Contracts are worth WAYY more than a dinky little shield extender just sayin.

This would be perfect. =) Cause damnit seeing your mailbox flash the same moment you are rewarded with a very bright explosion creates such a joyus feeling that it needs to be re-created wherever possible.

It might be too much for the servers to handle though. Random AI running around with all of the vehicles and everything else. Just salvaging for Tags would be cool then. Sell the tags and hold them off as Kill Mail too!~ That would work. I like the drone idea, but seems a little ill placed when this is a fps, you know.
Nick Phantom Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 91	Posted - 2012.06.28 23:13:00 - [13] - Quote Perhaps but some of those corp battles in EVE are pretty massive and people use drones there. They are skilled enough developers to figure it out all we have to do is say yes we want or nope scrap it. Like the tag's idea as well. Specially if they let us place bounties on other mercs :). Plus trading them into a NPC group might get us some loyalty points if that person we got the tags from has a negative standing with them
