Say I find a derelict or something that has a lot of value, but it is beyond my abilities to "take it all home", so to speak. How long will that derelict "persist" in the universe, for me to sell the position data to another player, without them hauling out there, only to find that it's gone/that instance is closed?asked by Corrin Avatan
Right now we're still getting the exact details of our salvaging system worked out, but in short, if you find a big prize you'll be able to take advantage of that somehow. Be sending a call out to friends and having them bring a big ship into your instance, or maybe a couple of hours could pass by and you'd still be able to get your friend into that instance to start salvaging, or if it's repairable, bring something into fix the derelict up and take it home!
There are still a lot of questions at the moment about when servers will be told to spool up or close particular instances. It'll be difficult to play this kind of thing before we work that out, so it's definitely a priority.
