A scavenger is a minor role to retrieve Cargo Canisters found in space, at salvageable wrecks or on a celestial body's surface using a Cargo Scoop. Whether retrieving an item is legal or not can be seen by the GUI text that appears when targeting it - either "Legal Salvage" or "Illegal [[Salvage]]" | A scavenger is a minor role to retrieve Cargo Canisters found in space, at salvageable wrecks or on a celestial body's surface using a Cargo Scoop.

Cargo that a player both jettisons and abandons becomes legal salvage, while if they only jettison it it's illegal salvage for everyone but them. Cargo that is already marked as stolen can only be jettisoned. | Cargo that a player both jettisons and abandons becomes legal salvage, while if they only jettison it it's illegal salvage for everyone but them.

Support is an informal role in which one player aids another by refueling their ship or repairing its hull. This can be accomplished with the [[Limpet Controller/Fuel Transferer|Fuel Transferer]] for refuels, [[Limpet Controller/Repair|Repair]] [[Limpet Controller|Limpet drones]] for hull repairs and the [[Regeneration Sequence]] to restore an energy shield. While this role does not guarantee any monetary reward, it can be an interesting and entertaining pursuit on its own. Many explorers often find themselves in need of fuel or repairs while wandering the far reaches of the galaxy, and combat ships can benefit from hull repairs both during and after a battle. | Support is an informal role in which one player aids another by refueling their ship or repairing its hull.

The Search and Rescue role concerns providing assistance in emergency situations. Certain Legal Salvage items, such as escape pods (occupied or damaged), "black box" flight recorders, and personal effects, can be turned in to a station's [[Search and Rescue Agent]] contact for a reward. [[Station#Damaged State|Damaged stations]] offer passenger missions to evacuate refugees to the nearest [[Rescue Vessel]], and Rescue Vessels offer missions to salvage items from inside damaged stations. | |||
