FD, it gets tiring to dump mats all the time, even G1 mats. It would be nice if we could sell them instead, or turn them in as mission requirements.
It would be nice if there were...
...Science factions - Factions who primarily hand out missions for mats and data
...Science contacts - contacts at stations who you can sell mats and data to
I do realize that mats are a zero risk "commodity" in this sense, but the difficulty of stockpiling higher tier mats should balance it out OK. For the contact mentioned above, you could have a pricing structure like
G5: 10,000 Cr
G4: 5,000 Cr
G3: 2,500 Cr
G2: 1,000 Cr
G1: 500 Cr
Even nicer if they were broken up by "science" and "salvage" type mats, with the incoming salvage contacts taking some, and the aforementioned science contacts taking others.
Basically, mat hunting would be a nice addition to a salvage career path.
