Brilliant ideas, fully agree.
I'd personally opt for both salvage drones and tractor beam simply because some ships (e.g. thorax) have fewer slots but lots of drone space and others (e.g. maller) have little/no drone space but more slots.
And if the tractor beam were a high-slot item it'd give some more purpose to those notorious "utility slots". Heck, a even buddy in an indy on loot pickup detail would be a viable option then

What exactly do you mean by that?
Using a tractor on an object you don't "own" being considered an offensive action (e.g. to deter ore thieves)? Or being able to "attract" a ship towards your own? Or something else altogether?
The first one I'd understand but is a bit too personal to my tastes... depends a lot on perception of (ore) theft in general and all.
Attracting ships might be nice though I fear the effect'll be too similar to a webber (the target will probably struggle to maintain orbit distance causing it to simply slow down) Moreover, attracting cans is one thing, battleships on the other hand... hmm.
Seriously, I think these ideas are great as they are now, no need to complicate things too much
