Alright,
I can run 4 drone hordes an hour, but then have to spend 35 minutes or so cleaning them up. So, obviously im looking for ways to speed things up.

So, i pose the question.
Is it worth it to salvage the small and medium wrecks. Should i just focus on the 20 or so large wrecks and leave the rest there.

second question, a corpy told me that not salvaging will **** with the respawn time, which i dont believe is accurate, but some one my know more then me on spawn mechanics in the game. As far as i know, once the anom is complete and you leave, the anom signature despawns and a new one replaces it.

third question,
why do rogue drone faction (sentient) spawns salvage suck so bad. I got a 20 mil enhanced ward console off a guristas rat once. Ive killed 5 sentient spawns and they havent yeilded more then a mil combined in salvage. and to top it off, most faction spawns have a bounty of 10 mil. the sentient spawns loot is worth less then 100k. so, whats up with the rogue drones sucking.

Yes, I complain about things I don't like.

Using a noctis should speed up your salvaging significantly. I don't really shoot drones, so I don't know much about salvaging them but isn't the loot they drop worth quite a bit?

im already using a noctis, it takes like 8 minutes to salvage the entire horde. so one hour of ratting equals 32 minutes of salvaging with noctis

Start making calculations if it's worth it to salvage or just ignore and do another bunch of missions.
