A mining beam type weapon for salvaging wrecks and debris pieces. I don't think heat should be a problem with salvaging, but perhaps there could be other limitations. Discuss.

Soon people will be screaming SALVAGE ME SALVAGE ME on guild chat right before they explode.

What I'm thinking is a limit on what can be salvaged, and the debris despawns after 15 mins.

In terms of what can be salvaged, I mean BOTH A) it only holds, for example, 40 SSS and B)Don't make it some dumb stuff like a freaking reactor can be salvaged.

@JJ That would be funny tbh

I don't think a repair gun is what he means JJ, but a mining beam that can convert the floating object assets into a widget that can be interacted with for trade, missions, and so on.

+1 Oh yes, salvage me baby!

No need to over-complicate things. You could just as well use the already-existing mining mechanics, except with the debris 'asteroids' providing Scrap Metal, Silksteel, XiRite Alloy, etc instead of Premium Ore.

Actually, I like vIsitor's version better.

+1!!!

+1 vIsitor's idea

+1 vIsitor

+1 VIsitor. However, roids also prevent jumping, and Inc has stated debris should not, so that would need fixing also.
