Salvage Specialist

I thought this was a space trait, but it shows up in the 'Traits' tab of my Eng/Int Talaxian BOff with the symbol for a ground trait... Is this why it doesn't seem to work? Is there any word on when this might be fixed so we can 'salvage' R&D materials from our enemies?

    We assume so. Both the racial for lifetime and the boff version are doing this. No word from cryptic on it yet.

    If every Talaxian files a polite bug report. perhaps Cryptic will raise the priority.

    It's disappointing that Talaxians are being promoted by Arc right now, even though they're broken. I was all set to start a new character but it seems pointless until we get word on a fix :(

    Guess they can't get enough attention in game so now they are here invading the forums.

    It's ironic, really, I guess. The "Salvage Specialist" trait was half the reason I spent the Lobi on a Talaxian BOff (The other was because I wanted all four possible careers/specialisations on my away team; Tac, Eng, Sci and Intel) and it doesn't work.

    Don't quote them. You double the work mods need to do because now they need to edit your post too.

    I can't say 100% that it does not work. But I never observed any gains from it, so the jury is out. I tried to keep a running total of my mats as I fought and I never saw those increase from combat. The odds are low -- you have to not kill the ship until it falls to a low health so you can't do a big hit / crit / anything when it is at low but not low enough health, and once you manage THAT its a tiny chance to work.

    Per posts by borticus and frost (devs) in the bugs forum, this is a bug, they have fixed it but not in time for today's patch so it should be next Thursday.
