The lower a pilot's skills and equipment, and the more "difficult" the wreck is (see [[#Salvaging time|the section on salvaging time]]), the more cycles it will take before salvaging is successful. To salvage more distant wrecks, pilots either need to fly closer to them or use a [[#Modules|tractor beam]] to pull them closer.

These are the ship modules, implants, and items which are relevant when fitting a ship for salvaging. Alternatively, salvaging can also be done with [[Drones#Salvage drones|salvaging drones]], which needs no modules, only a drone bay (and which is not affected by any other modules and implants).

|'''[[Mobile Tractor Unit]]s''' are deployable structures which automatically tractor all nearby wrecks (and containers) and loot their contents. While MTUs don't salvage wrecks, they do collect them into a compact space, alleviating the need to tractor them (or to fly to them). They have an enormous range (125&nbsp; km for the basic unit), but only tractors in one wreck at a time, and don't do it particularly quickly (1000&nbsp;m/s). However, once deployed they continue to work even if you fly away.

Any ship with a free high slot can be used as a salvager. However, there are two ship classes which are most suitable:
* Turret [[destroyers]] ({{sh|Coercer}}, {{sh|Cormorant}}, {{sh|Catalyst}}, and {{sh|Thrasher}}) make for excellent beginner salvaging ships. They have eight high slots, allowing pilots to salvage many wrecks simultaneously. They also have a decent amount of cargo space and are moderately fast, not to mention very reasonably priced. Their main weakness is a rather small [[capacitor]], so they may not be able to salvage continuously with all eight Salvagers. The missile and drone destroyers ({{sh|Dragoon}}, {{sh|Corax}}, {{sh|Algos}}, and {{sh|Talwar}}) are also decent salvagers but have fewer high slots.

* The {{Sh|Noctis}} is both the next and last step in salvaging ships. It has the same eight high slots as a destroyer, but comes with a huge bonus to tractor beam speed and range; with good skills, its tractor beams can reach out to 80&nbsp; km, hoovering up wrecks from an entire battlefield. Additionally, it gets a bonus to the cycle time of salvaging modules, reducing the time it takes to salvage each wreck. The Noctis is the best salvaging ship by miles; its only downsides are its somewhat weak tank (compared to the value of the salvage it often carries), its slow speed, and its steeper price tag of around 130 million ISK.

They have free high slots which can be used for tractor beams and salvagers (as well as a bonus to tractor beam velocity and range) and a large cargo hold but are ruinously expensive ships (easily 2 billion ISK for ship and modules) and require specialised skills.

The defining mechanic for salvaging is the "salvaging chance", which is the probability that you will successfully salvage the wreck in one cycle of your salvaging module/drone. As explained above, if you fail a salvaging attempt, your module/drone will continue cycling until you succeed - so the probability is an indication of how many cycles (i.e. time) it takes to salvage a wreck (or, in the case of very difficult wrecks, allows you to salvage them at all). Improving your chance to salvage does ''not'' give you better salvage.

Lastly, travel time should be taken into account when using salvaging drones - salvaging a wreck 5&nbsp;km away easily adds ten seconds to the salvaging time (as the drone needs to fly to the wreck, salvage it, and return to your ship), so, if possible, keep your ship as close to the wrecks as possible (or use a Mobile Tractor Unit to pull all the wrecks into a ball).
