Salvage experts

[Mountain Dewed]

I think they should implement a salvage expert company that players can take on.
Player can run company and go from towing broke down(out of fuel) players to picking up partially destroyed ships and scrapping the mats from them for profit...

The problem I see with this is that the players, once you get them back to civilized space, tend to want to keep their ship. This is a problem because I, as a person who invested time and money to bring it back, wish to claim full rights to my haul. I say wait until the ship is vacated, and then do the same thing.

I think the idea of being able to salvage destroyed ships that are found in unidentified signal sources is great. You would have to equip your ship with a salvage arm module perhaps to do salvaging. perhaps even a wreckage scanner to find salvageable components that would be worth more than simple scrap. If Frontier develops the "own your own small space port" idea then perhaps salvaging would be required to build up your port. Lots of potential for this idea to help out the game.

From what I understand, there has been a galnet post about salvaging, so I think it is already on the way in.
