Reason:
1 They have 8 Hi Slots
2 They are Fast (Interdictor will be even faster)
3 They have decent cargo capacity
4 No high-salvage skill needed
Hi Slots
6 X Salvager 1
2 X Small tractor beam
Med Slot
at least 1 X AB
Low Slot
Nano, or Cap relay for amarr
head to one wreck, Tractor another 2
Fire 6 X salvager I
I usually succeed in 1 volley, at most 2, rarely 3 (my salvage skill LVL2)
extremely efficient salvage ship!

Ya I use a destroyer (Catalyst)
5x salvager 1
3 x small tractor
1x AB
3x basic cargo expander.
I might dump the cargo expanders for a bit more speed.
Only problem i have run into is cap problems. Trying to salvage with all 5

i actually like my arbitrator for salvaging, mainly because its drones an 1 heavy launcher with 3 salvagers, or 2 salvagers and 1 tractor. |

It was sitting in the back of my hanger hungry and upset because I've neglected it for a year and a half, so I geared it with some tractor beams, some salvagers, and a lot of love. Working great so far! |

Seriously though, a typhoon has been working great. I have this current set-up for looting missions: Hi - 3 x tractor beams, 5 x salvagers Mid - 1 x MWD, 3 x cap rechargers Low - 4 x cargo expanders, 3 x inertial stabilizers I can move ~1200 m/s, have ~1400m3 cargo, and can turn on a dime. |

MWD not working in quite a few missions  but anyways, maybe good for some L4 mission salvage + loot 2 in 1 |

I have an alt follow me around with a Coercer, 4 salvagers, 4 beams, named AB, 200mm plate, nano and nanofibre.
Works great and can help to take down frigates while salvaging.
If you stick a full complement of salvagers on, or beams you will probably end up getting toasted. Belt salvage with the above setup usually means I can create my own salvage as I go. :) |

Yeah dude the destroyer is king for salvaging. I fit it with 6 salvagers, 2 trctors I use as many salvagers as I can on each can I pull in. I am guaranteed to get something if it has anything at all. it has enough cargo to pull in a few bs drops (which is where the good parts are multiple per wreak is great) sadly tho the rate at wich you find stuff seems very low. I was following around buddies in low sec taking every wreak in the entire system for hrs. i ended up with a mere 52 parts  I think these rigs are gonna be expensive as heck... if it takes me that long to get 50 parts these rigs are gonna take days n days of looting to get. I was better off mining in my hulk... but a change of pace is always a blast |

Ive been running lvl 3 and 4 missions using a Domi with salvagers on it. Why wait for the mission to be over? Salvage as you kill.  |

I use a Reaper! I called it "Tiny salvager" and it's fitting is:
High : 2 X Salvager 1
Mid : 1 X Cold gas arcthingy AB
Low : Inertia stabiliser thingy
Drone : 1 X Warrior II
It's fun, fast, almost completely free (Except the drone, but that could be replace with a TI)and to be honest it's fine for cleaning up after someone who's been killing things.
Some call me mad for flying the ships I do... I think they may be right. |

I think we can all agree that as a pure-salvage ship destroyers are the best, but I think the Thrasher is the king of salvagers for one simple reason - its the only destroyer that LOOKS like its been salvaged itself :) I mean c'mon, its got "salvage barge" written all over it! |

definitely the cheapest way to make a decent salvager, works so well... I use a coercer for picking up loot and salvaging after lvl 3 missions 2 tractors, 6 salvagers 1 AB 3 expanded cargo thingies, 1 nano hull thingmajig  best thing is you can tow wrecks behind you while your salvagers work and you are moving to tractor range of the next wreck  |

i've been using a cormorant for salvagin, it works great even with the little cap it has, at first with 1 cargo expander and AB it used to run out of cap but my current setup is 4 tractor beams and 4 salvagers, middle slots 3 cap rechargers and 1mm AB (brings my speed to 250) and 1 PDU at the bottom, it's a beast.

I am thinking of using destroyers but at the moment, I use an Exequror on my alt.
2 Tractor, 2 salvage units.
Shield stuff and an mwd in the mids.
Cargo expanders in the lows
Can follow me around and tank the frigs cruisers that I leave alive when farming the spawns if I leave early to the next belt. Can fit 4 drones if the frig or cruiser in question is scrambling me or is too powerful for some reason. |

My Alt's Science/Logistics Drake setup:
Highs:
3 x Tractor beams
5 x Salvagers
Swap out some of the above for shield transferers when needed. When I get probe launchers sorted then again chop and change as required.
Mids:
3-4 an.alyszers/codebreakers as needed
1 AB/MWD as required
1 large cap battery or shield extender depending on need
Lows:
2-3 Cargo expanders
1 CPR
1 DC if needed
It's a bit of a slow poke, but to be honest, if you draw aggro and kill intelligently in missions the majority of the wrecks are well within tractor range or just a few seconds afterburning away. Shield extender & DC for those high respawn cosmos areas, to give a bit of a buffer if they arent locked down by whoever is tanking with you. Not run out of cap yet, but i dont run it all at the same time. |

Exequror, granted only 4 highs, but if your using it to loot as well, has a nice cargo hold with cruiser 5 and a couple of expanders, plus will easily take an mwd + basic shield tank (just incase a respawn catches you out). |

I'm sort of surprised there's no scrambler in the meds. With a fitting like that, you could probably salvage live targets - well, clobbering them over the head till their wreck pops out. |

I use an exequror, loads of cargo bay space.
I fit the highs with 4 salvagers, no real need for tractors, I don't mind waiting. |

My Cormorant works just fine.
4 tractor beams, 4 salvagers
1 afterburner, 3 cap recharge
1 cargo expander
if my hold gets full i just dump a jet can and toe it with a tractor beam |

Best salvager is maelsstrom .. 8 salvagers... uber shield tank all low pds (till you can keep tank forever) And you can get into any battefield.. salvage and ignore anything else. |
