I've used an Interdictor for my dedicated salvaging ship, although I do like the looks of this one. The one thing I'd like to see on the ship is a drone bay. Every ORE ship that exists has drone bay large enough to field a wing of light drones. Even the Orca has a good-sized drone bay. Granted, this is being classified as an Industrial ship, but then how many Industrials have 8 high-slots? --- If you've read something I posted and want to contact me, EVE-Mail me, or contact me via EVE Gate. |

Not to mention that in EVE you tend to pay a premium for that extra bit of efficiency. Think about it: Hulks aren't THAT much better than Covetors, yet you pay massively for them. ----------

Edited by: Jade Tranquility on 17/09/2010 21:32:10 So, CCP is making an industrial ship that is intended for hisec mission runners to be only accesible in nullsec until a pilot, unlikely to be accustomed to the area, goes to pick up the required objects. What? The ORE line of ships should not be originating out of nullsec at all if they are intended for hisec use. The only exhumers I know of that are at all designed for nullsec use are the skiff and the hulk, yet the skiff can't tank anything, nor do I think a hulk can tank a nullsec belt spawn.
The skillset you need for most ore ships is expensive enough. Make ore ships more readily available to hisec players so that they don't die trying to get these things to use in hisec.
I certainly won't be abandoning my salvage destroyers for this overpriced, useless ship. And until you decide to seed these things in hisec, I'm not sure how many people are going to be dumb enough to go die trying to get it from where you will be offering it. Please start seeding these in hisec, and stop feeding the asshats who live down in outer ring easy kills

A salvaging ship fills a role that no other ship or class had before, good idea and also well balanced.
Maybe also a good opportunity to look at the quite few t1 frigs and cruisers that either lack a role or cannot fulfill theirs due to weak fittings or attributes. As example the "Condor" is supposed to be a tackler but cannot mwdand warp disrupt due to cap, if ab and warp disrupt the merlin is better if mwd and warp scram the merlin is still better.
There are alot of ships in eve that are rarely if ever used or could simply do with a slight buff - since the Paper-Stone-Scissors lives through variety and is eves biggest pvp appeal, it would only make sense to spend time on this, to me atleast :) -

Hey, wouldn't the release of this ship also be the time to make wrecks probable again?
(Wrecks are small and do not have functioning electronics in them. Probing them should be hard and slow. I am NOT asking for a faster way to gank mission runners ... I just want it to be possible to get at abandoned, rotting wreck fields in my shiny new Noctis.)

Originally by: Tonto Auri Reduce all numbers ten times and it MAY BE became useful. 60 mil build cost for a damned salvager - my destroyer overthrow it by a huge margin.
You don't know what you're talking about. People would pay billions for this ship. In fact I'm gonna be a douche here and say that CCP should increase the cost considerably:
Firstly, because the ship is simply too good for its price. I'd say currently you get at least 60M/h of loot and salvage with a dedicated salvager. Noctis does it twice as fast so it pays itself back in one hour.
Secondly, because there should always be room for improvement if you have money to burn. Getting the perfect salvage ship for only 60M doesn't sound right. Sure you can fit T2 salvage tackles on it but it's still not expensive. And there's not even officer Expanded Cargoholds or anything.
Thirdly, too specialized ships take all the fun decision making out of the game. People don't have to make difficult choices anymore if CCP basically tells us that we should use ship A for this purpose and ship B for that purpose. Now every noob will be using Noctis for salvaging.
And finally, because there is no need to encourage hisec mission running. It's already too profitable.

Reread the dev blog, they are not seeding SHIPS, the ate seeding SKILL BOOKS and BPOs.
People will make the ships wherever they want, transport the skill books to HiSec for a profit, and everything will be just like all the other skills and BPOs seeded in the game. _____________________________ http://twitter.com/krispy_dingo http://krispydingo.com |

Quote: Your math above is flawed
No. I'm comparing potential of one hull to potential of another hull. Not comparing certain fittings (where, yes, you should compare what it does).
Originally by: Tippia It's a special-purpose battlecruiser ù being as cheap to build as a normal BC is entirely reasonable due to its limitations.
Aww, sorry my noobness, which of the non-special-purpose battlecruisers cost 60mil to build? I'm seeing only those around 20-25mil.
Then dont buy one. seriously, vote with your wallet.
i personally have 60m to throw at a salvaging ship and the isk for a bpo. im sure many other happy people will too. Catalyst is still good for ninja salvaging too.
so we get a shiny new ship and the destroyers new lease on life has been cut back. so those that cant afford a noctis will fly dessies and those that can will upgrade.
i approve ccp, this goes in line with your pledge to make the next two expansions more about polish while still throwing us a new feature or ship. -

You missed the point. Getting said books and BPO's are going to be an utter pain in the ass. It's nullsec. It's going to be camped to hell because it's funny making people lose 390mil for every BPO they're trying to get out.

Ok it is my understanding everyone and his cousin will buy one and not only mission runners but 0.0 guys too (salvaging/looting a battlefield will be piece of cake).
My question is what will I use my Marauder for since getting a faction BS and Noctis will be a must from now on? If you donÆt care where you are, you ainÆt lost. |

Use it for what it was always for, blitzing through a mission whilest at the same time either setting up to make the salvage op much easier by tractoring all the wrecks together or just cherry picking the best wrecks and leaving the rest for the ninjas. Extra money with very little added time per mission, I believe thats worth the cost of a marauder.

Originally by: Tonto Auri Reduce all numbers ten times and it MAY BE became useful. 60 mil build cost for a damned salvager - my destroyer overthrow it by a huge margin. There's just no field for such unproportionally overexpensive othervise-useless boat. It should cost no more than a Covetor to build.
considering many people consider the hurricane to be the best salvage ship it really isn't that much more expensive.
àin fact, considering how it's become increasingly common for people to use T3 ships to get to similar bonuses, it's downright dirt cheap.
This, I actually use a T3 Salvager, it's nice to finally see a ship dedicated to this role, although I now feel like the T3 skills were wasted on my industrial alt :(
I agree this is more than a fair price for the hull, hell, I expected it to be more expensive (paid on the order of 10x that for my T3). To those *****ing about the BPO location/price, give it a week, at the most, and you will see copies all over Jita, and every other trade hub. Industrial pilots can make money by seeding these elsewhere, therefor they will be seeded elsewhere by those players.
