I've found that when playing Bobby's marvelous UGWingmen v3 mod, it's possible to recover Volkov's services following his encounter with Helena's shipwreck (which is normally the end of the line for Volkov) using the following procedure:

***** Spoiler *****

  • Dock with Volkov's Wolfen (not with Helena's shipwreck).
  • From the dockscreen menu, select "Let me Fly"
  • Fly Volkov's Wolfen away from the shipwreck, until it is well out of comm range.
  • Type "U" to bring up the Use menu, and then "U" again to use "Back to other ship" which returns you to your own playership. Volkov will say "Da! Returning now" and start flying back to form up with you.
  • Immediately start flying towards Volkov to prevent him from getting too close to the shipwreck.
  • When you meet him, he'll form up with you and everything will be back to normal. Just keep Volkov away from that shipwreck and you can continue to utilize his services for the rest of the game. 8-)
From this point on, if you happen to let Volkov gets too close (within about 70 LS) to that shipwreck he'll scream "Noooooo!", dock with the shipwreck, and the whole grim scenario will repeat itself. But you can always get him back again by following the above procedure.
