Hey
I have been reading this topic and it really intrigued me. I fly in Minmatar space and have a destroyer for salvaging my own mission wrecks, which because of tractor beams is good for salvaging my own wrecks.. Anyways, fitted out a probe last night and finally leanred how to use the san probe launcher and the scan probe. The first time I used it correctly I scanned down a lvl 4 mission and warped to it. The guy was in the Minmatar BS (can't remember the name of it now) anyways, he was still running the mission. I warped back to home base (same system) and got my destroyer salvager and went out and started salvaging. Now, as I only am able to run lvl 2 missions right now, level 4 salvage is a GREAT money-maker for me. Well not only did I make great money, but I got some awesome tears as well. I wish I had saved the conversation. He private messaged me, asked me if I was lost, asked me what I was doing here, asked me to leave to which I agreed AFTER I was done salvaging. Well he flipped out called me names and totally freaked. I went about salvaging and he leaves... Well I am thinking he is going to get a cheap arse ship and pop me and I was a little worried as I do not have the standings for a JC yet, but I kept my eyes open and he never came back! In fact, I went back 50 minutes later after the salvaging was done and all the loot was there so I went back with probe ship and even got to loot the whole mission and for me, a 2 month old character I was rewarded handsomely! I now have all +3 implants finally and tonight I am going to salvage for the last time in my destroyer to same money for a nice Minmater frigate to salvage with..
Any suggestions on a Minmatar T1 Frigate to use for Ninja Salvaging? Anyways, thanks for the tips and the tears. love it! |

Originally by: Gavin DeVries Vigil. Definitely the Vigil. Not only does it have a fast base speed, it gets a 5% speed bonus per level of Minmatar Frigate skill. Adjust your fitting as necessary for capacitor needs. I'm not sure about the total energy storage on it.
I wil be doing this tonight. Thank you |

Personally, I like the Minmitar Probe frigate. The bonuses that come with the ship are awesome and well suited for the job at hand.
Sure it can only fit one salvager and one recon probe launcher, but with a few tackles, an AB, a nano, and a cap battery it really is a fast salvaging machine. Plus when the mission runner leaves for good, you've still got a lot of cargo space to loot the wrecks.
And for those wondering, I make about 15 to 30 million isk on an average day. Often more at peak times.
Oh, so that is your scanning ship AND salvage ship? How do you fit it out? you use rigs?

Originally by: Faegun I need some help with the probing part.
I've tried and tried and had abit of luck here and there. I've read a few different guides, watched a few video guides. I think I am almost there but I keep having the same problem. When I hit Analyze after slowly bringing down the scan size of my probes to 4 AU this time the red dot totally dissapears. So I think the ship might have cleared off. So I launch another probe with a larger scan size to cover the area and I get a red sphere telling me he is still in there... I increase the other probes back to 8 AU and the ship reappears. Back to 4 AU and its gome.
This has happened several different times and I dont know what to do. Is it because my singal strengh is too low when I try to scan at 4 AU? I seem to do everything right from 64 AU down to 4 AU.
Any help?
It happens alot. It is because you have a filter set on your results. The filter only applies when you are able to tell what the ship is. If the ship is not on your filtered list, it will no longer appear on your results page as your filter says that you are not interested in it.

I don't get the point of Astro IV. 7 probes might be useful for some very specialized initial probe formations...but I never use more than five (and that's just for the initial scan)
The only point to Astro IV is because it unlocks Astrometric pinpointing - which is a good one to have.

Quote: A, then it is pinpointing that I was referencing. Maybe not the most necessary skill, but a nice support skill to have just the same, (whatever deviation is).
A, another 10 days and I can have Pinpointing 5 along with the other 3 skills at 5, will it be worth while to train it?
P.S. U sound like a fellow Canuck, lol.
You definitely do not need astronomics at 5. Really don't even need it to 4 except for the pinpointing skill being unlocked.
I am a Canuck. ;0

Quote: dont get salvagers in my missions anymore but i miss them. They are not all brain dead though, some are just trying to provoke you so that there corp mates can kill you so dont attack them directly, just use the NPC's to kill them.
FAIL.
Corp mates don't get aggro rights when shooting a looter in your mission.
Who's dim now?
