as far as im aware the skill adds a 2% chance per level. But yes I do like this earlier suggestion for a possible t2 salvage drone.\

"Edit: If making them as good as T1 salvagers is so very taboo than why not give T1 salvagers a buff or make T2 drones 4%. Stil"l better and they don't make salvagers obsolete. " -Xmaxan

will this work?

Yes, that's works fine.

You only have to command the salvage drones to salvage once and they'll go and do their thing on all the wrecks within range.

Combined with a MTU, it's an easy way to loot and salvage. Works well if you drop the MTU and bring in the salvage drones a bit later so there are plenty of wrecks located at the MTU.

Isn't it per level of the skill Tippia? Or does the skill add a set bonus, I'm not logged into check the skill atm, I just remember I trained it to V and they were awesome.

D'oh. Yes, if it's a bonus to the skill, it'll be +5%, which is enough. I somehow read it as just a flat +1% to the drone. Oops

Maybe t2 salvage drones could have a faster activation rate rather than jacking with the access difficulty rates, or buff their optimal range so they start cycling on a wreck a bit sooner when moving from wreck to wreck.

Just make Tech 2 salvage drones faster, not necessarily better, than tech 1. Higher ROF and mwd speed would be plenty to make them more useful than tech 1.

Maybe make them medium drones...... Would be fair enough.

salvage drones currently can't salvage some advanced sleeper wrecks. It would be nice if they could.
