For those players who can't access engineers or who have no intention of using the engineers, there should be the option to SELL materials, not just trade them.
If I want to play a salvager, I'm dropping into every signal source and most contain only materials. Being able to sell them would surely increase the enjoyment of the few salvagers there are, or indeed increase the viability of being a salvager.
