That is in the game already. Though not from regular NPRs.

Given Steve's nationality, I would have thought the offical currency would have been cash money pounds
well in that case, you would have gotten LODS OF EMONE!

We here in the Alzarian System use Quatloos.

Ah ok. Yeah I had the 2 confused at first but still didn't realise scrapping got wealth. I always assumed wealth was only gained through commercial companys or colonys.

It doesnt. Dissasemble only gives Research data, and only if you havent already got the tech that you're investigating. If you dissasemble something that you alread have all the tech for, then you only get the message "no new tech found" or something similar - the unit you dissasembled is lost for no gain. Its done on an individual item by item basis.
Scrapping on the other hand gives you back 30% of the minerals & wealth used to create the items, but its done on entire groups of items.

(cash money dollars is the official currency of Aurora). I was quite pleased.

« on: August 13, 2011, 04:21:48 PM »You can build ships with salvaged NPR components; however, it does not mean you can build the same components yourself. The same applies to the missiles. You can load them and fire them but you can't build them.
