The Salvager is small and quick compared to most transports (albeit larger and slower than gunboats) in its price range, but also carries less cargo than most transports in its price range.  It has gunboat turret slots and a light gunboat power core, giving it the ability to dish out as much pain as the much larger heavy transports.  Its enormous nanobot capacity of 750 allows it to sustain itself for a very long time in combat.  Its turret arcs are great, firing 5 or 6 out of its 7 turrets in most directions.  Its light gunboat power core is not enough to adequately support a full loadout of gunboat turrets, so unless you have a mining turret equipped to reduce power usage, it's a good idea to mix in transport turrets with similar projectile speeds.  If you're good enough to use slower weapons on such a ship, it can be very effective with predominantly Charon transport turrets with some cerbs, razors, and/or pulses mixed in.  If you can't use slower weapons effectively, it's a good idea to use solaris gunboat turrets with a mining turret or full junker gunboat turrets.

How well you handle yourself in this ship depends on your own level of skill, but if you're fighting enemies with skill relatively close to your own, you should be able to handle two fighters, one bomber, one transport (easily), or even a gunboat if you are a slightly better pilot, of course depending on your equipment setup.  The salvager, while larger than gunboats, is still small and quick enough to take on capital ships in groups when equipped with long-ranged weapons.

Imagine a Gunboat with Transport thrust speed/agility. This is the Junker Salvage Frigate. It doesn't pump out alot of damage, but it can survive where Transports cannot. It is much smaller than your average transport, but still carries a nice cargohold (3350). The Salvage Frigate has a very generous armor rating, allowing it to survive SNAC's when equipped with armor upgrades. |4.87}}

{{Review|a Junker capitan| This ship look like something that you find on the weast but do not forget that Junker are the builder of that ship! This ship is a bit like a gunboat, a bit like a transporter and a bit like a cruiser. From the gunboat it has the weapons, from the cruiser the speed and the size and from the transporter the cargo room. This ship is an allrounder, that means it can do all only a bit! You can use it as an warship but each gunboat will destroy you. A bomber will kill you because you are to slow and a fighter will not kill you. For a big fight the ship will be very good but in a 1 vs 1 it will more lose than win. All in all I would say that this ship shoud never be alone but in a fleet you will have a enemy who can kill you fast!|4.86}}

Review (4.87)
Made from scrap, the Salvager is the entity of Junkers. As a 3,350 cargo transport with mining capability and gunboat turrets, it is very self-sufficient.

The Salvager is small and quick compared to most transports (albeit larger and slower than gunboats) in its price range, but also carries less cargo than most transports in its price range. It has gunboat turret slots and a light gunboat power core, giving it the ability to dish out as much pain as the much larger heavy transports. Its enormous nanobot capacity of 750 allows it to sustain itself for a very long time in combat. Its turret arcs are great, firing 5 or 6 out of its 7 turrets in most directions. Its light gunboat power core is not enough to adequately support a full loadout of gunboat turrets, so unless you have a mining turret equipped to reduce power usage, it's a good idea to mix in transport turrets with similar projectile speeds. If you're good enough to use slower weapons on such a ship, it can be very effective with predominantly Charon transport turrets with some cerbs, razors, and/or pulses mixed in. If you can't use slower weapons effectively, it's a good idea to use solaris gunboat turrets with a mining turret or full junker gunboat turrets.

How well you handle yourself in this ship depends on your own level of skill, but if you're fighting enemies with skill relatively close to your own, you should be able to handle two fighters, one bomber, one transport (easily), or even a gunboat if you are a slightly better pilot, of course depending on your equipment setup.
