Gren will eventually offer to tow ships back to Stardock and strip them for parts, sharing some of the profits with the player.
This new service becomes available after the player destroys their first Major Array and next speaks to Gren. For more details about Major Arrays, see the Watchtower Monitoring System page.
After the service is available, when the player approaches the Pilot Seat of a ship they could normally claim, they'll find an alternate activation called Salvage.
Selecting this option will prompt them to confirm they want to mark it for salvage.
After the player marks it for salvage, it gets added to a collection that Gren will later pick-up. As long as the player hasn't left the area, they will be able to choose the Salvage option again to "unmark" it for salvage - allowing the player to fix a mistake or change their mind.
The next time the player returns to Gren, he'll give the player their cut of salvage in the form of credits.
After the player defeats their second Major Array, the next time they Salvage a ship and then speak to Gren he'll unlock the ability to both pilot Watchtower Ships and recreate their HAB designs.
From this point on, if the player salvaged any Watchtower ships, there is a chance HABs on them will become unlocked for the player to build in the ship builder when accessed through Gren.
Many of the HABs have unique elements and designs inside to showcase the unique technology Watchtower uses. Others are simply slightly varied base designs meant to fit in aesthetically alongside the more unique Watchtower ones.
