Ambiva Artemis Incorporation Order of the Khanid Crown	Posted - 2006.12.06 03:56:00 - [1] Reason: 1 They have 8 Hi Slots 2 They are Fast (Interdictor will be even faster) 3 They have decent cargo capacity 4 No high-salvage skill needed Hi Slots 6 X Salvager 1 2 X Small tractor beam Med Slot at least 1 X AB Low Slot Nano, or Cap relay for amarr head to one wreck, Tractor another 2 Fire 6 X salvager I I usually succeed in 1 volley, at most 2, rarely 3 (my salvage skill LVL2) extremely efficient salvage ship!

Ritualiztic Suizide Black Watch Legionnaires	Posted - 2006.12.06 04:05:00 - [4] Ya I use a destroyer (Catalyst) 5x salvager 1 3 x small tractor 1x AB 3x basic cargo expander. I might dump the cargo expanders for a bit more speed. Only problem i have run into is cap problems. Trying to salvage with all 5 RS I Rather Die on My Feet Than Live On my Knees
Lithalnas Amarr Hadean Drive Yards	Posted - 2006.12.06 04:05:00 - [5] In Rust We Trust i actually like my arbitrator for salvaging, mainly because its drones an 1 heavy launcher with 3 salvagers, or 2 salvagers and 1 tractor. ------------- Cadet Lithalnas - Logistics Division - Hadean Drive Yards

Salvage yourself? It was sitting in the back of my hanger hungry and upset because I've neglected it for a year and a half, so I geared it with some tractor beams, some salvagers, and a lot of love.

Sokratesz Guardians of Hell's Gate Tactical Narcotics Team	Posted - 2006.12.06 06:17:00 - [12] i need 3 cap rechargers for the 6 salvagers to work 24/7 on my cormorant :( Basilisk Fitting Link
Agrias Hellion Diligentia Sodalitas	Posted - 2006.12.06 22:04:00 - [13] I have an alt follow me around with a Coercer, 4 salvagers, 4 beams, named AB, 200mm plate, nano and nanofibre. Works great and can help to take down frigates while salvaging. If you stick a full complement of salvagers on, or beams you will probably end up getting toasted. Belt salvage with the above setup usually means I can create my own salvage as I go. :)
Free Mason Caldari	Posted - 2006.12.06 22:19:00 - [14] Yeah dude the destroyer is king for salvaging. I fit it with 6 salvagers, 2 trctors I use as many salvagers as I can on each can I pull in. I am guaranteed to get something if it has anything at all. it has enough cargo to pull in a few bs drops (which is where the good parts are multiple per wreak is great) sadly tho the rate at wich you find stuff seems very low. I was following around buddies in low sec taking every wreak in the entire system for hrs. i ended up with a mere 52 parts I think these rigs are gonna be expensive as heck... if it takes me that long to get 50 parts these rigs are gonna take days n days of looting to get. I was better off mining in my hulk... but a change of pace is always a blast
KillerOfMacros	Posted - 2006.12.06 22:30:00 - [15] I use my geddon as it is my drone ship... the domi would also work well.
Nocturnal Prince Tech 2 Holdings Limited	Posted - 2006.12.06 23:29:00 - [16] Ive been running lvl 3 and 4 missions using a Domi with salvagers on it. Why wait for the mission to be over? Salvage as you kill. .
Benco97 Gallente Multiverse Corporation	Posted - 2006.12.07 00:02:00 - [17] Edited by: Benco97 on 07/12/2006 00:03:01 I use a Reaper! I called it "Tiny salvager" and it's fitting is: High : 2 X Salvager 1 Mid : 1 X Cold gas arcthingy AB Low : Inertia stabiliser thingy Drone : 1 X Warrior II It's fun, fast, almost completely free (Except the drone, but that could be replace with a TI)and to be honest it's fine for cleaning up after someone who's been killing things. Some call me mad for flying the ships I do... I think they may be right. "MY GOD KEEP THIS AWAY FROM BENCO97!!!!!" - Constantine Arcanum
Jei'son Bladesmith Caldari Bladesmith Mining and Development Consortium	Posted - 2006.12.07 00:49:00 - [18] I think we can all agree that as a pure-salvage ship destroyers are the best, but I think the Thrasher is the king of salvagers for one simple reason - its the only destroyer that LOOKS like its been salvaged itself :) I mean c'mon, its got "salvage barge" written all over it! * Not Just Cool...Warp to 0 Cool *
Safaomae Amarr Viziam	Posted - 2006.12.07 00:52:00 - [19] definitely the cheapest way to make a decent salvager, works so well... I use a coercer for picking up loot and salvaging after lvl 3 missions 2 tractors, 6 salvagers 1 AB 3 expanded cargo thingies, 1 nano hull thingmajig best thing is you can tow wrecks behind you while your salvagers work and you are moving to tractor range of the next wreck
Jenna Sky	Posted - 2006.12.07 01:12:00 - [20] I use my Flycatcher. With my MWD, I can go 2600m/s.

no1knowsWho Diplomatic Disruption	Posted - 2006.12.07 01:22:00 - [21] i've been using cat way before revelations for mission looting. i would pack 6 x tractor beams and 3 cargo expanders. now, after revelations i switched to: 4 x Tractor Beam 4 x Salvager 3 cargo expanders :) ..................... under construction...
minmof	Posted - 2006.12.28 11:35:00 - [22] i've been using a cormorant for salvagin, it works great even with the little cap it has, at first with 1 cargo expander and AB it used to run out of cap but my current setup is 4 tractor beams and 4 salvagers, middle slots 3 cap rechargers and 1mm AB (brings my speed to 250) and 1 PDU at the bottom, it's a beast.
Leo Balthur Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2006.12.28 11:43:00 - [23] i use a dominix HI: 3x hvy nos, 2x salvage, 1x tractor beam MED: AB, 4x Cap Rech t2 LOW: LAR II, MAR II, EANM II, 3 t2 armour hardeners, DC II pwnz everything ;]
Harris	Posted - 2006.12.28 11:57:00 - [24] I am thinking of using destroyers but at the moment, I use an Exequror on my alt. 2 Tractor, 2 salvage units. Shield stuff and an mwd in the mids. Cargo expanders in the lows Can follow me around and tank the frigs cruisers that I leave alive when farming the spawns if I leave early to the next belt. Can fit 4 drones if the frig or cruiser in question is scrambling me or is too powerful for some reason.
Jezziika	Posted - 2006.12.28 12:40:00 - [25] My Alt's Science/Logistics Drake setup: Highs: 3 x Tractor beams 5 x Salvagers Swap out some of the above for shield transferers when needed. When I get probe launchers sorted then again chop and change as required. Mids: 3-4 an.alyszers/codebreakers as needed 1 AB/MWD as required 1 large cap battery or shield extender depending on need Lows: 2-3 Cargo expanders 1 CPR 1 DC if needed It's a bit of a slow poke, but to be honest, if you draw aggro and kill intelligently in missions the majority of the wrecks are well within tractor range or just a few seconds afterburning away. Shield extender & DC for those high respawn cosmos areas, to give a bit of a buffer if they arent locked down by whoever is tanking with you. Not run out of cap yet, but i dont run it all at the same time.
Buzzmong Gallente Raptus Regaliter Pride - Honor - Duty	Posted - 2006.12.28 12:54:00 - [26] Exequror, granted only 4 highs, but if your using it to loot as well, has a nice cargo hold with cruiser 5 and a couple of expanders, plus will easily take an mwd + basic shield tank (just incase a respawn catches you out). --------------------------------- Member of Raptus Regaliter
Smagd Encina Technologies Namtz'aar k'in	Posted - 2006.12.28 13:01:00 - [27] Originally by: Leo Balthur i use a dominix HI: 3x hvy nos, 2x salvage, 1x tractor beam MED: AB, 4x Cap Rech t2 LOW: LAR II, MAR II, EANM II, 3 t2 armour hardeners, DC II pwnz everything ;] I'm sort of surprised there's no scrambler in the meds. With a fitting like that, you could probably salvage live targets - well, clobbering them over the head till their wreck pops out. -- Thukkers do
Benco97 Gallente Multiverse Corporation	Posted - 2006.12.28 14:10:00 - [28] I use an exequror, loads of cargo bay space. I fit the highs with 4 salvagers, no real need for tractors, I don't mind waiting. "MY GOD KEEP THIS AWAY FROM BENCO97!!!!!" - Constantine Arcanum
Anna Grahm	Posted - 2006.12.28 14:12:00 - [29] My Cormorant works just fine. 4 tractor beams, 4 salvagers 1 afterburner, 3 cap recharge 1 cargo expander if my hold gets full i just dump a jet can and toe it with a tractor beam
Kagura Nikon Minmatar The Black Dawn Gang	Posted - 2006.12.28 14:13:00 - [30] Best salvager is maelsstrom .. 8 salvagers... uber shield tank all low pds (till you can keep tank forever) And you can get into any battefield.. salvage and ignore anything else. If brute force doesn't solve your problem.. then you are not using enough!!

Katabrok First Caldari Asguard Security Service Rule of Three	Posted - 2006.12.28 15:10:00 - [31] Im using a drake for the job. 4 Salvager, 2 tractor beams, 2 arbalest assault missiles. MWD, invul T2 * 2, cap recharger 2 and t2 large shield extender. 1 inertia stab and 4 (or 3??) cargo expanders. 5 small drones I salvage in 0.0, so i have to tank the rats while I salvage, so the natural resists of the drake help a lot. You may ask: Why not the ferox? Cause I had a drake at hand. I kill with the rokh, and then I come back with the drake. Katabrok, the space barbarian. I want the The Correct DreadÖ!!!!
Avaru Trask	Posted - 2006.12.28 17:45:00 - [32] Don't forget that using a Destroyer with 6 Salvager I's and 2 Tractor Beams, will allow enough grid for a 10mn Afterburner, giving you ~1500 ms speeds without the need for a Cap guzzling MWD. Also, go with a Cormorant, or at least a Thrasher... The extra mid slots are needed for Capacitor modules. The more mids you have working on your capacitor the longer you can salvage. All in all, I use a Thrasher for my set up, just wish that the loot tables were fixed so that you find at least one item each wreck, looting 30 some ships with nothing to show for it is real discouraging- and annoying as hell.
Aarin Wrath	Posted - 2006.12.28 18:18:00 - [33] I use a Catalyst (Gallente Destroyer) as a mission looter / salavager. High: 4 x Tractor 4 x Salvager Med: 1 x MWD (some loot is 40 km away which is a long wait with an AB) 1 x Named Cap charger Low: 3 x expanded cargo holds The good: roughly 650 m3 of space witch is enough for even angel extravaganza. efficient: can tractor in four, then loot and salvage can keep four wrecks in tow while moving for salvaging on the go The bad: cap problems galore, 4 x salvagers eat cap and the MWD -25% cap hurts this especially *you need high targeting skill to get the most out of this setup. (tractoring in 4 to your position all the while salvaging another four you just finished looting)
Kazock	Posted - 2007.02.01 13:41:00 - [34] however not with the patch cargo is not going to matter because the size of the salvage materials was from from 1.0 to 0.1. so now any ship can salvage for a longer period of time.
Max Flame Aur0ra	Posted - 2007.02.01 14:17:00 - [35] clearing level 4 wrecks.... after mission done... 4 tractors, 4 salavers cap recharger1-2 and a ab 3 locul hull expanders 3 salvage tackle rigs 50% access difficulty This is using a catalyst I like to kill people
Ratey	Posted - 2007.02.01 14:22:00 - [36] Sabre - 2xSalvager - 3x 200mm IIs - 2x rockets - Improved CloaK - MWD II - Medium Shield Ext II - Small Shield Ext II 2x Local Inertial stabs =(just over 4800ms)(i have a couple speed implants) Cargo - 3x small secure containters give you an extra 60m3 (460m3, no expanders) with remaining 100m3 cargo hold for salvaging and ammo. Very good for 0.2 ratting, and just cruising around salvaging wrecks in hostile space.
Jai Centarium Anqara Industries	Posted - 2007.02.01 15:35:00 - [37] I'd toss my hat into the "Catalyst" ring as well, with a 4/4 split, AB, and cap rechargers as needed. They key with "efficient" salvaging is being able to always have a "new" wreck coming into the Salvagers. I find 4/4 keeps me constantly dragging in new wrecks given my skills. And I current run a Cap Recharger and a Power Relay (IIRC), which keeps my cap decently full. If the cargo hold fills up, pop a jetcan and come pick it up later with an Industrial. I use the Indy to move the Catalyst and mission gear around, so it's just gathering dust. And I have to change my signature, too. :( My avatar is a disembodied head. Nifty. Darn it, they fixed it.
Elvarien Caldari Legion of Corpses	Posted - 2007.02.01 16:34:00 - [38] the I win in mission running and salvagin The dominix. Enter mission and unleash your drones .. while they play around and clean up the place you have all your high slots filled with tracts / salvagers and take care of the loot / wrecks Afterburner in mids and tank in low [it already has a decent cargo hold] you will be done with salvaging when your drones are done with the mission time effecient. >--- A properly flown and fitted manticore is like a flatulant Ninja.

Felix Kani	Posted - 2007.02.02 02:41:00 - [40] I loot and salvage after finishing missions. I was using a Catalyst but I was running out of cap and salvaging with less than three salvagers just takes too long for my liking. Now I use a Drake. 4 Tractors, 4 Salvagers, cap regens and an AB, plus expanders to activate as need be. Maybe uses 33% of my available cap and its fast enough for salvaging lvl 3 and 4 missions. Besides, I needed an excuse to buy a Drake.

Pralay Gallente	Posted - 2007.02.02 04:00:00 - [41] Gotta agree with the Dominix people here. I think it's one of drones hidden advantages that you can trade out guns for tractors and salvagers without much loss. Makes it better overall runner than Raven. I'm only doing lvl3s maybe 4's have so many wreks it is worth it but I can't imagine flying 1 or 2 jumps back to were some specialized salvage ship is then flying it to my mission(s), I tend to do 2-3 at atime, to salvage them. So much faster and funner to loot as you shoot. Pralay
ChaosDemon	Posted - 2007.02.02 21:58:00 - [42] I use the arbitrator to do lvl 1 missions just let the drones do the work and then salvage it with a Executioner i have: 1x Salvager 1x Hydropropelant afterburner 1x Small Capacitor Battery It works great since i'm still training for a tractor beam.
Tist	Posted - 2007.02.02 23:50:00 - [43] Looks Like I win the most expensive looter Prize! Thrasher High 4 Tractor 4 Salvagers Meds Gistii x Type AB (1MN) Cap recharger II Lows 2x Cargo extender II Rigs 2x Salvaging tackle 1x Cargo expander I also Use a large container in my hold to get the extra 120 m3 that it gives for a total of 890m2 of loot, and now that the salvage is tiny, I never run out of room or cap, can clear a 5 room L4 in about 20 mins. I suppose I've spent the better part of 200 mil on the destroyer tho...
nthexwn Amarr	Posted - 2007.02.03 03:34:00 - [44] Ship: Sigil Highs: 2x Salvager I Mediums: 1x 10MN Afterburner II 1x Sensor Booster II 1x Cap Recharger II Lows: 5x Local Hull Conversion Nanofiber Structure I Rigs: 3x Salvage Tackle I Summary: With decent skills this ship can go over 1Km/s, turn on a dime, hold around 3,000m^3, never run out of cap, and salvage about 3/4 of all cycles. The only downside is cost, but that's easily made back from the time saved after a dozen level 4 missions or so. Beat that!

Thaddeus Brutor Minmatar Republic Military School	Posted - 2007.02.03 06:49:00 - [46] I use a Coercer: HI: 4x Tractor, 4x Salvager MID: 1x T2 Afterburner LO: 4x Cap Power Relay Can run all 4 tractors & all 4 salvagers, with the AB. Meaning I'm always dragging 4 wrecks along, salvaging them, while flying within 20 km of the next wrecks. Very handy after finishing a mission like Blockade.
Kerfira	Posted - 2007.02.03 10:12:00 - [47] Cormorant: 3 Salvagers 5 Tractors MWD + CAP rechargers in mids Expanded Cargo 3 Salvage Tackle !!! The last part is the MOST important one. Before I fitted the tackle's, I had to have 5 salvagers to keep up with 3 tractor beams hauling in wrecks. Now I have almost the double amount of tractors, use (way) less cap, and move between wreck groups extremely fast. In short, my salvaging speed has about doubled because of the tackle's, so fit 'em. Even though they cost a bit, you can build them yourself, and earn the money back fast by salvaging much faster.... General advice: Stop whining!
Jonak Gallente	Posted - 2007.05.01 15:43:00 - [48] I use a Catalyst for salvaging after missions too. I just started and I have: 4 x Tractor Beam 4 x Salvager I Cold-Gas I Arcjet Thrusters Cap Recharger II 3 x Beta Mod Hull Overdrive Injector I I have no problems with it so far while salvaging level 3 missions.
Spy4Hire	Posted - 2007.05.01 18:36:00 - [49] Best fitting for your favorite salvage dessy: Highs: 4x tractor, 4x salvager Mids: AB & whatever Lows: Cap Power Relays, nanos/inertial stabs. Rigs: 3x salvage tackle I Tractor 3 wrecks & 1 jetcan for those annoying bits of scrapmetal. 3x salvagers usu/ work in a single cycle with 3x rigs fitted (50%+ salvage chance). If you can fit 2x salvage tackle II you'll have a vastly improved salvage chance.
Kulmid The Rat Pack Molotov Coalition	Posted - 2007.05.01 18:46:00 - [50] Forum Necro is bad mmmk ~~~~~~~~~~~ Success is the time between when you do something, and when you tell a woman what you did. "What is this RL? There is only AFK."

Gnord	Posted - 2007.05.01 18:57:00 - [51] I like the myrmidon 3 tractors 3 salvagers 100mn ab low slots are all nanofibers some cap recharge, tech 2 medium drones, medium repair drones, and tech 2 light drones. You can repair the combat ship, assist the combat ship, and salvage at the same time. Slap on a salvage rig, and you're done.
Kartissa Elentari	Posted - 2007.05.03 01:45:00 - [52] My salvage ship is a Probe. Good cargo capacity and velocity. 2 x Salvager 1 x 1MN Afterburner 1 x Small Capacitor Battery 1 x Salvage Tackle rig 2 x Light Drones (just in case) With a Salvage skill of 3, I'm salvaging almost as fast as I can loot. I do my looting after destroying everything in a mission, mind, although if there are a lot of wrecks, I sometimes loot the cargo with my combat ship, so I don't have to make multiple trips. Even without the rig, I was salvaging pretty fast. (And if you're curious, the cap battery is more for warping long distances than powering the Salvagers.)
Jonak Gallente	Posted - 2007.08.21 19:31:00 - [53] Was using a Catalyst. Now using a Brutix for both mission salvaging and ratting. Missions: Hi: 4 x Tractor, 3 x Salvager Mid: T2 AB, Sensor Booster, Large Capacitor, T2 Cap Recharger Low: 5 x Expanded Cargohold II Ratting: Hi: 2 x T2 Ion Blaster, 2 x Tractor, 2 x Salvager Mid: T2 AB, X5 Webber, Large Capacitor, T2 Cap Recharger Low: T1 Med Repper, 4 x Expanded Cargohold II Drones: 5 x T1 Hammerheads Rigs: 3 x Salvage Tackle I It's tougher than the Catalyst. Carries more drones and doesn't have to depend on support from corpmates.
Chelone	Posted - 2007.08.22 00:35:00 - [54] Originally by: Tribunal Seriously though, a typhoon has been working great. I can move ~1200 m/s, have ~1400m3 cargo, and can turn on a dime. That must be one very LARGE dime. I currently use Inquisitor to salvage: 4xSalvager I 1xCold-Gas Arcjet AB 2xNanofiber, 1xCap Relay 701 m/s, 315 m3, nice turning. It's a great light salvager, and what I do is place one in my agent system as well as all of the surrounding systems. Cheap and quick, lets me salvage in-system without going back to complete the mission. However, 315 m3 isn't really enough for L3 or L4 missions. So I've been looking at these possible setups: "Salvage Stabber" 2xTractor, 4xSalvager I (or 1 and 5?) 10MN MWD I, 2xLarge Cap Battery II 3xExpanded Cargohold II Would give 860.32 m3, 1863 m/s MWD speed (257 m/s base speed). Should be able to run MWD nearly continuously. Stabber also has better overall inertia than a destroyer, but you only get 6 highslots. From my research, the ideal salvage ship would seem to be: Eris 2xTractor, 6xSalvager 1xAB II, 1xSmall Cap Battery II 3xExpanded Cargo II, 1xNano II 819.35 cargo, 906.06 AB speed (396.4 base speed). Plenty fast without MWD, can salvage without mission completion. Eris sells for under 10M also, so I SUPPOSE you could place 5 or 6 in multiple systems. The only issue is the skills needed. I plan to fly Gallente inties anyway, and I have high perc/will so I might just go for it. Running the numbers, I don't see how anyone runs MWD on any salvage ship smaller than a cruiser. The energy hit and overall drain are enormous, you could only use the MWD in bursts really. People claim to do it, though, but I think they must be dealing with serious cap issues...
Manny Tanato Kool Kidz Black Sheep Alliance	Posted - 2007.08.22 05:06:00 - [55] I use a Cormorant with 3 salvagers and 5 tractors. I got my salvaging skill up to lvl 5 and I filled the rig slots with that thingy that'll help salvaging. I advocate pumping the salvaging skill up to lvl 5, because if you look at the time you spend in missions, about half the time is spent killing and the other half is spent puttering around salvaging and looting. You can cut down the salvaging part of the time by training just one skill up to the max, compared to the myriad skills you gotta pump up to be good on the combat side of things. My 3 salvagers will process the wrecks faster than my 5 tractors can bring them in. Salvaging skill to lvl 5 is a must for serious mission runners. -=[ I huff and I puff and nothing falls... ]=-

I run the MWD on my Thrasher in bursts. Normally there are clusters of wrecks within 20km of each other - warp towards them, do a bit of tractor beam wizardry whilst maneuving to bring them closer together and then stop. Salvage and loot ... move on to the next cluster. I'm not sure on my setup but IIRC I have 4 tractors, 4 salvagers, a 1MN WMD, 2x Cap battery or recharger ( can't remember which ), 1 Cargo expander and a Capacitor Power relay.
Riho Magnificent Beavers Exquisite Malevolence	Posted - 2007.08.22 09:32:00 - [58] best salvager ingame is a hurricane whit 4 salvagers and 4 tractor beams. in med you put mwd and cap rechargers and sensorbooster. low: all expanders and to those monkeys who will say " duh.. you can use mwd in deadspace" have you heard of bookmarking the place... completing the mission and going back ? (i just say this cause evertime i get asked what i salvage whit and they see i use MWD, they usually say something like that :P) this is for mission salvage (and yes i do loot everything so i can get free minerals or good named stuff to sell :P) --------------------------------------- Sig killed by MODs.... reworking it Great being Gallente... aint it ? ----------------- YARRRR, sig hijack! -HornFrog -----------------
Leandro Salazar The Blackguard Wolves Knights Of the Southerncross	Posted - 2007.08.22 09:48:00 - [59] Edited by: Leandro Salazar on 22/08/2007 09:50:08 Originally by: Pralay Gotta agree with the Dominix people here. I think it's one of drones hidden advantages that you can trade out guns for tractors and salvagers without much loss. Makes it better overall runner than Raven. I'm only doing lvl3s maybe 4's have so many wreks it is worth it but I can't imagine flying 1 or 2 jumps back to were some specialized salvage ship is then flying it to my mission(s), I tend to do 2-3 at atime, to salvage them. So much faster and funner to loot as you shoot. A Dominix with only drones for DPS will take a lot longer than a properly flown other ship to finish any level 4 mission and loot/salvage the BS wrecks (which are really the only ones worth salvaging if you are after isk/time). I guess if you salvage EVERYTHING this approach might work, but doing that is wasteful in the first place. And the best salvager is indeed the Hurricane. Can fit both MWD and AB at one time for salvaging finished and nonfinished missions. Can run the MWD indefinitely, has fairly good agility AND fairly good cargo capacity. Only downside is it being more expensive. But what is 30 mil to a good mission runner... CCP kills Sell Orders forum! SAY NO!

It can also shield tank where tanking is needed (leaving lows for carge expanders) and looks much more like a rustbucket salvaging ship The Hurricane is too pretty for that purpose.

Erim Solfara Amarr House of Solfara	Posted - 2007.08.22 11:43:00 - [61] Stabber! 6 Salvagers, AB, nanos/expanders depending on the size of the mission. Would fit tractors but I haven't trained for them yet. A new tool in the fight for balance?
Letrange Minmatar Chaosstorm Corporation Apoapsis Multiversal Consortium	Posted - 2007.08.22 13:56:00 - [62] My current setup: Thrasher Hi - 4 x Small Tractor Beam I Hi - 4 x Salvager I Mid - 1 x 1mn Afterburner I Mid - 2 x Cap Recharger I Low - 2 x Extended Cargohold I Reasoning: 1) I've got salvage 3 so I don't need as many salvagers to get the salvage rates you want a high number of salvagers for. 2) If I'm cleaning up after a level 4, I want the extra cargo space.... badly. 3) Cap rechargers allow me to run everything non-stop (including AB) 4) AB over MWD because sometimes you want to mine the mission roids after a mission but if you turn it in the roids disapear and MWD don't work in a lot of mission areas. 5) The extended slow the ship down enough that I can tractor things while the AB is running (slowly but the do creep closer). 6) I tend to run arty shield tankers for my mission ships, this means when I'm not cleaning up after someone else, the ships are spread over Hel's half acre. So tractoring stuff while moving the the next wreck mandates more tractors. if I hit 4 or 5 salvaging I'll see about maybe switching to 5 tractors 3 salvagers. Maybe put a salvaging rig in.
Ewiss	Posted - 2007.08.22 14:12:00 - [63] Coercer: 4 x Tractors 4 x Salvagers Cap rechargers in all the other slots. Not enough CPU for an AB in med, but the close spread of kills usually means theres not too much flying about anyway. Plan to make myself 3 Salvaging Rigs over time to put in it, easier than taking Salvaging up beyond L3. Ellisd
Mul K'tah	Posted - 2007.08.22 14:48:00 - [64] Edited by: Mul K''tah on 22/08/2007 14:50:19 Personally, I prefer the Omen since it has 5 highslots, very decent cargo capacity and is one of the faster cruisers. I prefer cruisers over destroyers since those level4 missions can generate a lot of loot. I don't have enough skills (or cash for rigs) to comfortably run my abaddon on lvl4 missions without cap booster and a cargo hold full of 800s. With my omen its great; I go in kill everything from 60km, warp out, hop in my omen and go loot/salvage everything. Its way quicker this way since I can max out my dps on my abaddon and my omen can travel to the loot way faster than my stupidly slow battleship! Plus with 3 cargo expanders it has over 900 cargo capacity! Omen - "El Salvagor" Highs: 2x tractor 3x salvager Meds: 1x ab (for complexes) 1x mwd 1x Large Shield extender (buys time while warping if ganked) Lows: 1x inertial stabilizer 1x nanofiber 3x cargo hold expanders II With my skills: 1,171 m/s (mwd) - 404 m/s (ab) 933m3 8,811 effective hp 8.3 secs to align
