Well... I'm a salvaging kind of man... and I can't help but notice a disturbing gap between the two kinds of tractor beams. One is a capital tractor and the other is a small tractor with very limited range. Also I feel the need to point out, there are no T2 or named variants of either (though with capital mods there aren't many t2 mods if at all...). So I would propose adding named and T2 variants of tractors and throwing in a Medium tractor beam.
Now I can understand where people would say why bother, or it will make salvaging too easy. But if done right it will fit in perfectly.
I say make it at smallest a cruiser class module, so that people would have to get a bigger salvaging ship than a Catalyst (Before you say not everyone can afford a salvage BC, I'm in the same boat I salvage with a destroyer). And make it use more cap, basically make it twice as effective as the normal small tractor, ie double range, speed and more than double cap usage.
I'd rather there be salvaging specific ships but that's another issue....
And since I'm out here ranting, why not get some T2 and named salvager variants and perhaps larger/different salvager types etc. All of these things if implemented properly will improve game play for everyone and not be unbalanced. Even if just T2 variants to existing mods are implemented it would be enough for me...
Sig? What sig? |

plz look into marauder, t2 BS with bonus to tractor beams. Those are your salvage ships.

Christ. Isn't there any other ships that have any bonus? I'm currently using destroyers (which work nicely), but that range... I'd love to aim for a ship that i could use salvage rigs on, and pretty much use it to salvage ANYTHING (dessies have too small cargos even with expanders), but Battleships V + Marauders I....c'mon! I'll be training those skill for ages! (I'm a frig pilot).

I usually find a triple cargo-expanded Catalyst to be (nearly) sufficient on l4's, but that might just be me  .
Another option would be to use a BC. Enough highs for a mix of tractors and salvagers, enough lows for expanders. And you can throw in an (oversized) AB or MWD for zipping about.

Indeed, nearly :)
I also have a bad habit of looting/salvaging EVERyTHING (just so i can reprocess it all). Also tad annoying to loot 0.0 rats with huge amounts of cap charges (yes i know, you can leave them...but but...)
But if the effective choice is Dessie or a marauder...ouchie.
