Salvage Exchange

What does the Salvage Exchange trade? Corvette parts, part for part: all 127 kinds on sale at once, for 2.5 times the value of the part you take, paid in corvette parts. 3 of your parts of the same value usually buy one of its.

Where to find one

The Salvage Exchange is kept by the attendant of a space station's corvette workshop, who also sells a basic set of parts for units. What a first build needs is under corvettes.

What it trades

Every part it can show, with the description the game gives it and the value the trade counts for it.

What the shop takes in trade, with the value it counts for each.

How a trade is accepted

The exchange rates each part you offer at 70% to the whole of its value, takes up to 3 slots, each holding a stack, and sets the sum against 2.5 times the value of the part you want. The nearer it comes, the likelier a yes: 3 parts of the same value pass at least 75% of the time, 2 at most 69%. The answer stays the same for the same offer until you next fly into space, so after a refusal change the offer rather than ask again.

What it sells for units

The same attendant's second option, Purchase basic modules, sells 14 plain parts for units, all on sale at once.
