(Poll) What do you do with your enemies' ships?

    When you overheat an enemy's ship, do you keep attacking, salvage it, or board/capture it?

    With the new update, you can now board and capture ships. I'm curious how many people do.

    Depends on the ship and circumstance. In most cases I'll just use build mode to eat its blocks for use in my own things.

    I don't like using build mode to salvage it because it kind of takes away the little bit of realism to it. You would have to take time to salvage it in real life. It is a quick way of getting the stuff off of it, though.

    Yeah but then i have to overheat the core and destroy blocks and stuff. Besides I don't usually put salvagers on my ship, I prefer using the space for more important subsystems

    I'll devour it. Even if it looks cool there isn't really a point with trying to use a half destroyed ship.

    Depends on how dead it is. Normally I'll just salvage it in a large salvager or using the build menu to do it. If it looks cool enough and can be restored to working order without much of an issue than I'm likely to capture it and tow it back to base.
