About this mod

Adds a scavenger faction that cleans up junk in the universe.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
Updated for 3.0 and Split Vendetta

Minor 3.1 update, should fix languages other than English, also recolors faction so they're less red.




The universe is full of free shit. Why should you be the only one taking advantage of that?

The Scavengers are a faction made up of every race, all united under one idea-if it's not nailed down, take it. 

Version 3 

Features
  • Scavenger scouts fly around the galaxy picking up free containers they come across. 
  • To balance this, most ships have a chance to drop different types of salvage that can be sold for credits at Scavenger stations (higher quality parts will be tradeable at a later time for rewards, so it's up to you if you want to hold on to those)
  • Scavenger claim ships search for abandoned ships to scoop up (mission-spawned ships should not be touched)
  • Several wharves and equipment docks will now spawn in unowned sectors (should be compatible with any map overhaul that adds new sectors like DeadAir's Overhaul and The Teleportation Wars, and any unowned sectors in those mods will be added to the pool of possible spawn locations)

The HQ and Wharf do not outfit ships currently (except software, because that's a default for some reason), but feel free to sell ship parts or whole ships to them if you can find the stations. At the moment, their only purpose is to buy junk.

Junk list
  • Junk Salvage (low quality trash)
  • Mechanical Salvage (med quality trash)
  • Loose Ship Components (good quality trash)
  • Quality Thruster Parts (HQ engine parts)
  • High-Capacity Shield Generators (HQ shield parts)
  • Low-Resistance Pulse Capacitors (HQ pulse weapon parts)

Scavenger stations are the only stations that will buy these parts, but to make up for it most of them are pretty valuable. As mentioned, some of these parts will have other uses in a future version, so whether or not you sell the three HQ components is up to you.


Plans
There are many features I'm looking into adding:
  • Advanced looting ships that can collect and loot lockboxes
  • High quality equipment for sale
  • Faction missions
  • Repair ships that can be hired from the map


*The rate that their ships collect crates may be a bit too aggressive still. Feedback in regards to that is greatly appreciated. 


Thanks to The Smiths (creators of TP Wars) for letting me use their station spawning script on the Scavenger stations
