How about to make a exploration/archaeological ship in cruiser size

ORE Industrial skill bonus:

5% bonus to Tractor Beam and Salvager cycle time per level.
60% bonus to Tractor Beam range and velocity per level.

Exploration / Archaeological ship bonus:

5% increase to scan strength of probes per level
5% increase in chance of archaeological find per level.

Role Bonus:
10% bonus to salvage drone hit points and travel speed Big smile

or
wreck detector (wrecks will be scan able with Scan Probes)

Drone Capacity : 50 m3
Drone Bandwidth : 50 Mbit/sec
Cargo capacity: 500m3

Low slots : 2
Med slots : 4
High slots : 3

no Turret and Launcher hardpoints

and yes I know the salvage drones are still not out jet

just an future idea Big smile

for the Salvage/Exploration specialization

Tech 2 ships are specialized for a specific role.
What you've proposed might make more of a T3 noctis, that is it seems like several different ships squished together.

I think the idea of a Tech 2 "wreck detector" Noctis has a lot of potential though you might want to try to focus on just that and build a ship.

There are several existing ideas for Tech 2 exploration ships that make more sens than starting with a Noctis hull.

I'll see your strange request and raise you:
Warp cloaked
20% range/velocity of tractors instead
25/100 drone bay instead
10% probing bonus
Random other benefits
And, most importantly, not needing to add anything into the game.

Oh, and the ability to probe wrecks won't be added into the game. It would be of dubious use at best and very exploitable at worst, not to mention a pain to change the probing mechanics for a niche role which is of little practical use.
