CCP Games has revealed the newest ship in the EVE Online fleet. Called the 'Noctis', the ship is a dedicated salvager. Devs have released a great screenshot showing off the base stats and a bit of eye candy for the Noctis. Check it out!

For those wondering, the tractor beam cycle bonus is a mild timesaving tweak - anyone who's tried to really optimize their Marauder salvaging has probably become a little frustrated with waiting for tractors to finish cycling, and with the increased speed that the Noctis will be pulling things in, the default cycle length will end up wasting a fair amount of time. The tractor cycle bonus is meant as a mild offset to this; the salvage cycle bonus is more obviously useful.

We'll be seeding the new skill and blueprint in ORE stations everywhere (ie, Outer Ring) in the next expansion, retailing for 1,600,000 and 390,000,000 respectively. Aaaaand... that's about it, really. Hope you find it useful!

See larger versions of the screens here.

O good a dedicated salvager.......

Noctis on a Primae Hull ?

Primae Noctis - CCP are going to screw your wife !

no increase to cargo space with training?  1460 M3 is still kinda cheap on the cargo space...

The idea for this ship is great but it's current design and specs leave a lot to be desired.  It seriously needs another mid slot to make it useful for archeaology and hacking as well as for some defensive mods like propulsion or shield upgrades.  It also needs a drone bay which could be used for mining drones and/or the unpublished salvage drones.  Hopefully they will introduce T2 and T3 versions with better stats, more slots, and bonuses for probes, analyzers, and codebreakers and a turret/launcher hardpoint as well as cloaking and jump capabilities and bonuses.

Like I said, good idea and one that has been needed. It just needs some tweaks.

FREEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!

I wondered when this was coming :).

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT!!!!!

This better then destroyer is has 300% extra range  range of the tractor beam with lvl 5 skill

so instead of 20, 60 km range so cargo t2 cargo holds 3026 far more you can have with a destroyer

You can also put medium cargo hold specialisation on an other 45% cargo so 4602 cargo but better ae of course the salvage rigs of a mix.

So all with all better as primae. Where you only had somthing on if you where a newbie in eve.

First months the prices will be thenfold like infrastructure hub so buy it not directly but after 3 months.

 

 

umm... this thing looks like the Event Horizon

and i think its intention.

Sooo..... you're asking for a dedicated exploration ship? I don't think that won't happen anytime soon and if it did it would be a sub-cap ship. That thing you want has too much of an all-in-one feel to it and I don't think CCP does that.

Looking at what you've said again it just sounds like you're joking, at least ....I hope you're joking.

Pretty expensive blueprint for a ship with such low requirements.

Actually, that's exactly what I'm asking for.  If you take a look at the comments section for the blog over in the EVE forums, that's what many are asking for and according to CCP Greyscale's reply, the devs did discuss it.  I'm just hoping they decide to meet us somewhere in between at least.

This is perfect for people like me who are still running destroyers as dedicated salvagers in missions.

MUUUUUUUCH faster, much more efficient and way more cargo space.

Hopefully they'll be around the 50-100 mil predicted price people have been coming up with - that's too bad of an investment for lvl 4's.

Woops, I meant NOT too bad of an investment, not too bad of an investment.
