Ancelus	Posted - 2009.05.14 17:16:00 - [1] Wouldn't it be great to have 5 drones do all that work for you after you finish a mission? You just pull back your attack drones, deploy your Salvage drones, and snap, instant salvage ship. Want to go straight salvage operator? You can fly through a battle field with X salvage rays on your ship and 5 Salvage drones, tack a tractor beam on, and man, you can clean up a 50-100 ship wreck site in 2 or 3 minutes. The salvage drones would operate same as the miners. They can go off whatever range to pick stuff up but need to be within 2500m to drop stuff at your ship. So what do you think?
Trimutius III Legio Octae Rebellion Alliance	Posted - 2009.05.14 17:27:00 - [2] Idea almost as old as salvaging... CCP Zulupark said that maybe one day there would be such drones... ------------------------------------------------- I am envoy from nowhere in nowhere. Nobody and nothing have sent me. And though it is impossible I exist ¬ Trimutius
Bibbleibble	Posted - 2009.05.14 17:30:00 - [3] Originally by: Trimutius III Idea almost as old as salvaging... CCP Zulupark said that maybe one day there would be such drones... This. AFAIK there were technical issues with salvage drones, but I could be wrong. ________________________________________________ Check out my ideas! New Destroyers
Kobushi OCForums	Posted - 2009.05.14 20:26:00 - [4] Edited by: Kobushi on 14/05/2009 20:27:58 attempt to implement then were done in the past...very bad thing shappened with the code/DB, could not be fixed in decent amount of effort. Attempt was dropped.

Teras Menac Gallente Action Inc.	Posted - 2009.05.14 22:02:00 - [6] yeah this would be awesome. /signed
Pvt Public7 Amarr Imperial Academy	Posted - 2009.05.14 22:45:00 - [7] No. Tractor drones would be better. --- SWA was here IAC is a loser
Kahega Amielden Minmatar Suddenly Ninjas	Posted - 2009.05.14 22:56:00 - [8] Would suck. Salvaging is already too much a mechanic to increase the income from missiongrinds.

Salvaging is already too much a mechanic to increase the income from missiongrinds. And why is that a bad thing? I don't know. Lets get the opinion of CCP Prismx Quote: I doubt anyone with a perspective thinks we need to high-sec increase mission grinding any further. It would be a bad thing because hisec missions are already massively overpowered and need to be blasted apart into a thousand bloody pieces by the nerf shotgun.
Martineski	Posted - 2009.05.15 04:53:00 - [12] i have hear rumors of the skill book being in game but the drones never released. however i do not believe salvage/tractor drones will be implemented since the introduction of Marauder Class Battleships. they have a tractor range bonus which would defeat the purpose of such drones. i know some are gonna say what about the wrecks that are outside 40km, well get your ass moving and get in range, they made afterburners for a reason. and there are other ways to salvage wrecks than using drones. for example, the destroyers class ships, and the Hurricane make perfet salvagers.

I don't understand why hi-sec missions need to be blasted apart. I also don't see how salvage drones change the dynamic in any appreciable way. This would be a good middle-ground between people who complain about Ninja salvaging. Hi-Sec missions are not overpowered. If they were worth any less they wouldn't even be worth doing.

I don't see what one thing has to do with another? There are other ways to salvage wrecks, but so what?

Marauder Class Battleships? Not every mission runner is a multi-billionaire you know. "Outside 40km, well get your ass moving and get in range, they made afterburners for a reason" - Does that mean mining lasers should have only 5000m of range? "destroyer class ships, and the Hurricane make perfet salvagers" - so what?
carbonated softdrink	Posted - 2009.05.19 21:45:00 - [16] I been thinking about that for a long while. Even though there are marauders in place, destroyers made salvage ships and so on, takes quite a while to clear a pocket with 80km in between wrecks. Salvage drones or tractor drones, i dont care , any of the two would be awesome until you get to train to a marauder. so /signed

I don't see what one thing has to do with another? There are other ways to salvage wrecks, but so what? i vote for a uber pvp salvage drones that puts out damages like battleships but when they take out a ship they salvage it immediately. i also vote for a god mode, and moar wine.
Wannabehero Absolutely No Retreat	Posted - 2009.05.20 01:09:00 - [18] Originally by: Pvt Public7 No. Tractor drones would be better. Tractor drones would be A+, possibly slower than a targeted tractor, maybe 250 m/s or something along those lines, or something like 200m/s base, but speeds stack for multiple drones on a wreck, up to 1000m/s with five drones towing the wreck in. Idea might merit its own thread.

Amarr Colt	Posted - 2009.05.21 21:13:00 - [20] /signed It is good to be ready to fight and have slots with turrets and launchers, because yesterday when I salvaged one rat attacked me in the dead space and it wasnÆt NPC, I am sure, it was PVP payer. I am sure: salvaging drones could significantly help in this situation.
