EVE Noctis Ship Launched

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!
