  info: 'The Noctis marks Outer Ring Excavations'' entry into the lucrative bulk [[salvaging]]
    market. Building on their successes integrating Marauder-class tractor technology
    into the [[Orca]] command platform, and innovations in automated salvaging technology,
    they designed a compact, affordable wreck recovery solution.


    A refined version of the successful limited-run Primae design made the perfect
    hull to house this new equipment, as its salvaging heritage and advanced sensor
    suites complement and enhance the new technologies. The increased sensor footprint
    of the new vessel is more than compensated for by its incredible efficiency at
    retrieving and reclaiming wreckage.


    The Noctis can fit up to five [[Salvage Drone Operation|Salvage Drones]], further
    enhancing its salvaging capabilities.'

## Summary

</div>
The Noctis is the last word in salvaging, and is a considerable upgrade over a salvage fitted destroyer. Besides its bonuses to tractor beams and salvagers it also sports a large cargo bay, able to store loot from even the most destructive level 4 missions. The Noctis is expensive however, and is unlikely to be worth it for a player who is not yet running at least level 3 missions.

## Skills

</div>
Salvaging V

ORE Hauler IV

Science III - to be able to fit Small Tractor Beam I
<div style="display: flow-root;">

## Tactics

</div>
Accept the mission, complete the mission with your battle-fitted ship, bookmark a wreck before you leave, and turn in the mission. Hop in the Noctis, warp to the bookmark and salvage and loot all the wrecks.

Remember to bookmark a wreck in each deadspace pocket if there are multiple pockets.

For extra efficiency do several missions, then hop in the Noctis and salvage them all. Remember not to leave it longer than 2 hours!
<div style="display: flow-root;">

## Notes

</div>
Noctis is the genitive form of the Latin noun nox, meaning "night"; the ship's name means "of night".
