With the luckily rapidly developed hotfix for salvaging and the Aegis Day during IAE, 3 friends and me rented a Reclaimer to test out the hotfix.
I was super happy to notice that the main elevator works flawlessly now. You can reach any floor and don't get stuck on one. The salvaging fills up as it used to be, but sadly here as well CIG decided to throw away the Abrade for a Sure Grip Tractor Beam, which as we know is now illegal to use on a ship.... good job breaking it.
One last thing though that bothers me is that the headlights don't work.
In the end we salavged a Starlifter and got 50 scu worth of RMC. Was quite the pleasant experience.
I heard you can swap out the tractors for salvage beams and vice versa, but haven't tried it yet.
