And it can mine a commodity which has a very good sell point, on par with ores. Not all the transports can mine, have so many regens, mount gb turrets, have a cool powercore and have a pretty sleek profile (unlike the box like profile of most transports), which makes it a godly ship in the hands of capable people. And all that is the downside of the salvager is its somewhat bigger size, absence of CD. I am pretty sure the pros of the ship outweigh the cons.
