Hi,
I was wondering if it would be straightforward to add a feature to salvaging when it is created. Rather than having it similar to mining why don't you add something similar to the underwater unmanned submersibles used by explorers for ships like the Titanic.
So you would be able to purchase a drone that you could detach from your ship and send it through the gaping damage in derelict vessels, huge ships that have a maze or corridors. They would pilot in very much the same way as your own ship and within each hulk you explore there would be treasure to acquire.
So rather than having to create a new fps mechanic you could use what you have already. Sure you could add hacking mini games etc to access doors, but moving the drone would be fun and even having a mini game to use the drones arms to access the treasure within the various vaults it is kept in would be cool. It would add that sense of mystery and excitement.
Your drone could also run into other drones and for these situations you would have weapons to fight them with.
I just love the idea of exploring the vessels in this manner, and I am not sure it has been done very well to date.
Any good?
