Salvage, salvage everywhere...

In a world where we have super-caps, dreads and titans and Tech III is appearing like a plague of wasps at a riverside beer garden, why the hell do we still have to salvage every wreck individually?

We have even witnessed the (tardy) arrival of the Mobile Tractor Unit... so why can't it also crunch up the wrecks it drags across space for us. Why can't it be a Wreck and Loot Emascerator... A WaL-E unit? Or a Tractor or Salvage System (ToSS)?

Can someone look at Salvage...? Perhaps add a 'salvage repeatedly' or 'salvage all' setting to Salvage Drones... that lets them salvage everything within your drone control range....

Sure someone thought of this already, but it needs doing, esp with Shadow of the Serpent running.

Salvage drones already do dat. Just don't have any target locks, deploy, select salvage, go afk.

We don't need deployables which has a tractor beam and a salvager, stop being lazy...

what will help is to allow for some wreckage debris to be completely disintegrated .

Skip the third part if you don't want anyone saying "Hi there, you just died!"

As stated above, for the low, low price of a tiny bit of SP and 25m3 of drone space, you can have automatic salvaging.

Combine that with an MTU and suddenly your drones have an effective 125km radius sphere to play in.

it's like the perfect combination, like raspberries and dark chocolate or Starsky and Hutch.

Alright... Just like S&H, we might want a new improved combo...

T2 salvage drones, please!

I'd like to see an MTU where you can turn the ability to tractor cans and/or abandoned cans as well as abilities to salvage on and off independently. Maybe this could be done in a T2 MTU.

Mining teams would probably love an MTU that only selectively tractors cans.
