I know people have asked about larger tractor beams and have been suggest other ships were the bigger sizes etc.
What I'm wondering is if there was a down side to have a skill or something that makes the tractor faster?? Bad idea? I've thought about it as how it could be exploited, but you can only tractor your own wrecks and loots anyways, so why not just make it faster?
The other thing is that I was wondering if we could suggest since eve is getting somewhat old and pretty stale in animations. Not that the graphics haven't been upgraded which they are and they are very pretty. I'm wondering if they could somehow work on some of the hulls for certain ships (or even the color of the exhaust) I love the Nyx and the Megathron, abaddon next....actually most amarr ships are pretty (I fly gallente so no bias here). Also the Deimos with the green look and the green exhaust make it a very pretty ship to look at. Some of the ships can be worked on a little. Complete hull overhaul or something. I don't know exactly if this would require a lot of work code wise. I don't doubt that some artists out there would like to put a touch to it though.
Yay or Nay??

Well the issue is. Doing this would make lewting easier and thusly more people would do it. This devalues lewt and salvage. So there's a pretty much double edge there when just looking at those salvaging. Now calculate the mineral changes due to the extra lewt or even meta 4 stuff. Mineral changes due to mod reprocessing would hurt miners. More meta 4 stuff hurts 0.0
So just by adding this one mod to make lvl 4 runners more convenient. it hurts so many others. So why would they do that. Of note. The module exists already. They only need to publish the item basically. They chose not to for those reasons.

You must be new to eve because it has been brutally changed several times now. The issue is that they want to keep the minimum requirements low for crappy computer people to keep playing. Doing any drastic in bring uber quality to eve can have subscriber issues. That being said... you should check out http://dl.eve-files.com/media/0908/The_Dominix_A_Documentary.avi
compare that to the latest dominix. the rogue drones dominix, the sin, the navy dominix. etc etc. Also the video itself is pretty funneh.

To make a megathron from scratch, you must first invent the eve universe.

there are actually 4 skills for faster tractor beams:
1. marauder -> ships: golem/kronos/paladin/vargur
2. industrial command ship -> ships: orca
3. capital industrial ship -> ships: rorqual
4. Strategic Cruiser of your choice with "Emergent Locus Analyzer" Electronics subsystem -> ships: legion/loki/proteus/tengu
hope this helps.
and you ship changing suggestion is too unspecific.
not supported.
(edit: i failed at counting)

Sorry I was unclear it seems. I'm not saying graphics wise. I do understand that EvE is a LOT prettier then it was in the old days. That I realize. However, no matter how many shining lights you put on **** it still is ****.
My point about the ship change is that we all have ships we hate looking at and wonder how did they make it. Mine is the dominix and a few other ships. Leave the ship basically the same just change the hull design on it. Thats what I'm suggest is just a hull change thats all. Not a huge graphic overhaul to make the image come out of my screen and hit me in the face. Just that there are some ships that look REALLY bad and some that look really awesome. How about changing the ones that look bad into something that looks awesome, or at least decent on the eyes :).
Scorpion looks ugly too :)
*edit* you were also right on the velocity increase on the maruaders. Didn't realize that, always thought it was just range lol since all the arguements I've read about salvagers was about range. I never had a problem with range just speed. Apologies
