Pirate bombers will toast a transport long before an escort can down the bomber. This is not the case with the Salvager.

If you're a Junker to begin with, Pirates shouldn't (usually, but we all know how people treat Junkers) be a problem honestly to begin with, which is the point of it since it's (mostly) restricted to Junkers.
It wouldn't perform nearly as well at all if a group of Freelancers had it, or if a Corsair had one. The Junkers also have the worst ships out of any factions (as well as guns, really), so they do deserve their treat that rewards cooperation.
Whales are just much, much simpler to abuse in comparison since they are a direct upgrade compared to every other ship of its category, was my entire point. Technerf wouldn't do anything to it, since it doesn't have weapons to begin with, and the CM slot opens up abuse via cool devices that literally no other 5 K can have. In exchange for that exclusivity, though, the Zoners had to give up -a lot- for it. Including losing the docking access to about 70% (tentative guess) of bases in the entire mod.
The awful core of the Salvager and the Technerf basically guarantees its exclusive use by Junkers.
Uhm guys, please be aware its one of the best choice for Freelancer, its heavily armed and has a nice cargo loadout, 3650 cargo is all a freelancer need also the FL ID only allows 3900 max, thats what I was referring to, so a whale can't be purchased anyway.

No it doesnt..... 3600 on the Fl ID so salvy having 3650 puts it out of reach so yeah nope.
Edit: Unless you are meaning Pirate Train at which point the ID says " No transports with more then 3600 cargo except the Pirate Train" its an exception not meaning that 3900 is the max.

Don't Freelancers get 90% recharge rate on Junker stuff?
EDIT: They get 75% on them. I honestly don't know how you'd use the Salvager.

Ye thats why it'd be nice if FLs and Pirates had 90% on Junker also its power core is more than other transports and the recharge rate, so 75% ain't that bad.
I had a FL Salvager that ran with Solaris's before .87. I encountered no real drain, and was able to adequately defend myself against pirate snubs. Slower recharge when I fired my pulses, but meh. Its not as bad as you think with a 75% core.
I don't see why a 90% cell for junker tech on the FL/Pirate ID would be fair. Junkers don't owe them anything. If anything, pirates and FLs owe Junkers something because they dock on their bases.
