Not supported.
This keeps coming up and keeps coming up and keeps coming up. Look, salvage is meant as a mini-profession in order to generate the raw materials to create rigs. Let's think through what would happen if you introduce salvage aggro:
1) Pirates will bait mission runners much the same way they bait miners and the next thing you know the same mission runners will be complaining about how pirates are baiting them and blowing them up and boo-hoo, make it so only the wreck owner can salvage.
2) The number of people engaging in salvaging activities will decrease resulting in...
3) the value of salvage materials will increase resulting in...
4) the cost of all those rigs you have will increase and you will all be complaining about how no one can afford to buy rigs anymore to fit on the new ship you had to buy because someone came into your mission and blew you up.
Seriously, get over it. Mission in a less crowded area. Salvage your own wrecks as you go (I have seen plenty of mission runners do this and i generally leave them alone). Bring someone along to salvage for you. There are 3 solutions to your problem that do not involve screwing up the entire salvage/rig market.

Although, I don't understand that other thing where somehow associating risk with ninja salvaging will cause mass market hysteria.
Because additional risk means I have to compensate for that risk by increasing my prices.
Right now salvage is cheap because there is essentially no risk associated with obtaining it. If we implement a new aggro mechanic, I am now risking my ship when I go out to salvage, I have to have some way of off-setting that risk, so I increase my prices to cover my potential losses.
I'm not saying ninjas will stop, I'm saying they will increase their prices.

THERE ALREADY IS RISK.
The only reason you think there is no risk is because you mission in high-sec. If you want to make more money anyway you will have to run missions in low-sec.
This doesn't take much brain power to understand. If you want to shoot at people - leave high-sec. If you want the safer but cheaper end of the verse, you stay in high-sec.
This isn't an argument, it's a lack of understanding on your part.
Thank you Efrim, this actually proves my point. Look at how much more expensive T2 rigs are. This is because T2 salvage is extremely valuable due to the risk associated with obtaining it. What you are suggesting will bring this risk to T1 salvage, thereby increasing T1 rig prices.
