Thread: STARSIDER Smugglers Did your Upgrade Kits get a salvage option?

Boy am I glad to hear that. Good thing I didn't unpack 3000 kits!

... although that does mean I have a hundred or so WUKs in my bank that I'll likely have to delete, so doh!

Great news!
I really, really hope that they don't hose up those of us who actually unpacked everything pre-publish.
/sigh
Guess I'll be spending the weekend salvaging all the kits I had unpacked rather than doing them on an as-needed basis. only 300-400 of them.

This is completely unacceptable. A large number of us prepared for the patch by uncrating a number of upgrade kits and storing them. This makes it sound like those of us who spent the time to do that will be SOL. If this was the plan all along, it should have been made clear to us when the system hit TC.
Hm.

What about those of us who uncrated everything and still can't salvage anything? Should we just destroy everything now?
No, don't do that yet.
Let's see if we can fix those, too.
JFreeman,
Thanks for braving the screams and entering the forum again.
I think it would help everyone if you could, rather than respond to specific question, give us a blanket statement that explains what is happening so that we can prepare.
Thank you.
Things that were not un-crated prior to publish 19, did

not get the salvage option. We ran a DB query to add the salvage option
to uncrated items, but anything uncrated after pub19 went live, did not
get the option.
We're hotfixing a solution to that: so when things are un-crated, they will get the Salvage option.
Looking into re-running the query to add the salvage option to things
that were un-crated after pub-19 went live, but before this hotfix.
Sounds like on Starsider, nothing got the salvage option (whether it
was uncrated before or not). Is that correct? Re-running the DB query
should catch all those as well. But if we missed Starsider the first
time, we want to double check and ensure we don't miss it the second
time as well.
So, this is two separate problems and we're working on addressing both.
Definitely don't uncrate anything else until the hotfix goes in, so you
can uncrate them after that and have some salvageables even if the DB
query hasn't been run yet.
but i'd like to ask if you're aware that a good majority of the Smuggler community is pretty dissappointed with this "Plan B"?
if you would pass that along to everyone down there in Austin we'd appreciate it. we'd like to hear that you're getting the message.
So it sounds like all UK's that are crated currently will get the salvage option when uncrated, and all UK's that were uncrated already that don't have the salvage option will aslo get it.
oh and those "wierdo" Starsider people will finally be able salvage stuff. 
Sounds good.

I assume this Hotfix will be for all servers?
Lowca has the same issues with 'Salvage'...
