Great news that there soon be a salvager drone but is it likely to be available to put in a Noctis?
i know the Noctis has zero drone capacity but it would be a nice touch to have a couple of salvage drones in there. perhaps make it a feature with Ore Industrial skill lvl 4 or 5 allowing and extra tractor to pull the goodies. |

The noctis is the salvage mule. Simplistic, vacuum up the room, move on. Any bandwidth on it whatsoever and it actually has means to defend itself somewhat, or drone mine, ick, that just wont do. |

Not like anyone is going to use them on any other ship anyway. Love my Gallente Federation Navy ships! |

Its the best reason to get rid of the lame duck salvage perks to marauders. If they want to solo salvage, they can fit a few drones and give it more aggressive pvp oriented utility slots. |

I don't suggest being able to use any other drone on it, it is a salvage boat and should be the ultimate ship for the job. |

Yeah because I definitely need those spare 5 flights of medium drones on my Dominix.

Yet it already is the ultimate ship for the job... It cant really get more ultimate. Tractors pull objects immediately to ship Salvage drones are likely sub microwarp like miners. travel time to, and back. T2 noctis salvagers cycle like crazy and easily crack any wrecks before tractors give them more food. in a 3salvage/5tractor setup Salvage drone are likely less efficient than t1 salvage turrets. and if there are t2 salvage drones, still not comparable to t2 salvage bonused turrets. Are you are hoping to make it even faster? A full rack of tractors and 5 drones working the field at your ship. It will more than likely be slower. Specially micromanaging through the current drone window.

Not really thought through the way the drones would work, that is a CCP job :)
Yes is the ultimate ship for the job but issuing a salvage drone and not allowing it to be used on the Noctis is like not allowing a mining drone on a Hulk. |

I Run a rattlesnake and only have room for 1 extra hammerhead. Domi has even less space than that. |

no need to have on noctis UNLESS they salvage things by themselves, if its like mining where you have to target a roid and tell them to mine it won't do. i mean in a noctis, it would be lock target, tell salvage, wait a while, salvage other target...
if they just try to salvage any wreck out there it will be good |

I am already limited by the maximum 12 targeting slots when flying a Noctis to salvage fields. I don't need to waste slots on salvaging drones.
These will be useful for folks who have space for 5 spare drones and aren't particularly serious about salvaging. I imagine roaming fleets might have some use since 5 non-combat drones in the drone bay aren't sacrificing as much of a ship's capability as a non-combat high slot. |

yea there's a few ships with large drone bays that I'll probably keep a few in, just in case of those lovely t2 wrecks... Save the Miners! |
