Salvaging - yes & why

Hello everyone, Tauza here with some education that is not that common in Eve Online. We are going to talk about the forgotten Salvage Drone. Here is a short video I created of it's animation as it works in game. I used Nvidia Shadow Play to create it :-)

Lets start out with what the Salvaging mechanic is with a video by CCP Nova as he explains the mechanics of Salvaging and why it is so profitable. He explains the skills needed, what equipment is required and talks about the Noctis, a specialized Salvaging ship.

Now that we have that covered let me add a few things that people seen not to understand about how this works.

DON'T TARGET THE WRECKS THAT YOU WANT TO SALVAGE!

If you target a wreck and tell the salvage drones to go salvage it that is exactly what they will do. They will then stop and just orbit your ship. Not very efficient IMO.

If you have a MTU (mobile tractor unit) that is tractoring everything in for you (like in the video) then you can then launch drones when your done in the mission (if your running one) and just right click in YOUR DRONE LAUNCH WINDOW and tell the drones to "salvage". They will then salvage anything that is within your drone control range.

Pretty neat huh? Perfect time when you finish the mission to go get that cum of coffee while the MTU and drones clean up the mess you just made :-)
