What about a tag-along ship to fill your looting & salvaging needs?
The overall bonuses and slot configurations would be defined by race, but the general 'idea' is as follows:
Strategic Cruiser: Tramp Scow
Offensive System:
Hislots: +4 (Zero launcher/turret points)
Midslots: +2
Lowslots: +2
-- +25% tractor beam range & speed per lvl
Defensive System:
Hislots: +2
Midslots: +1
Lowslots: +1
Cargo: +3000
(shield/armor amt/res by racial type)
-- +20% cargo capacity per lvl.
Electronic System:
Hislot: +2
Midslot: +1
Lowslot: +1
Targeting range: +50k
(bonuses by race)
-- +10% salvage chance per lvl.
Engineering System:
Hislot: +0
Midslot: +2
Lowslot: +2
-- 7.5% hacking/analyzer success chance per lvl
Propulsion System:
Speed: 250-350 (by race)
Warp core stability: +2
-- -7.5% reduction in afterburner power usage per lvl
Fully fitted out with support subsystems this vessel will have 8 high slots but no drones, no turret or launcher points. Highly agile with extreme tractor range it's the perfect 0.0 NPC hunter backup or mission runner support, but its ability to withstand a fight is Nil.
This is just an idea, but with the T3 modular design system this would be extremely easy for them to create... modeling, however, might be a little more tricky, taking a cruiser and bulking it out into a hauler configuration.

No. T3 can do a lot but aren't super good at it, this breaks that by making it the wtfawesome explorer/salvager/looter machine of doom. There is already a subsystem that gives you probe strength and tractor beam range/velocity anyway.

THIS
and I would rather see dedicated salvaging/hacking/archeology platforms.

Ohh well, it was only an idea.
We still, after 5 years, need a dedicated tag-along loot boat with zero offensive capabilities and moderately decent tankability... one that does not cost 700m and require three months of dedicated training to even think about piloting.
Just grab a hauler hull, make it T2, slap 8 highs (no turret slots so no mining lasers) on it and give it a tractor bonus and have done.

I agree with a dedicated salvage platform, but that doesn't need the massive cargo hold of a hauler (would make haulers useless). For the cargo hold I would just look at the same cargo hold and bonus as those mining role frigates/cruisers. Give it a small dronebay to defend itself against lesser rats.
Afterwards you can think of the T3 variant.
