Salvage

[AtomikKrab (OP)]

How do I salvage?

I built a salvage ship... but it doesn't give me a salvage option on some alien wrecks I have found.

Alright I managed to figure it out on my own, I needed a ship with sensors to be in range of the wrecks to "SEE" them for the salvage ship

but another problem... task force training is not working,

I had a group going for 5 years at a 0 percent increase, so... what am I doing wrong?

another question so i'll put it here

do I need to assign a fire control for CIWS? or active sensors? it's because both techs are listed on the design so are they prepackaged?

CIWS are an all in one package - just fit them onto your ship and never think about them again. They will defend the ship they are fitted on only.

Do your task force commanders have the bonuses needed to give a non-zero training rate?  Check in the task for windows.  The primary bonus is the commander's crew training - ops officer also has an effect, and ops bonus might too.

Yep, put my 2nd 3rd and 4th best guys for that on the ships, nothing

They don't go in the ship, they go in the TF command structure (staff appointments on the leader (F4) screen).  You can view the training bonus on the TF screen (ctrl-F4) - look in the "training" box.
