Since time is isk afaik most mission runners use a different ships to pick up loot & salvage after the mission is solved. So what ships do you guys use for that?
I personally use a harbinger with ...
Highs: 4x tractor 4x salvager Med: Afterburner Low: 8x Expanded Cargo II
Are there better (amarr) ships for this task?

I use a Caldari Destroyer - the destroyers from any race do the job remarkably effeciently. If you have lots of cash to spare rigging your destroyer for even MORE cargo space works pretty well, though I'd just opt for a BC at that point (where you can fit even more cargo expanders).
Really if you have 8 high slots you have a good basis for a salvage ship. Cargo bay size is the next consideration followed by AB speed (unless you wait until after your turn in the mission to salvage to get rid of the deadspace pocket)

dessies suck for lvl 4, just too small imo. around 900-1000 m3 is not enough for half of missions (if u loot of course). My favorite is hurricane, but i do use catalyst for small scale salvaging.

Get just under 2000m3 cargo which covers all the L4's including the large ones like AE, WC, Blockade et.c in one go. -------------------------------------------------- "Every complex problem has a solution which is easy, neat and wrong!" |

^^ This is an excellent setup for a harb salvager. Hurricane is a little better because of the bigger cargo hold which allows you to use more salvage tackle rigs, but if you've trained Amarr and not Minmatar, it's not worth training just for that.
The key is the MWD & AB. You use the MWD to cross distances between groups and the AB to motor around short distances w/i the group. Critical to fast looting/salvaging.

Destroyers work on level IIIs and below. They will work for smaller level IVs or on Level IVs where you do some looting/salvaging on the way (i.e. normal Raven with tractor/salvager equipped, Marauder, etc.). If you're doing level IVs without any kind of looting/salvaging while the killing is going on, you'll want a battlecruiser. Some nice fits have been given above so I won't go into specific fits, but you want to balance mobility, cargo capacity, and speed of salvaging. Some people will use battleships (Typhoon would be my first pick if I went that route), but it seems like they're paying a lot for a little more cargo and lower speeds. -------------------- "I am hard pressed on my right; my centre is giving way; situation excellent; I am attacking." - Ferdinand Foch at the Battle of the Marne |

Personnaly, I use an Exequror to loot/salvage my lvl 4 missions, fitted thusly :
Highs : 2 Salvagers + 2 Tractor Beams
Meds : 10MN AB T2, Large Cap Battery T2, Omnidirectional Tracking Link, Drone Navigation Computer (I sometimes need my drones ...)
Lows : 3 Expanded Cargohold T2
Rigs : 3 Salvage Tackle
With my skills (see sig), I get a cargohold of 1741m¦, just enough to put a Huge Secure Container in it to gain 450m¦ (total hold = 2191m¦), 349 m/s with the AB, and a huge capacitor that won't ever run dry with everything running nor run dry in the middle of a huge system.
I could probably go faster by using a 8 high slot ship, but I already have trouble keeping with the speed of my Salvagers, so it's more than enough for me. <~ sig starts here

Using an Exequror here as well, cause of the cargohold bonus, but the low number of highslots is a bit annoying. ______________________

I find a Condor with three salvagers and an AB to be the perfect implement for restoring neatness and tranquility to the depths of deadspace.

GOLEM
The Golem is an excellent salvager...
4 x Tractors, 3 x Salvagers, 2 x Salvage Tackles
MWD, Sensor Booster w/resolution script
Cargo Expanders, Inertial Stabs
The 100% Tractor Range and Speed is an awesome boost to salvaging speed.
I decided the Rokh was a better LVL4 Missioning ship than the Golem... Already had the Golem, so put it to use.

Sacrilege, huge cargobay for being a missile ship + 5 lows for cargo expanders gives over 2000 m3 and it remains quite fast. 6 highs and 7 targets, works like a charm.

Lol. I already had a Nighthawk. I never intedended to use my Golem for anything but salvaging. I'm about to get my Alt into a Vargur though so I might actually give that a test in a mission first. -- (Sarcastic mission running veteran, 4+ years)

If "farming" a mission such as AE4, will change out MWD for AB II. The 2 shield extenders are enough to tank the boss in the last room while salvaging the rest

Coercer
2 guns (you never know if you need some protection) 3 salvagers 3 tractorbeams
1 Carbonthing AB
4 Expanded Cargoholds II
that cleans up my missions most of the time.. any lvl 4 that i don't clean up fully is either a *peep*load of scrap metal or i didn't loot enough of the majorly big guns with my mission ship, but that does't happen too often. ------- Always a deeply religious people, religion remains of great importance to every Amarrian, a fervour which at various times has been responsible both for great good and great evil. |

Edited by: Quincunx on 14/08/2008 16:26:50 I use either:
Hurricane when the area is relatively safe
Highs: - 3 Tractor beams - 3 Salvagers
Mids: - T2 AB / MWD - 3x Cap Recharger II
Lows: - 6x Cargo Expander II (giving approx. 2000m3 cargo space)
A Nighthawk when there is a high chance of getting aggro from rats:
Highs: - 3 Tractor beams - 3 Salvagers - Drone link augmentor
Mids: - <damage specific> resistance amp II - <damage specific> resistance amp II - 2x Large shield extender II
Lows: - 3x SPR II - 2x PDU II
Rigs: - 3x Field Purger
Drones: - 5x Hobgoblin II

I have several bases of operations... at most of them I have a Coercer destroyer set up as such:
4x Tractor 4x Salvager 1x AB II 4x Expanded Cargo II
then I have a Hurricane at my main base set up pretty much exactly the same, only with more Cargo expanders. (no point in putting anything in the mids, really...)

Edited by: Gabriel Virtus on 15/08/2008 04:04:44 Just use a battlecruiser with lots of turrets, they allow for a much larger cargo hold. Destroyers on lvl 4 missions just simply cannot hold the salvage and the loot.
I use a Brutix.
[Salvagix]
LOWS: Expanded Cargohold II Expanded Cargohold II Expanded Cargohold II Expanded Cargohold II Expanded Cargohold II
MID: 10MN MicroWarpdrive I Cap Recharger II Cap Recharger II Cap Recharger II
HIGH: Salvager I Salvager I Salvager I Small Tractor Beam I Small Tractor Beam I Small Tractor Beam I Small Tractor Beam I
RIGS: Salvage Tackle I Cargohold Optimization I Cargohold Optimization I
Speed: 782 ms Cargo: 1782 m^3
Flame on -Gabriel
Edit: I wanted to add that if you make a bookmark and turn in the mission, you will be able to use MWD as the deadspace goes away and you can salvage the wrecks. Don't ever use an afterburner.
