Looking at all the new Materials of Odyssey and the frightening lack of abundance on Planets (POIs)...
...why not scatter classic Materials and similar things on the Ground - but now allow the Maverick Suit Arc Cutter to Salvage these by cutting them to pieces.
IMHO this would go a long way to improve the new EDO Materials situation.
Players could finally attain Mats without stealing or grinding Missions by actually salvaging them - and in lieu of actually being able to order a drink at a Bar have something to barter attained by normal Gameplay.
Having Skimmers exploding scatter some new Materials in Odyssey would help as well, as would giving far more wreckage parts with Salvaging points.
(i.e. crashed NAV Beacons, Black Boxes, Cargo Racks, Server Racks/Data Links and everything else that could qualify for cutting useful pieces out of... I'd draw the line pointing Arc Cutters at Occupied Escape Pods though due to PEGI rating
)
Right now, the Maverick Suit almost seems redundant when salvaging POIs on Planets, as Artificial Structures seem extremely rare outside of the bubble.
PS.
If the Arc Cutter requires cut lines and adding them to all the various pieces found in POIs would be too Dev Resource intensive, a quick workaround would be to allow to simply shoot some things into collectible pieces as well for ease of purpose.
I'd prefer the ability to cut things to collectible pieces with the Arc Cutter though, it's what gives the whole suit and cutter its purpose.
Rationale :

- so one could drive up with an SRV and collect them as classic Materials or scan the Data Link
- but one could also use the Maverick Suit Arc Cutter, split them into pieces or cut something out - and collect a respective variety of new Materials (that are otherwise seemingly unavailable most of the time)

Rationale :
- classic Materials and Data are offered widespread throughout signal Sources
- new Materials (EDO) sadly are not and the current Planetary POIs offer very little to gather any meaningful stock; almost all seems to be bound to Missions or Settlement raids
