Fixed. now "newt".

A general comment on salvage donations it is very problematic. Whilst donating fleets hirr-style has been frowned upon as unfair (it's the reason why JBG won Round 16 or whatever instead of Elviz, iirc), it's hard to police and harder to show that. As an example, for two people who are MORTAL ENEMIES, person A sends their fleet at person B who kills/steals it all, and they both get closed, and person A and their friends all circlejerk over getting a top planet.

Whatever else happens next round, Zik salvage will be nerfed. Salvage from attacking ships will also be nerfed.
We've tweaked and nerfed salvage repeatedly over the rounds to try and stop abuse whilst still giving defenders something to encourage them to lose ships whilst defending (i.e. making attacks less of a certain yes/no), and rewarding smaller planets more than big planets as (perhaps until the run fleet option was introduced) they were more likely to have their ships bashed repeatedly and still keep playing.

P.S. the multihunters went over the top planets near the end of the round to take away the obvious 'donations', and spent a while reverting several donations on 4 of the top 10 planets. Two of those planets actually voluntarily pointed out the fleets and lost ticks defending them, which shows they are honest and tbh respect to them.
Just because the MH don't brag about it though, doesn't mean they don't do anything.
