Hey guys! Due to RL time constraints, I've been restricted to ratting and salvaging and other things you can kind of bail on in a hurry and log off (long story). Anyway, I have been playing EVE off and on since 2010, but was always a PvE/PvP'er and never got into salvaging in any serious way. What I am trying to figure out is, given these limited parameters, is there anything I am missing, as far as skills or modules, etc., to best ensure my chances at a successful salvage? I'll try and post the relevant info below:

Noctis:
Salvager II (x4)
Small Tractor Beam II (x4)
Medium Salvage Tackle II (x3)

Lows and Mids are the usual boring AB, DC, etc. (I dont think there is anything you can put there to increase your chances of a successful salvage?).

Skills:
Salvaging V

Implant:
'Prospector' SV-905

Anyway, yeah, I know salvaging highsec isn't too lucrative, etc... Really just looking to make sure I have done everything I can do as far as fittings and skills, etc., to maximize my percentage chances of a successful salvage.

Any suggestions are welcome. Trolls expected ;)

Get some salvage drones too, fly 5 of them and target the wrecks individually to salvage 5 at a time

I'd also consider using one of the new mobile tractor beam deployable units if the wrecks are yours or abandoned and add more salvagers to the highs and drop some tractors. I also recall salvagers chewing through capacitor on the occasions I've tried it, so maybe some cap recharge mods in the lows/mids?

Also, as someone else mentioned, I'd add some salvage drones if the Noctis has a drone bay.

the big advantage of the MTU is that it collects all the loot in a single container, so once you salvage a wreck, it will disappear entirely. Also a free tractor beam, etc, let it work on the close stuff while you pull the far stuff.

If you want an activity thats more rewarding and can easily be dropped at a moments notice, I would suggest null/low hacking sites, hunting blitzing hisec 4/10s, and ghost site hunting. Or nullsec ratting.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Never forget.

Batelle said it.
Null sec ratting, from a cloaky T3.

You'll make more, have more fun, and still be able to warp to a safe spot and cloak real fast.

Hi-sec salvaging will most likely cause you to quit the game. Don't Do It!!! AttentionAttentionIdeaUgh

Noctis is a bit obsolete these days. Drop tractor unit let it do the work and salvage in dessy with 8 salvagers (best lock time, align, warp speed...). In HS you have to do with noctis only because tractor unit can be shot without concord intervention.
