The C - Op's T2 Noctis would be the second generation of Salvagers for the Noctis Class. Why a Covert Op's Hull? Because some pilots like to go into Low and Null and raid wrecks and should have a ship that is very stealthy to aid in their accomplishment of this goal.

After all there are; Industrials, Frigates and Cruisers that can warp while cloaked so why shouldn't the Salvage Pilot have the same ability of these three ship classes?

Not only would the NT2 (Noctis T2) have the ability to warp while cloaked it would also have the ability to fit a Salvage Bastion Module in three types with each module having the ability to automatically tractor any blue or white wreck within a certain range once the ship lands and resides at zero velocity as well as de-cloaking. Basically the automatic tractoring ability of the MTU.
The Bastion Salvaging Module could only be fit on the NT2.

Bastion Salvage Module types:

Type 1 - Three auto tractor beams / Max. tractor range 75km - Drawback -20% reduced shield recharge time.
Type 2 - Four auto tractor beams / Max. tractor range 50km - Drawback - 15% reduced shield recharge time + 10% reduced capacitor recharge time.
Type 3 - Five auto tractor beams / Max. tractor range 25km - Drawback - 15% reduced shield recharge time + 15% reduced capacitor recharge time.

Ship Bonus - 99.9 % reduced fitting cost for Covert-Ops Cloak
10% reduced use of capacitor for fitted salvagers and tractor beams per level of NT2 trained



Slot layout

High Slots - 6x (4 actual slots after Covert Ops Cloak and Bastion Salvage Module have been fit)
Medium Slots - 6x
Low Slots - 4x

The NT2 would support the Prospector with combat drone support due its large drone bay 100 m/3 and its high bandwidth of 75 mb/sec

Counter proposal:

Slots: 7/3/2

Ore Industrial skill:
60% tractor beam range per level
80% Tractor beam velocity per level

Sneaky, cloaky indy thing skill:
5% reduction in salvager and tractor beam duration per level
5% agility per level

+2 warp core str.
Can fit covert ops cloaks.
90% reduction in jump fatigue

Daichi dear,
you forgot the industrial recon ship bonus:

- immune to all form of electronic warfare
- immune to energy neutralizing
- 1.000.000m³ dronebay
- can launch 7 additional fighter or fighter-bombers per Ore Industrial ship level
- can reactivate all drones in system
- can controll station an gate sentry guns
- 5000% to drone damage, tracking, range and HP

But it should have some sort of weakness I guess, so in order to fly one of those you need Polaris V

Use the exploration frigs they have bonuses for cop ops and salvager too. We don´t need t o design a new ship for that. But i agree the mtu would need a nerv.

No, we don't. We need fixes to many other problems, not new shineys.


The only ship builders that truly benefit from the inclusion of new ships are those able to get them out early, for 10-20x their true value. New ships create no more revenue than the currently existing ships, once the initial price bloating passes.


Bombers, Recon ships, Stratios, Astero...

Less bad
