Why is the Noctis so FAT?

I mean, when you zoom in too look at the salvagers on it, they're the size of pinheads. The cargo hold is miniscule as well. What the heck takes up all that space in the Noctis?

All its awesomeness takes up a lot of space.

Its so increadably good at what it does they decided to atleast make it slow and we associate slow with big ships so therefore its big.

They used the awesome Primae model for it, that's all there is to it.

That said, Belthazor, your Noctis may be slow, but on my alt, it's nano fitted, with microwarpdrive. That thing can outrun your average cruiser :D

even tho its just a salvage ship, i look at like an advanced salvage ship packed with all that tech to make your salvagers and tractors work better.

I agree, its tough work getting that tractor beam out to 70 km. I imagine all that breaking of the laws of physics would require a lot of hardware.

Also gets 20k EHP with bulkheads + DCU, though you get an align time of 15 seconds.

the noctis comes equipped with its own salvage line of underage Minmatar slaves. every time you cycle your salvagers, who do you think sorts though all the rubble and picks up the good stuff? science? don't be naif, its the sweat and suffering of hundreds of children working day and night, as fast as they can, packed in the cargo hold of a noctis.

and when your salvagers bug out and do an additional empty cycle? yeah, let me tell you what that is. it's one of the children that collapsed out of exhaustion and they need to remove their young defenseless body off the processing line and trow it it into space.
