Hey all,
I'm relatively new to the game, but I've been focusing on exploration since I finished my tutorials. Right now, I typically clear combat signatures with my cruiser, and I (very slowly) salvage wrecks with one salvager equipped to my cruiser. A few times, I've tried to leave and return with a better salvaging ship, but even when I get back within 5-10 minutes the activation gate has always disappeared.
Can anyone educate me on how to leave and return to a signature with another ship, or if it's even possible? Thanks much in advance!

Bookmark one wreck per acceleration gate, after that, warp to the bookmarks. |

You select one of the wrecks and chose "Save location". That creates a bookmark in your "People and Places" menu.
When you are in the same system where the bookmark is, you can right click in space and warp to the bookmark. It will be in your context menu.
For faster salvaging, use a Noctis with salvaging rigs. |

Train up on Salvage drones.
These little beauties do all the work allowing you to fit a tractor beam instead of a salvager.
You can use the tractor beam to bring in loot canisters, saving you the hassle of flying about all over the place.
If you want a real constant flow of loot and Salvage, do Level 2 and above Security missions.
When you get to the blockade mission, you'll be swimming in wrecks.

You sir need an Orca piloted by an alt so you can carry around all your ships for this task. That way, you could swap from cruiser to salvaging frigate and back as the need requires.
*CCP, I expect a 10% commission as a referral fee should this fine customer ever get that orca alt toon!

Stop giving bad advice. While the "boss" is a nice thing to loot and salvage, the entire rest of the site can net you the components for at least a small rig in the low end sites.
Bookmark a wreck in each room, as the dungeon disapears after you warp out upon finishing the site. The wrecks stay, but as you have learned the acceleration gates and whatnot go poof.

I agree, any salvage is good salvage, especially for a new player.
If your ship has a drone bay, carry some Salvage Drones. After destroying the NPC's, launch the Salvage Drones and right click on the 'Drones in space' text menu and select 'Salvage'. The Drones will automatically salvage all the wrecks leaving you time to gather up all the loot.

Even better, open up the short cuts menu, by pressing escape, and the set the drones to be activated by a press of a key, for example, F.
This way, you don't have to worry about missing the wrong command.
Just make sure that the combat drones don't try to destroy the wreck before you've salvaged it.

Further note about Salvage Drones,
1. If you deploy drones and with nothing targeted tell them to Salvage (launch drones - right click drones in space in the drone window - select salvage) then Salvage Drones will go about salvaging all wrecks within drone range (depends on your skills, but should be at least 30km or so)
2. Once they're off and salvaging, you can target wrecks and tractor beam them into their salvage zone. This is especially effective with a Noctis with bonuses to tractor beam range and speed, but it's a fair investment for a new player and requires faffing about with ship changing.
3. If you have a wreck targeted and launch drones and tell them to salvage, they will salvage the targeted wreck and then sit idle until you tell them to go salvage another, or have nothing targeted and tell all drones to just Salvage as above in point 1.
4. Shortcut keys (set up in the ESC menu) don't seem to work for issuing the general Salvage command, but will get your drones to salvage your current targeted wreck.
I usually run the site or mission, bookmark a wreck in each pocket then warp back to the wrecks directly after changing ships or completing the mission. Arrive at the wrecks, launch drones, set them salvaging then tractor all the wrecks into a big pile. Loot wrecks and cans, leave the drones to the salvaging.
Alternatively, a Destroyer makes a very good beginner salvage vessel. They're small, quick with plenty of high slots for tractors and salvagers plus rigs for salvage tackle, lows for cargo expanders and mids for microwarp drives to zip around the place.
In fact, the new Gallente Algos can bring Salvage Drones too. As Destroyers is currently a non-racial skill, should be easy to train for something like this which is a great ship for salvaging until you can afford the expense, time and skills for a decent Noctis:

Opportunity cost.
In the time he's spending salvaging frigates in high-sec exploration sites and maybe making 1m ISK, he could be doing another site that might drop a 100m module. IMHO if you like salvaging, missions offer you a much more consistent supply of wrecks. IMHO if you're exploring, the only reason to turn rats into wrecks is so that you can get to the overseer can/wreck. I mean, he could also mine the rocks in exploration sites and manufacture his own ammo if he wanted to, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea (as far as I'm concerned). |

Exploration, especially in hi-sec, is all about blitzing sites, the slower you are the less isk you make... if you are salvaging you are doing it wrong, you would be better of running missions.

Blitz a half-dozen sites, come back and clean up those wrecks left behind later. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Because the amount of ISK earned is a measurement for how far you "got in this game"?

People are clearly not doing exploration, mining, missions, etc. to earn isk, which they need to achieve some goal within the game. But you are right, if all you want to do i spin ships all day you don't need isk.

Guess it depends on your motivation.
I like ISK, don't get me wrong, but I also like variety and doing salvaging, PI and a bunch of other non-optimal stuff is fun IMO.
If I let isk/hr and squeezing maximum efficiency out of every aspect dictate my choices, EVE would be a job and not a fun activity.
Sometimes I'll happily blitz stuff, but I can't scan site after site and spend all my time zooming through places to pop anything with Dread Gurista on it scoop it and repeat ad nauseum. Bleh...
I make decent enough ISK without worrying that I'm 0.4 seconds faster if I do X and keep things fun and interesting.
I guess some people are motivated by how much ISK they can possibly make in a given time frame (which IMO is a false economy in exploration as these people often 'forget' to factor in that run of 20 DED 4/10 where they got squat/tags/ammo.
You'll need to make your own mind up OP. |

Ayame Tao, have you checked to make sure your not typing the salvage command short cut key in the chat window?
That happens to me quite a bit.
Running missions does provide a better run of wrecks and loot, but when you find a dangerous DED site ie 6/10, you'll be wanting the loot more than the wrecks.
I've not done a 6/10 DED before, but when I did a lvl 4 mission with some corp members I ran out of cargo hold space when using my Vexor.
The choice is yours OP.

Someone outlines the model almost everyone is using for hi-sec exploration, and you call it bad advice, and continue to defend the idea of salvaging wrecks in hi-sec sites is more fun the running the combat sites.
To answer your question, i had more fun then the guy salvaging wreck all day.

Tell the internet more about this "scale of fun" you have created, and where everything lies upon said scale.
For example, I make approximately 0 isk woodworking in my garage in the summer, and am curious to know if this activity is more fun than salvaging/less fun than running combat sites, or if it falls even below salvaging on the universal fun scale.
Often, I log into EVE and simply chat with friends for half an hour or so, maybe update my skill queue, and then log off. This is less fun than salvaging confirm/deny?

What level cap? To me he makes a good point, but it would depend on play-style.
I'd rather be fighting something that requires some engagement than sitting idle while something salvages for me. Or I'd be exploring and scanning sites down, rather than waiting for something to salvage for me. I don't mine either - too tedious. I'll buy a PLEX if I need an injection of ISK.
Generally I try to play more for fun than for anything else and I wouldn't play the way you're suggesting people should play. Your way seems incredibly tedious and boring to me and that has nothing to do with level caps, but more with mindless, non-engaged activities you seem to suggest are fun.

Also a FYI wrecks like jet cans last around 2 hours. So when making a bookmark using wrecks just name it the time in game . So you know which sites to go to first, as it is better to run multiple sites if you have skills to do a few fast enough before wrecks start to disappear. |

Stop saying that. This is the reason high security systems don't have many exploration sites available other than w-holes and Drone sites.
Also for a new player, salvaging the wrecks is definitely a must. They don't have the skills or the equipment to quickly scan and 'Blitz' exploration sites.
I use to only salvage medium and large wrecks. However, now I just launch Salvage Drones and let them do their thing while I'm checking wrecks for high meta level loot. By the time I'm done checking the loot, the Salvage Drones are usually close to being done as well.

I'd just like to point out:
-+ If people blitz sites, they'll respawn sooner, giving someone else a chance at running them, meaning more sites around.
-+ If someone sits and loots and salvages a site, it'll take longer to respawn, meaning less sites around for other people. |

I find salvage drones are just as quick by the time you've warped around. I guess it depends how much you want to wring out the ISK/hour.

I'd just like to point out that it doesn't matter if the site takes longer to re-spawn due to looting and salvaging the wrecks since the site isn't going to re-spawn near by anyway. There's no way a new explorer with minimal skills and stock equipment can blitz sites. They're better off looting and salvaging everything that's available in the site.
