Steps
- Use a salvage vessel such as an Argo MOTH with a tractor beam tool.
- Open the Contracts Manager and purchase Salvage Claim rights, prioritizing contracts grouped near the same Lagrange station.
- Fly to the claim marker and scan the derelict ship to inspect its cargo manifest and fitted components.
- EVA inside the wreck with a tractor beam tool to extract cargo boxes from the cargo grid.
- Detach accessible components including coolers, shields, and power plants from their internal racks.
- Deliver required materials to freight elevators for procurement missions or sell components at station terminals.
Risks
- Abandoning active claims reduces hidden salvage reputation and temporarily locks higher-tier ship contracts.
- Physical cargo handling in zero-G can cause collision damage or loss of loose crates.
- Freight elevators consume all submitted SCU container volume without refunding surplus materials.
Required Capabilities
- Salvage ship
- Cargo hold
