That's not specific to Watchtower though, admittedly, the only other time I saw it was trying to update McClarence Outfitters. I think they're the only two Creations I have that have released updates. I think I either closed/relaunched Steam or flat-out rebooted and was able to pull the update.

I'm on my second playthrough using a brand new character. Torin and I went to I spammed the screenshot button and one of them hit gold.

As you progress the Watchtower storyline, there will be contraband cases on Stardock. What's nice about them is that when you have to turn in those items for improvements they can be automatically pulled from the crate so you don't have to keep grabbing them back out to have them to people.

I've frequently avoided detection, but, I was playing on a character who already did the Crimson Fleet storyline so I have the scan jammer add-on for my ship. That said, even with a Chance to Evade of 89%, you'll still get caught 10% of the time. If I get detected, I boost power to Grav Drive...

Hey, don't feel bad; nobody knows everything. I created another thread on here about salvaging where I missed trying something obvious because I thought I had tried it and mis-understood something about claiming boarded ships.

They do, yes, but I think you can only do so with "Elite" crew[1]. Generic crew, like "Propulsion Specialist" don't seem to give you the trade dialogue. For the ones who do, trade with them, place it in their inventory, switch to their inventory, go to the amp, and hit the Equip button (Y by...

I don't know why it wasn't triggering earlier (maybe just backed up scripts) but my (remaining) ships do appear to have eventually repaired their hull damage.

I've just salvaged three ships without problem: sit, stand, salvage, repeat. I thought I had tried after standing, but I probably just went from sitting to grav jumping away. Thanks for your time and efforts, @twolargepepperoni.

At least I thought I had. Also, I just reloaded a save from right before my last attempt and now it's working. Which is odd; this hadn't been my first time trying (and failing) to salvage. I didn't even have to sit down first this time; I just killed the Spacers, walked up to the pilot's seat...

Alas, it disappears. I tried it just before posting.

A forum search for "Salvage" doesn't turn up any threads on this, so apologies if it's addressed elsewhere. I don't seem to be able to salvage ships I board. When I go up to the pilot's seat, I see both the Sit and Salvage options. However, if I try the Salvage option I get a message of "You...

Not that I've seen. I had jumped back to a ship service location (forget which one) and they were still damaged, hence my repair efforts. I'll keep a closer look when I'm back in game, thanks.

Yeah, I had assigned someone to my Starborn Guardian. It had eventually been brought down to 0 hull. I switched to it and repaired it at a ship service location and switched back. Later on I noticed it's completely disappeared from my collection of ships. I'll keep an eye out to see if it returns.

Has anyone found an easier way to repair the other ships in your fleet? Right now, the only way I know to do so is to switch my home ship, repair the damaged ship, switch back to my preferred home ship, and then reassign all the crew back to the ships on which I want them. If anyone has figured...
