Ship salvage?

[Kal-El 0311]

HM 1 salvage mission. Do I have to have ships down to a certain level of health before they can be salvaged? The salvage ship locks on but it wont return it to the mothership...? I think this is the second or third campaign mission.

Thanks

need 2 salvage ship, if this 3rd mission

[Dionysosss]

nope ya dont
you can capture them full health
just make sure they aint targeting your salvage corvets

[Holy Sock]

Health doesn't matter, you need more depending on target size. One for a corvette, two for a frigate, four for a destroyer etc.

[Dionysosss]

fighters corvettes = 1 salvage corvette
frigates = 2
destoyers = 3
carriers and heavy cruisers =5

[francjac6]

Two corvettes for frigates
Three corvettes for destroyers
Five corvettes for carriers/cruisers

(Note : Turanic Carrier is NOT capturable)

No HP condition.

Special ships that need to be salvaged (example : Khar Selim) require only one corvette

The larger the ship, the more salvage corvettes you need. As the person above said.

oO thx for info

[Tyrranus]

as dionysoss and holy sock said you need more salvage corvettes the bigger the enemy ships get

[ExavierMacbeth]

Think the numbers may have changed... took me 4 to capture a destroyer & 6 to capture a carrier... 4th mission HW1 enemies

[Imperial Topaz]

I've always hated how the turanic carrier wasn't capturable.

I also had the problem with salvaging in mission 3. My salvage corvettes would latch onto enemy frigate, but they would not return it to my mothership. Restarting the mission fixed it for me. And you need two of your salvage corvettes for salvaging one enemy frigate.

Kal,

Sigh :/ I wanted to capture the Turanic carrier. ;_;

[ChronoDensetsu]

Getting a bug also, restarted a couple of times, but the salvage frigates don't seem to want to tow the assault frigate back to the mothership.

In the original game you could capture the Turanic carrier, with some modding
