Salvaging on PVE?

[Aksolotli]

Worth it? I'm using drone ship so i have a lot of room for it.

What kind of PvE?

Generally, not worth it if it makes you spend considerable extra time in whatever site you're doing. Since you're not using a dedicated salvage boat, at best you're looking at like 2 salvagers, with no extra bonuses from rigs and/or ship skills. That means you're going to be sitting there for a while, which could be time spent on a smaller income than whatever PvE it is you're doing.

A better alternative could be a tractor beam with a single salvager, so you can do it while you're fighting, especially if you only go for the medium and large wrecks, and ignore the small ones; you shouldn't stay in the site any extra time that way.

Tech II and Sleeper wrecks are always worth it, though.

Or... just use an MTU...?

MTU will only loot and not salvage, though. He would still have to sit there and plink away at wrecks with his one or two unbonused salvagers, which could be a big waste of time since simply running another mission or whatever likely pays more money.

An MTU makes sense when you're shooting ships that can drop nice loot, though, since you can more easily get all of it that way.

in a null sec alliance salvageing in a noctis might be worth it

Get a sneaky T2 wreck on the gates. Outside Jita, that won't flag you as hostile. Or just become a wreck yourself.
