* Turret [[Destroyer|destroyers]] ([[Coercer]], [[Cormorant]], [[Catalyst]], and [[Thrasher]]) make for excellent beginner salvaging ships. They have eight high slots, allowing you 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. The missile and drone destroyers ([[Dragoon]], [[Corax]], [[Algos]], and [[Talwar]]) are also decent salvagers, but have fewer high slots. | * Turret [[Destroyer|destroyers]] ([[Coercer]], [[Cormorant]], [[Catalyst]], and [[Thrasher]]) make for excellent beginner salvaging ships.

* The [[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 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 in EVE by miles; its only downsides are its somewhat weak tank (compared to the value of the salvage it often carries) and its steeper price tag of around 70 million ISK. | * The [[Noctis]] is both the next and last step in salvaging ships.
