Edited by: Vidi Angelus on 30/06/2009 01:07:52 Edited by: Vidi Angelus on 30/06/2009 00:56:18 So now the T3 cruiser prices are dropping down, I'm looking at fitting one out as a ninja salvager.
So Far, I've come up with this:
Proteus , Ninja Salv
Electronics: Emergent Locus Analyzer (10% Probe Scan, +20% Tractor Range+Speed, -99% CPU for Probe laucher)
Offensive: Drone Synthesis Projector (5% Med Hyb Damage, 10% Drone damage, 7.5% drone hitpoints)
Defensive: Augmented plating (10% Armor HP)
Propulsion: Interdiction Nullifier ( Immune to bubble, 5% Agility)
Engineering: Augmented Capacitor Reservoir (%5 Drone MWD, 7.5% Drone HP)
Highs: Salvager II Salvager II Salvager II Salvager II Sisters's Probe Launcher Improved Cloaking Device Mids: Medium Cap Booster II (200s) 10MN MicroWarpDrive II 10MN Afterburner II Lows: 1600 Rolled Tungston EM Hardener II Thermal Hardener II Explosive Hardener II Inertia Stabilizer II
Rigs: Drone speed I Salvage tackle I Grav cap upgrade I
Drones Warrior II *10 Ogre *5 (max 4,) Hammerhead II *5
EHP is 71,469 , With 77.5% EM, 85.4% Therm, 83.8% Kin , & 59.5% Explosive, Hardeners can be swapped for local rats.
DPS = 380/w Ogres ,121 with warriors, (If combat fit is needed the AB is replaced with warp disruptor, the salvagers with 3*Med Railgun, 1* Med Neut, adds 105 DPS w/ Caldari Navy Anti, Or All Neuts) Has two flights of light drones, and a flight of mediums + Heavys. Which both recive two speed bonuses, a double HP bonus, and a damage bonus)
Is immune to bubbles, has a 45% salvage access bonus on 4 salvagers, Has two probe scan bonuses. Also has a cloak fitted. Speed is 453m/s with Burner, 1152 with MWD (owch)
Is cap stable under almost all circumstances, and has a cap booster to fight Neut ships. Aligns in 5.3 Seconds (weakest point of the design)
I'm cross trained Caldari and gallente. the Tengu does salvaging better, but with a smaller tank & no DPS.
Could anyone offer any suggestions?

I thought the whole point of Ninja salvaging was not to get attacked. If you're getting attacked, you fail. If you're not getting attacked, why do you need to have drones, tank, etc...

so lemme get this straight, you think just because t3 cruisers are getting cheaper (they are), youre gonna go spend 200 million on a ship, then another 800mil-1bil on subsystems to.....salvage? What the hell is wrong with you?

EHP is meaningless on a ship that doesn't get aggression from the people you're stealing from.
If you did decide to loot in this I would go out of my way to refit a mission ship with a point.

tl;dr version first: your idea is stupid because you gain nothing over a T1 frig
First, your speed sucks. 453m/s with AB on? Small tractors are 500m/s. That's a hint. More importantly, a cheap little T1 frig is going to clear a pocket of wrecks significantly faster than your comparatively lumbering T3 cruiser. You want to get done as fast as possible so you can move on to the next place to salvage. Something as slow as your fit is a complete failure.
Second, that big tank is completely meaningless. If you pull aggro as a ninja, you're doing something wrong. If you pull aggro and start taking meaningful damage (and this is in a T1 frig I'm talking about), you're doing something seriously wrong. If you start taking real damage, and can't warp to a safe spot before you're in danger, well that's just pathetic.
Third, angry ninja targets who decide to shoot you. If you're in a T1 frig, you warp out and switch to a PVP ship and blow your target away. In your fit, you still have to run away and at least switch fits, if not ships entirely. Nothing gained there, and if the target manages to destroy the salvaging frig, nothing's lost, since one large wreck can potentially provide enough salvage to buy and fit several good ninja frigs. If you've bought a T3 cruiser, you'll have a much better time of it if you keep it as a combat fit and use a real ninja salvage ship to do that part.
Not saying you wouldn't be able to ninja just fine in your proposed ship, but you're going to perform worse than something costing a fraction of one of your rigs, let alone your full ship. Some people have no problem paying hundreds of millions for a few percent increase in performance, but you're doing the opposite, here. When you sacrifice most of your speed for things that don't matter... Yeesh. If you want to pay too much, get an Interceptor or AF as your salvage ship. They actually can outperform a T1 frig.

Thirdeded. This surely has to be a troll though.
What salvage does a t3 shipwreck give anyway?

<-- Yet another disappointed customer!
During my first foray into a WH I tried to ninja salvage in the middle of a heated two-fleet RR BS battle over a partially-cleared site, to see if it was possible to salvage anything and flee before I was noticed. I learned the hard way that Sleepers are generous with their affections: my cov ops was one-shot by the Sleeper BSes before a single salvager cycle could finish.
There are probably a number of options for surviving the aggro in a lower class WH (e.g. t3 would be a good mix of survivability and maneuverability, although that's a lot risked), but due to the high alpha and scramming issues in high-value sites I doubt that any ship could survive a solo ninja salvage attempt. You'd have to bring in a ninja salvaging RR fleet, and that would just be ridiculous (but funny!).

Pros of the fit:
-Can scan almost as well as a covops ship without switching
-4x salvager IIs + Salvage Tackle means you'll have few issues salvaging
-Probably has good cargo room for loot
-Can be EASILY refit for MR gank if someone opposes yourlooting.
cons:
-Slow Proteus is sloooow. 453 m/s is way too slow. My Stabber can go 1km/s with a 10mn AB, and even then i sometimes find travelling moderate distances a pain (for large distances, I have a 100mn AB).
Without look at EFT, my advice is to drop everything in the lows and use 3x ODs and 2x Istabs. You can replace the medium cap booster with a LSE. Why are you worried about neut ships? That's a ninjaboat; just use the ingame fitting feature to quickly swap to a combat fit if needed. Your ninjaship's combat stats are impressive, but it's not going to break a missionrunner's active tank. If you're really worried, you can replace one of the ODs/istabs with a DCII or something.
My Stabber runs a single LSE for tank, and I've never really come close to getting popped in it...and I'm sure the Proetus is naturally MUCH tougher. You do however have to be very vigilant...never go AFK when you have missionrunner aggro or when there are rats in the room (I did the former once on a mission gate).
Quote: Not saying you wouldn't be able to ninja just fine in your proposed ship, but you're going to perform worse than something costing a fraction of one of your rigs, let alone your full ship.

When you sacrifice most of your speed for things that don't matter... Yeesh. If you want to pay too much, get an Interceptor or AF as your salvage ship. They actually can outperform a T1 frig.
I'm assuming he'll be looting in this...which is where the real strength of a cruiser comes in. Admittedly, he'll need to get a ****load more speed out of that thing before it even competes with a stabber. However, a Proteus ninjasalvager wins on sheer badassery.
Also, I'm not sure an AF would outperform a t1 frig for ninjaing. More highs of course, but they aren't generally as agile.

Yeah, looting would be a good use. Still, epically slow is not the right way to go. As for AFs... I included it as they're possible to do some things with that you can't as well with a T1, without sacrificing much. *shrug*

Yeah I was thinking of swapping the MWD for a 100Mn Afterburner, If the plate gets dropped it'll fit with plenty of grid spare.
Reason for the Tank is because it'll end up going to my 0.0 home from time to time, Having a nice buffer means my high ISK coffin will survive long enough to gatecrash/force off small targets/ Wait for Help to arrive. If its expensive I'd like it not to be paper thin as well. But I'll concede it can do with a lot less tank.
With the lows replaced with 3* OD, 2* Inert & 1 Explosive hardener it has 4.1s Align & 1220 M/s , 1700+ Overheated & 30K odd EHP, 36K with LSE -Much better :)
& To Someone above, The tractor bonus comes with the Probe bonus module, Its not as if I can choose 
As for going AFK, theres always the cloak or whatnot, but in this i doubt i will be :p

if you want speed, slap a core x-type 100mn AB on a Loki with the Fuel Catalyst sub, few nanos and you're going 2.5km/sec 
though it might take a while to get to that speed

Edited by: Enden Assulu on 30/06/2009 20:35:30 The thing is that, you could PvP in this if you have such deep pockets. People tend to ninja salvage for ISK, which is obviously not why you are doing it.
So why are you doing it in the first place, unless you are griefing in which case you are better off in a cheaper ship that the missioner will shoot and then going back in in this thing fit for PvP. Although I would prefer a Navy Mega with sexy faction mods :|

I make my money trading, I ninja salvage to relax. If I was bothered about making bank I'd use a cheaper ship for sure. I want a shiny toy to enjoy, And my pockets are full enough to buy a toy, but not deep enough to warrent PVP- Not to mention the stress of losing one, Eve is a game after all If my pockets get that deep, With these subsystems it wouldn't make an awful gang ship, 2 Neuts+ 450 DPS, Cloak probes & bubble immunity.
Don't need a Bentley to get to work, but it'd sure be nice :)
I only ninja from expensive ships/fittings, Not from cheap ships. A twisted robin hood if you will :P
