Wormholes

Im new to the game, have trained up to use the noctis with decent skill. I'm just looking to make ISK right now. I tried salvaging for mission runners but its not all that consistent or great money.

So maybe a wormhole corp would be a good place for me. You shoot stuff I salvage it. We all have fun. Anyway I was just curious if I could be of use.

Thanks

You could try brave newbies, they have a WH corp (Dropbears Anonymous).
Not exactly sure what their requirements are but theyre likely to be as low as youre going to fine in WH space since theyre a newb oriented corp.

I've been looking for noctis in WH space all week ;)

That said Brave Newbies is probably a good suggestion. They seem to have an awful lot of fun.

thanks for the help guys. ill contact the ones mentioned

I'd second Eve University. There's a series of campuses to take you through High Sec, Low Sec, Null Sec, and finally Wormhole living. Each campus teaches you more about security and self-sufficiency and also provides instruction and resources in specific roles.

It's a great place to learn about the complexities of Eve.

In whs you have to scan and rely on yourself. Dont expect that there will be always someone to scan yo uk-space exit or shoot sleepers for you to slavage. W-space operations are usually small scale so no 10k man coalitions in one staging system.

That is some kind of myth imho. My salvaging 4 can take almost all sleepers on first cycle and i solo C4 anoms and intend to solo capescallations. (with 4 account of course.) Waiting for someone to team up is such a huge loss of time....

Now with the tractor unit tractor bonus of noctis became irelevant too. I might switch back to destroyer lol.

I started in a wormhole corp this way myself. Skilled for a Noctis and did cleanup duty for my corp's PvE ops. Salvaging IV is plenty for sleeper battleships and lower along with some salvage rigs.

But honestly, I don't prefer the Noctis for this sort of thing anymore. A better way to do things is to run a heavily passive tanked battlecruiser with salvagers and a couple mobile tractor arrays. You can warp in on the Sleepers with your PvE fleet fire up your hardeners and damage control, and drop a tractor array at the start of the fight. If the sleepers primary you, no big deal - your tank and logi can handle it. You start salvaging while the battle is going on. And since you're surrounded by friendly teammates, you're not an attractive target for a gank.

You won't finish salvaging the site before the rest of your fleet is ready to warp to the next combat site. That's fine, just make sure you've bookmarked your tractor array and warp with the fleet to the next site and drop your next tractor array. Start salvaging there. Once things have slowed down enough and all the wrecks to be drawn in are remote, you can leave your PvE buddies and head back to the first site. You'll now find a bunch of wrecks floating near the array, and you can start salvaging them quickly and empty the tractor array in the meantime. Then when things slow down, head over to the second site again and do the same thing.

Once a site is clear, scoop the first array and get a fleet warp-in for the third site and repeat the process. In this staggered manner, I can clear the sites of wrecks much more quickly than I ever could in my Noctis.

Furthermore, since you're shuttling back and forth between locations, some of them occupied by your entire fleet, you're a much more difficult target to set up a gank on. And cruisers/battlecruisers align to warp a lot faster than a scow Noctis does and can be tanked much more impressively.

Faster, tankier, and more efficient. I'm afraid the Noctis is probably obsolete now because of these tractor arrays.

In a C1 or C2, I wouldn't use a Noctis either. I'd prefer a salvage destroyer - given that the loot payout in a C1/C2 really isn't worth risking a pricey Noctis over.

Noctis's are obsolete in Whs, thanks to the Mobile Tractor Unit. Just fit out any destroyer with 8 salvagers in the highs, salvaging rigs, and some cap recharge, and you're good to go.
