Salvage charges do it cleanly. The same as the claw on the Reclaimer. The claw does the salvage charges' job for the Reclaimer, but the Vulture doesn't have that. So it has this, and EVA salvage will use those as well, rather than you just, with a tiny little claw, chopping away at stuff. It's the clean way of doing it. So it cuts down those break points. If you're shooting it with your ship, you're going to be causing damage to the ship. You're going to be destroying the surface of the ship. So when you're scraping it, you're going to be getting much less returns. The penetration of the weapons probably will be damaging stuff on the inside. When bits break off because you've shot them, they're probably going to cause little mini explosions. You see all the squibs go down the wings. It's all just deteriorating your return. So yes, you can go along and shoot it with your ship, but it's not going to be as good a return as just doing it properly with salvage charges.
