Don't troll bro. Apparently you cannot read. I knew there would be one who couldn't. I SAID STARTER FRIGATE. One that is specially made for salvaging. This gives credibility to the salvaging profession and reinforces that it is an actual profession. If I wanted to build a make-shift salvaging vessel out of a destroyer, I would.
Do without then jackass. The dessy is freakin awesome at salvaging, so much so it was pretty much the salvaging ship before the noctis thanks to its speed.
So why don't you stick with your super awesome destroyer???

I mined in a rohk for a long time and I had new corpie recently mine in a T3 BC.. they also worked great.. why introduce the venture. People should think a little to what life was like as a new player before rolling their faces across keyboards with half arse responses.
A salvage frig will be cheap,
It should have bonuses similar to the noctis
it should have a larger cargo hold
fweddit will find a way to PVP in it, so they will be happy to

I still think it should go up on features and ideas. People in this thread are mostly bitter vet trolls...
Again, any specialty salvage frig with bonuses that is even a smidge better than destroyers are at salvaging would be severely imbalances, and would not leave much to gain and be excited about when a player jumps to a Noctis. Destroyers pretty much already are the salvaging equivalent of the venture. Super cheap, super effective, and super short training time. The fact that it can do other things also is just a nice bonus, so quit looking at it as a drawback simply because it isn't specialized enough for you. As I've already pointed out, the average new player would be flying this spiffy new frigate you suggest for only a week, or maybe less, before being able to fly and afford a Noctis. Not really an effective use of developer time and resources.
Being that I want to be part of the solution rather than just point out issues with the idea, I will offer up thus suggestion. Spend 12 long minutes training for a destroyer, name it "super awesome specialty rookie salvage ship", and be content that you're quickly, easily, and cheaply flying a ship that does it's job just as well as the venture does its respective job.
