Hi there,
today I got myself engaged in some rescue missions at stations attacked by thargoids and really enjoyed it! Finally a use case where smaller, mor agile ships are of use! So I wanted to discuss what kind of loadout you find to be the most effective. Here are some of the insights I got when salvaging escape pods etc.:
What are your thoughts on this? Which ship do you prefer? I came to the conclusion that an Asp Explorer might be best suited for this job. Here's my current loadout: https://eddp.co/u/bQ2nqZZJ
I'd be happy to see your fittings!

today I got myself engaged in some rescue missions at stations attacked by thargoids and really enjoyed it! Finally a use case where smaller, mor agile ships are of use! So I wanted to discuss what kind of loadout you find to be the most effective. Here are some of the insights I got when salvaging escape pods etc.:
- You don't need a lot of cargo capacity - one instance usually doesn't contain more than 20t of salvagable goods and your more likely to run out of heatsinks than of cargo capacity
- You need a lot of collector limpet controllers - as you don't need much cargo capacity you can fill any up any unused internal module with collector limpet controller; having more controllers let's you salvage quicker which not only increases efficiency but also lets you use less heat sinks
- You need to be fast and agile - this allows for quick manouvering inside the station and quick recovery of interruptions by explosions
What are your thoughts on this? Which ship do you prefer? I came to the conclusion that an Asp Explorer might be best suited for this job. Here's my current loadout: https://eddp.co/u/bQ2nqZZJ
