Here's a salvage ship you can use:

The major problem is that I have no way to aim with an unfocused salvage beam, but I could cheat and just have one beam focus

hmm maybe use the outermost output groups as a sort of bounds check and use the center of the group(s) as the aiming point? :) Than have it go into focus firing when unfocused can't hit. Just an idea.

Works well, you can notice it that 1 beam aims and the rest just fires but it doesn't cause any issues. Fix confirmed
