several years ago when salvaging was introduced to the game the catalyst became the number one salvager, everyone was using it. then as years went on we saw new salvage ships and modules develop and the catalyst was relegated to pirate ganking and other stuff. but does anyone out there still use the old rust bucket for salvaging anymore? just curious.

If you don't use a noctis, a destroyed would still be a very good salvager. TBH I would have preferred the dedicated salvager to be a destroyer sized ship and not BC dimensioned.
I'd add a destroyer sized T1 logistics to ORE, make a T2 version for salvaging and change all existing Noctis' to that one, add the Primae as a proper T1 PI ship and a T2 version named Noctis as a covert command ship/explorer/surveyor. Though I don't see that ever happening.

Yep!
I think Destroyers are still a very viable alternative to the Noctis, especially since the introduction of mobile tractor units.
Almost as effective and a lot cheaper when it gets ganked.

I still have some of mine but I used the noctis when I used to mission. I just hate missions so badly I dont unless the gf wants some quick cash.

Quick (and crappy) salvage alt in an Algos with the bonus to the drones MWD speed before they get their skills up. Have it in the pocket you just completed, set drones to salvage and walk away (go back to main with mission running). If you want drop an MTU or don't if you don't want to risk accidentally having your primary mission runner drones attacking the guy who shot at your MTU if you leave them to aggressive.
Beyond that drop a few MTU's while mission running and come back in a dessie with drones + salvagers and lows filled with cargo expanders with all the wrecks in one location thanks to the MTU. I can't see why it won't be effective, not as good as an Noctis but still effective. I wouldn't mind seeing a dessie built for mission looting with a separate cargo hold for MTU's, bonus to salvager drones speed/salvage chance and salvagers in general. As an added bonus they be easier to gank than the Noctus in high sec, bring company and you can almost guarantee you can gank the mission runners ship and get their pod.

They are far more useful in wormholes than a Noctis is. Easier to replace being a big component of that.

I'm still using my trusty Thrasher for cleaning up my trash, it's actually one of the oldest ships I own.
I must admit to not bothering with salvage any more, I'll run multiple missions, bookmark the pockets and then go back and just drop an MTU to hoover up all the loot before the wrecks pop.

Do salvage drones even have a MWD? I never noticed them using one, just like mining drones.

I use a stealth bomber to salvage... because, despite all the wishful thinking in the world, I still can't fit torps on a Cormie. Just saying.

No, I don't even bother to salvage anymore. Find salvaging too boring these days.
Edit: I do still loot however, as I use the minerals to make my own ammo. |

As an inhabitant of deep dark holes (wat) salvage is a must.
We use Noctis, but i will start recommending the use of Dessies.

The only surprising thing to me is that people still use a Noctis. When I was in wormholes this is what we did:
1) Carry MTUs;
2) Warp to site, drop MTU;
3) Complete site, warp to next;
4) Drop MTU;
5) When out of MTU's, go back to first site and pick one up
6) Warp to next, drop MTU;
7) When sick of killing sleepers put expensive ships away;
8) Take cheap ass destroyers and warp to MTU bms;
9) Salvage up the nanoribbons and blue loot;
10) Warp to next site 2min later and repeat.
I killed a few Nocti once MTUs became a thing and I could never understand why. I was grateful that they brought expensive ship out for me to kill, but still unclear as to why they'd do such a thing. Even if some one wanted to kill one of the MTU's to steal our stuff, they have a stupid amount of hitpoints and we'd probably have enough time to reship and come kill them.
Now that I'm in nullsec I don't even salvage. Drop a MTU to collect the loot and leave everything else.
