Atlas class ships come in 3 variants: the Nomad Cargo Hauler, Lookout man Patrol Craft, and Roustabout Tug.

Spotter Patrol Craft

Longer ship built for speed. Powered by ii quasar thrusters at the dorsum of the ship, and is often outfitted with relay antennas and communication arrays.

Roustabout Tug

To salvage them, there are a few precautionary steps you'll need to take.

First, locate the admission panels on the height and bottom of the thruster housing panels. Remove these and send them into the processor to reveal a cutting betoken and one or 2 coolant canisters. Leave the canister for now, then carefully cutting the cut point to disassemble the thruster nozzle from the transport. Ship this to the barge to expose the interior housing of the thruster.

Here, you will find a fuel flush valve, which you can activate to flush the fuel from the pipes into a fuel tank. This volition also split the thruster housing panels in half, allowing you to tether both of these to the processor.

Echo this process for the remaining quasar thrusters, and y'all'll have the majority of the piece of work on the ship out of the way.
