Watchtower Cruisers Issues

[Sdshaffer94]

Good Day All,
I have the lastest Watchtower installed.
1.) There is still an area on Cruisers that can not be access if entered. It is right off the room that enters the docking ring.
2.) I used clipping to get into said room. Took out enemies and headed back out. Then turned off clipping and headed to bridge and was not able to salvage the ship. Are cruisers salvageable.

Thanks

I don't know how far along you are in the story, but they're not salvageable at first. If you try to sit/claim one, you should see a message saying "you can't quite figure out how to work this ship" or similar.

At some point after you've unlocked salvaging in general,

Spoiler: minor spoiler

Gren will say something along the lines of: "by the way, I've figured out a way to improve the interface so that you can pilot watchtower ships." This should be after you've destroyed some more of WT's arrays, but I don't know the specific thresholds/triggers.

At that point you should be able to claim and salvage them.

I got to the point to salvaging of their ships. But, ran in to the cruiser not being able to.

One of the lines in the 1.0.1 patch stated, " Watchtower Cruisers should correctly no longer be pilotable." Whether or not that's also preventing them from being salvaged is the question. I've completed the main quest and now I'm going after the minor and major arrays, one at a time. Other than maybe at the big battle at the Heimdall Station, I haven't run into any cruisers. I'm trying to find one to see if I can capture salvage one myself.

The inaccessible area is something we have fixed ready for our next patch update.

Cruisers are now salvageable as of 1.0.2v4, and do not require piloting (indeed this ship type cannot be piloted anyway).

So to confirm - you are definitely on the latest build, have killed all enemies in the cruiser, and are still unable to mark it for salvage?
