Hello and nice to meet you all

I am an older character but still new to the world of eve I play in burst so I am not sure if this has been brought up before or not. I am still currently in LVL 2-3 security mission and I mainly fly a destroyer. sometimes I get out my cruiser if I need a little more life and fire power. I zone in and warp to the combat location site and then start to do my work. As I complete my job. I have one salveger attached to my spacecraft and it feels like it takes me 20 min of waiting for that one salvager to suck out the remains of the husks of metal debris I just made. I have made salvage ships before but I hate having to jump 3 systems to get a salvage and run back up there and pick up all the crap that I just blew up. is there any way that we could combine some of these aspects into rigging attachments like a (Mobile tractor & Salvage unit) or a Drone Salavage bay and bandwith though rigging slots. I am willing to forfit some tank for ease of salvage it is so time consuming as is right now. I don't mind being a salvage ship for group Tier 3-4 missions either I have done that in the past and my salvage ship kicks but on that. it is just the solo part of it.

Solo is supposed to be hard. It is what makes teamwork with others more attractive.

And you already have options.
You can bring a full compliment of salvage-related mods with you in your cargohold and swap them out using a Mobile Depot.
You can have salvage drones in your drone bay and bring a Mobile Tractor Unit. Shoot NPCs with your guns at range, let the MTU pull stuff in, have the salvage drones set for auto-salvage (hint: when there are wrecks on the field, unselect all targets. Then order your drones to salvage. They will automatically go after he closest wreck and continue until there is nothing left on field).

Plus, the salvage coming from lower level missions is generally not worthwhile. You will get more money blitzing the missions and farming the Loyalty Points.

How did you Veterans start?
