Okay, of all the sub-bs ships, what is the best for salvaging and looting mission wrecks.
Right now I'm using a thrasher.
This is my current setup.
High:
4x Salvagers
4x Tractor Beams
Medium
1x AB
2x Cap Rechargers
Low
2x Expanded Cargoholds.
This works fine except that it only has about 500m3 capacity.
So I'm wondering what would be better.
I naturally think of the hurricane.
The setup would be like this:
High
4x Salvagers
4x Tractor Beams
Medium
1x AB/MWD
3x cap rechargers
Low
6x expanded cargoholds
rig
3x Salvage Tackle
It has 4x the capacity of my thrasher, but I kinda worried about the hurrican's agility, I've never flown one. I would like some input. Are there any better sub-bs ships?

Cane is probably the best sub-BS. Although the Apoc is supposed to be darn nice as well.
Not sure how the Apoc would be good at salvaging. It would have horrendous agility.

I once tried a hurricane, but didn't like it and went back to a catalyst. However, it's not a bad ship if you add some nanos and inertia stabilizers. 2-3 expanded cargoholds should do the job, so fill the rest up with agility modules. Make sure you don't go faster than 500m/s, as that's faster than your tractor beams can go.
Agility modules would kinda defeat the purpose of switching since it would require less cargo capacity. Hmmmm....

Not really, i find myself warping out 2-4 times per mission in my current setup. I guess I could be a little more picky. Like not picking up cap boosters but I don't like leaving anything behind.

Hmmm....
Unfortunately my first account is a couple hundred million isk from getting a Paladin.
Along with 28 days of training. Of course after I get AWU lvl 5 for siege mode(last skill i need for a fully functioning dread), I'll only 11 days from maurader.
The problem is that the paladin doesn't have many slots after putting guns on it. 3 slots can't do to much. Especially without salvage rigs. I could fit all tractors and tractor anything within 40km of the paladin and then let this account salvage it. By that time I'll have most of it salvage. Possibly bookmark the rest of the wrecks and use a destroyer on this account after I turn in the mission.
But right now, I fly an gank fit abaddon. So an alt that can tank the room would be great. Plus it takes way to long to kill small ships in some of the missions and battleships that stay past 75km. Their resists are probably high against em/thermal. Having a ship like a domi with 1 large gun (for getting agro), 2 drone augments and a tank would help incredible but then it only leaves 3 highslots for salvaging. (14 days away from domi)
