Requires Salvage V and Salvage Drone V, can salvage tech II items from ships too, specifically these drones will operate as if equipped with a salvager II.

+1

There will be those that scream about game breaking, or flooding the market with tech 2 salvage, but I say yes please.

That's why I included both skills at V, you basically need to be able to use a tech II salvager already so no extra salvage will hit the market, just makes things nicer for drone bunnies at the cost of some combat drones in the hold

+1 -- improves the scope for care-beariing, whiuch in turn means more care-bears for the gankers to try to prey upon, which means more kil-rights in hi-sec space, and therefore more gankers blown up, which in turn leads to more gank-swrecks for the T2 Salvager drones to salvage from.

this alone would have been enough for me to say yes so +2
Also you left out the tear part which would have made it a +3

Could you please elaborate what you mean with 'can salvage tech II items'?

No need of drohnes which are "Salvaging" as goog as salvager, use drohnes to salvage afk and normal wrecks use Salvager for advanced wrecks.

Umm no. If you wanna salvage wrecks in pvp, you can give up a neut for a slavager 2

+ 1 for being able to theoretically salvage higher teir sleeper stuff while still fighting them. -1 for now being able to bug out with fewer lost ribbons.

To clarify, the tech II salvage drone would work the same as the tech II salvager, no more no less. Just a drone version. In reply to thse saying 'No use a high slot for salvager II' this isn't a consideration since the advent of the mobile depot and if you take along salvage drones you are sacrificing drone bay space. This is the same to a drone bunny as giving up a high slot to a guns or missile pilot

And make them medium drones, i.e. 10m3. Five Salvage I drones or a mixed set of two Salvage II and one Salvage I drones. Quite the conundrum.

Okay. Now I do not think a tech 2 version of salvaging drones are necessary at the moment. The ones we have right now do what they are told and so far I didn't have any difficulty salvaging even named faction wrecks with 'tech 2' salvage in them.

For clarity I only have salvaging drones at level III for the time being but I have all my skills for the Noctis including the ship skill at V.

Maybe at a point in the future I may change my mind since I am about to enter a realm of the unknown.

slvagerI drones don't work on shadow serp or dark blood ships so far for me hence why I thought tech II ones would be a nice addition, especially for the more nomadic exlporer

T2 Salvager drones, please. Give them some actual mobility and a microwarp drive like other drones, then boost the access success rate a little and call it done.

It'd give me a reason to build salvage drones, so +1.

That whole limited to PvP train of thought crap again.
For a dedicated salvage pilot in a Noctis this would allow considerably more flexibility. The current tech 1 salvage drones are worthless. Like he says make them the same as a tech 2 salvage beam nothing more, nothing less.

I could be fine with the increase to 10m3 size as long as the Noctis drones bay was increased to 50m3 at the same time. It is only common sense that the best salvage ship should be able to use a full compliment of the best salvage drones in the game.
