Mobile tractor units make the tractor bonus on marauders pointless.
Swap it to a salvage chance bonus and make it a bit more useful.

Actually the whole bonus is sort of pointless since a noctis is still better or even a dessie with salvage tackles fitted. I think it would be better to give them an unrelated bonus that actually benefits the hull itself, not just one weird out of place bonus on it.

Of course this is still a good idea, i personally just think it should get something more usefull

♣ Small Gang PVP, Large Fleet PVP, Black Ops, Incursions, Trade, and Industry ♣ 70% Lethal / 30% Super-Snuggly / 110% No idea what im doing ♣

You're both wrong.

T2 Salvage Drones are what marauders really need.

I like this as well, if they made the bonus worth it. Sad to see my extra 2 gardes go :( 150 deeps

Actually I've found the tractor bonus kind of nice for blitzing certain missions where I kill something that drops a can I need an item from, tractor it in and take the item and run with most the rats still on grid.

I like the tractor range because it means I don't need to come back, and with salvage drones out I can pick stuff up faster than I can kill.
