Salvage droid

Post by Bazabaza »

Having come across several abandoned ships in my travels, I have been wondering how these could successfully be salvaged by the player for credits. I know there has been a tractor beam discussion, but I had the idea of a salvage droid. Something that could be fired/ deployed at an abandoned ships takes it over and then flies it back to the station for salvage credits for the player. Wondered if it was simple to re-establish the NPC to the said ship,but with a single intent of docking with the nearest station?

Look no further than [EliteWiki] Dredgers.oxp. It does more or less exactly what you're suggesting.
