Xanos Blackpaw Amarr The Firestorm Cartel	Posted - 2008.10.24 10:10:00 - [1] orca...the best mission salvager ever. i'm getting one mainly for corp mining ops but when not in use for that i will use her for a mission salvager! highs 2 salvagers 1 tractor med 3 cap rechargers low 2 cargo expanders ...i havent even tried the ship yet and i'm already in love!
MenanceWhite Amarr Ministry of War	Posted - 2008.10.24 10:26:00 - [2] Why? It's supposed to be between a hauler and a freighter, which means that it won't exactly be fast. And salvage does'nt take much space either, it's the normal loot that does. --- Originally by: Torfi There's alot. That can be done. With.. corpses Originally by: Oveur

And salvage does'nt take much space either, it's the normal loot that does. with that much tractor range it dont need to be fast^^ and this mean that i will aculy bother to loot/salvage the dron missions and such. it also mean that you can bother picking up T1 un named loot and just not best named
MenanceWhite Amarr Ministry of War	Posted - 2008.10.24 10:57:00 - [4] That's true but would'nt it still be faster with your BC/destroyer considering the fact that your setup only has a single tractor beam? T1 unnamed loot is usually worth squat anyways. --- Originally by: Torfi There's alot. That can be done. With.. corpses Originally by: Oveur
Pteranodon	Posted - 2008.10.24 13:07:00 - [5] Kronos fully fitted as a salvager takes some beating. I know your going moan at me for using one but I like my salvaging Kronos as it does salvaging a lot better than anything else I know.
Dracthera	Posted - 2008.10.24 13:33:00 - [6] Originally by: MenanceWhite That's true but would'nt it still be faster with your BC/destroyer considering the fact that your setup only has a single tractor beam? Not in missions where the rat BS wrecks are strewn about in a 30-50 km radius about the spawn point. The Orca tractors reach out to 50km, and bring in stuff twice as fast as normal tractors, so that would actually work. In my Salvagecane it takes me a while to run around after all these wrecks even with a BS AB, so that takes considerable time. The Orca may do that better without moving, but it remains to be seen. Still, it's a novel concept, and I've considered it as well. I don't think it'll be worth experimenting with it until prices on the Orca come down from the initial release mark-up. Originally by: MenanceWhite T1 unnamed loot is usually worth squat anyways. Not exactly. I net on average 6,000 ISK/m3 from T1 unnamed loot. It adds up.

Neothas	Posted - 2008.10.24 14:02:00 - [8] Originally by: Pteranodon Kronos fully fitted as a salvager takes some beating. I know your going moan at me for using one but I like my salvaging Kronos as it does salvaging a lot better than anything else I know. I agree 100%. I can tank 100% aggro, do almost 400 m/s, and run 4 tractors / 3 salvagers. It's hard to beat as a looting ship.

I know your going moan at me for using one but I like my salvaging Kronos as it does salvaging a lot better than anything else I know. I use a second Golem but its all the same, I really don't see the Orca being used as a salvage ship. Originally by: Shadarle I notice a lot of people who are very bad at playing the market tend to want CCP to step in and remove the competition from the market so they don't continue coming in last place.[/qu

Not enough highs. Need a dessie alt or something for maximum efficiency. Just fit a full rack of tractor beams on the Orca. Good for level 5's.
King Rothgar	Posted - 2008.10.24 14:48:00 - [11] It's a thought but only 2 salvagers on the thing will make salvaging take ages. In my salvage dessie (with mwd) the limiting factor on salvage speed is not the speed of the ship or tractors, it's the fact that it only has 4 salvagers on it. To be fair, it has no salvage rigs, suppose I should change that, would make it go faster. I do see the orca being useful for drone missions where it's the loot that's valuable, not the salvage. In which case I'd slap 3 tractors on it and forgo actually salvaging.

It's hard to beat as a looting ship. 7 tractors, drag everything in a 40 km range to the same spot loot them and come back in a dessy or dictor fitted for salvaging. Best investment I have made equipment-wise. ----------------------------------------------- Originally by: Paper Rock's fine, nerf Scissors
Shereza	Posted - 2008.10.24 17:39:00 - [14] Depending on what the limits are for what can go in the ship bay you could always put in a salvage destroyer in there, use the orca to collect all the wrecks and loot them, then switch to the destroyer to salvage them. Of course that'd really work well if you had an alt to fly one, but then in that case why bother using the ship bay at all? Any rate, if I were to use it like that, which I likely wouldn't, I'd just slap on 3 tractor beams and use an alt in a destroyer or something to salvage stuff. Of course since right now I tag-team missions with whatever my main flies plus an alt in a salvage typhoon I really don't need an orca.
Andrue Amarr	Posted - 2008.10.24 19:20:00 - [15] Edited by: Andrue on 24/10/2008 19:22:45 Edited by: Andrue on 24/10/2008 19:22:33 There's no point in the greater tractor range. Most wrecks end up within 40km of my loot ship anyway. I run missions in a Nighthawk then come back with my Golem to loot. 4 tractors, 3 salvagers. 3,500m3 cargo. I typically loot the Extravaganzas in less than twenty minutes.
