Falcon EDIT Y26 D327: An issue was identified that prevented loot from spawning inside the salvage-class ships after bandits had their life force relieved from them. This has been fixed and all salvage-class ships (that spawn after this sim news) eligible for loot spawns will now drop loot.
=====
Bandits have recently discovered more ways to smash ships together in the form of Salvage-class Ships! You can find a snippet of their image rules on the Custom Images Rules Page.
The intent behind these ships is to bring an averagely-statted ship from most categories into play and give the players some artistic liberty with bringing their Ugly-type ship fantasies to life. We look forward to seeing your best (and worst) amalgamations of Uglies. Players are free to create any Ugly-type concotion of ships they like (so long as they fit within the Custom Image rules), but the stats/room maps will NOT change to represent the image(i.e. if you have a gunboat with 4 quad lasers depicted, the Salvage-class Gunboat will remain with its standard loadout of 2 Heavy Lasers / 1 Ion Cannon).
Salvage-class ships can be found and captured in normal bandit spawns, and their spawn chance can be found on the Space Bandits Rules Page. Many of the bandit ship spawn rates have been changed as a result of adding new ships into the mix, but they should be pretty close to their original values (+/- ~2.5%).
Furthermore, the exact Salvage-class ship type stats can be found on their prospective rules pages below:
