Just to be clear you do not always get items. You can get a % of the ships killed in items/credits.
-> Both ways PvP salvage
- attacker will salvage 20% of defender losses (items & cr), defender will salvage 60% of own losses (cr), 20% lost
- on success, attacker will salvage 50% of own losses (cr), defender will salvage 0% of attacker losses (cr), 50% lost
- on fail, attacker will salvage 25% of own losses (cr), defender will salvage 10% of attacker losses (cr), 65% lost
- uses maxed resupply bonus from the two parties
- defender with 5 bil fleet can have max salvage from attacker fleet of 0.5 bil (10% of his own fleets worth)
- attacker gets 20% so (max 20% of his own fleets worth)
The 3rd option could of happened Jonathan16 or it could be that you don't always get items along with credits on an attack. I think that may of happened to me.
- on fail, attacker will salvage 25% of own losses (cr), defender will salvage 10% of attacker losses (cr), 65% lost - This could be what happened
