The Salvager is a workhorse vessel for any major Junker operation, be is smuggling or scrapping metal from a debris field, this transport can support itself very easily. Supporting six gunboat turrets, the only transport capable of doing so, it can mount devastating firepower to keep most lone pirates at bay. Having seen this vessel in almost all parts of House space, it's appearance is the paramount of Junker style sacrificing sleek and streamline appearing for workhorse capability. The details to equipment visible on the exterior of the ship range from the underside mounted grappling arm, to the crane directly on the dorsal side above. The front of this vessel has two primary arms on it's front end for collecting large debris and feeding it into the smaller arms within, much like some form of giant space crab. Having flown one of these ships for a long while, and successfully scrapped a large amount of ore and smuggled cargo all over Sirius without regret, this vessel will see any dedicated Junker through thick and thin, and back again. It's ability to fight off smaller ships is undeniable, having personally been assaulted within Liberty's borders by a pair of wild Rogues and being forced to limp my way to the nearest dock. Though I believe those Liberty Rogues ships are still floating somewhere in the Badlands, indeed they learned their lesson that a Salvager is no easy mark. As for defending from bombers, every transports nightmare is a skilled bomber pilot. Thankfully any skilled bomber pilot worth his ship won't be wasting time pirating smugglers, they'll go straight for House transports, where real money flies. Though as before, any lone ship will approach a Salvager with caution, or else they'll be added to the list of pirates and terrorists who've been taught that Junkers are exactly what they're about, making scrap out of their pretty ships. A small warning. Something this good has it's drawbacks. The Number 1 turret is front-firing only, and Number 6 is rear-firing only. Those usually end up mining laser turrets on scrapping Salvagers. I recommend this ship to anyone who's a Junker and wants a solid transport for legal, illegal, or scrap metal purposes. It's reliable and packs a punch worth it's whopping price. Just don't go anywhere near Kusari military routes, and you'll be a rich Junker in no time. Though you'll still smell like rusted metal and oil.Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Review by Lieutenant |

Review
The Salvage Frigate received much-needed agility tweaks in 4.86. The ship now turns quite abit faster than it did in 4.85, or atleast it seems. The Frigate now has 7 turret hardpoints and is capable of holding 750 nanobots/shield batteries. The Salvage Frigate has enough firepower to deter Fighters, but a skilled Bomber pilot will lay waste to this ship effortlessly. The Salvage Frigate excels when paired with a Fighter or Bomber escort, and the ship is extremely useful for pirate/smuggling operations. The lack of a Cruise Disruptor means that you'll need a partner to fight effectively in this ship. This ship is too slow to fight other Gunboats, but the power core is similar to most gunships. This ship can support Battle Razors, Pulse Cannons, and Missile Turrets however the ship lacks the agility to use them effectively in most scenarios. You'll need steady aim if you want to use Battle Razors with this ship. The power core is large enough to support these weapons, but it's not recommended unless you are very experienced with Gunboats in general. Turrets 1 and 2 only fire forward, and turret 3 only fires backwards, the lack of a proper weapons array limits the combat potential of this ship. The Frigate uses a standard Transport shield, giving it enough defense to hold off Fighters for quite awhile. What this ship lacks in firepower, it makes up for in survivability. 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.Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Review by Seylah |
