ORE destroyer sized salvager

Ok I know there has been talks about a destroyer sized salvager before here. But I’d like to have an option besides the noctis and explo frigates. And leave the noctis as a bulk salvager, (ideally it will be complementing the use of MTUs rather than the MTUs replacing its role if you ask me).
This new destroyer sized salvager ship would be for small scale salvaging of fields of small frigate to medium cruiser sized wrecks, possibly taking away from any bonus from the access difficulty to rather improve on the speed of the salvage cycle time, focusing on nimbleness and speed and being a tier better than the t1 explo frigates by having more cargo space and a similar radius signal (for better ninja salvaging in low null wh poch), also since it would be fast it only could have bonuses to the salvagers rather than tractor beams.

+1 for ORE Destroyer sized salvager hull. Noctis is just… Well. Noctis. It’s kinda boring to have Cormorant & Catalyst being the next and usually last step with salvage vessels :face_with_rolling_eyes:

OK, I’ll take a stab at a few specs (incomplete).
. . . . .

Remora (ORE destroyer-class salvager)

Ore Mining Frigate (per skill level):
• 5% reduction in Tractor Beam duration
• 25% bonus to Tractor Beam range and velocity
• 5% reduction in Salvager duration

Role Bonus:
• Can fit Covert Ops Cloaking Device
• Cloak reactivation delay reduced to 15 seconds

Slots: 7 high, 2 mid, 1 low | Rigs: 3
Cargo space: 560m3
Drone Bay: 20m3, Drone Bandwidth: 10mbit (2x light drones)

Notes:
• Ore Hauler is too skill-intensive and I didn’t want to add a new skill, so I went with Ore Mining Frigate instead.
• Same salvage bonus as the Noctis (but reduced cargo and range).

What’s wrong with a catalyst?
Salvage rigs and t2 salvagers its worked well for years.

The existing dds do just fine we don’t need another ship
