Salvage Link in Loot window
Really simple idea. When you are looting from destroying a ship, have a wreck salvage icon next to the repair one so you can go and salvage right after you loot.
Re: Salvage Link in Loot window
And skip spending fuel on scanning wrecks?
Sure, it makes sense but it breaks balance.

It would still function like regular wreck salvage. Same as the link for it in the repair window.

This can be/has been done already. There is a salvage icon on the repair screen. So just go to repair, then salvage. You'll still spend the one fuel unit needed to activate the scan, as well as the 2 units per pass.

There is already a Targeting Beacon that locks wrecks so only you can find them. (There is also a guild targeting beacon.)
An alternative to this is have an alternative to the Wide Spectrum Scanner units.
Narrow Spectrum Scanner T1
+6 Hours / +1 scan hits
This unit collapses the player ship's scanning frequencies when scanning for salvage. While it dramatically increases the wreck age range, it ONLY reports hits with a Player or Guild Targeting Beacon. Wrecks without a Targeting Beacon are not reported. This scans one location within a system.
Narrow Spectrum Scanner T2
+8 Hours / +2 scan hits
This unit collapses the player ship's scanning frequencies when scanning for salvage. While it dramatically increases the wreck age range, it ONLY reports hits with a Player or Guild Targeting Beacon. Wrecks without a Targeting Beacon are not reported. This scans all locations within a system.
Otherwise, Mastalanak, if I remember correctly, a salvage scanner without a Wide Spectrum unit only shows your wrecks, and only in the current location. If you equip a basic salvage scanner, you can run a few combats, then go to salvage and clean them up. An Agro Salvage Scanner 1 will only show you one wreck at a time, but you can get them as long as you clean them within two hours. If you are looking for a specific ship, use a Scan Limit Expander so you get more hits without going further back in time.
