There are roughly 4 mini-professions in the game,
Salvaging
Gas Minning
Hacking
Archeology
Yes two of them are badly underused and Gas Minning has only really taken off recently with Apocolyptica.
Two or three more updates increasing the common value of Hacking and Archeology may be required to make this idea feasable at all.
Now there are four races. What if each race had a unique Cruiser sized ship that was low on price but specialized in on one of the above professions.
Is this just an excuse for another T2 Exequror? Maybe.

why t2 only?
the game is in desperate need of a science vessel, and i see no reason why we cant have a t1 version and a t2 version, somewhat like the logsitics ships.
with the logistics ships, it goes somewhat like this:
minmatar t1: tracking links caldari t1: shield reppers amarr t1: cap transfer gallente t1: armor reppers
minni t2: tracking AND shield reppers minor bonus caldari: shield reppers AND cap tranfer amarr: cap tranfer AND armor reppers gallente armor reppers AND tracking links
why not do something similar with these ships?

Actually Explorer cruiser look a lot like what I was thinking.
Mind I wasn't actually thinking specifically of a T2 ship per say.

Edited by: Typhado3 on 07/05/2009 09:24:48 I reckon it could work.
also on behalf of the minmatar race I call shotgun on the gas harvester cruiser.

Nice idea, atleast so far :) What i would like to see, is a ship specialized in salvaging, i mean there are marauders, they are indeed good salvage ships, and way to expensive to use only for salvaging :) So, a cruiser or battle cruiser class ship which would have tracktor beams bonuses (maybe even not as big as marauders have), could be a very appealing ship for a deticated salvager.
yes, there is Hurrigane, it is allmost perfect for this job, but tracktor beams working at only 20km range (in real situation is more like 19km) makes salvaging a very borring thing to do, becouse you need to slowboat alot, well one could use mwd or something, but that does not work in dead space.
So my idea of cheap deticated salvager would go like this: take some ship like hurrigane, it has decent cargo hold, 8 high slots, plenty of low slots (for cargo expanders) and it cost quite cheap (about 30mil). And if ccp could make a ship like this only with less cpu/grid/turret hardpoints but it could have bonus to tracktor beams lets say to make them work at 30km range plus few % bonus to increase a ship's chance of salvage retrieval. I would be one very happy salvager :)
And it is only an idea, it is not necesary have to be a battle cruiser, cruiser with such bonuses could be very nice too. Becouse if i want to have a decent savlge ship, i only have 2 ways out:
1. Train for minmatar battlecruisers (which is good only for those ppl who actually fly minmatar ships and the rest have to waste some sp, not too much tho).
2. Save like 900mil for marauder and train hell of alot skills for it.
So i really really would be happy with "little marauder" designed specifically for salvaging.

Edited by: skye orionis on 07/05/2009 20:17:26 This was suggested as possible bonuses for T3 ship components, but a seperate ship might work.
How about making these faction ships, Salvaging -> Thukker Tribe Archaeology -> Sisters Of Eve Hacking -> Sansha Gas Mining -> Serpentis
Or just make them Sisters of Eve ships, after all in a sense the mining barges are ORE vessels, so the science ships could be Sisters Vessels.
