[Proposal] Scan-able wrecks and containers/strengthen the salvager profession

Proposal:

• * Make wrecks and containers scan-able with scan probes.

Motivation:

• This would strengthen the salvager as independent profession and would allow them to scan for the wrecks that are left behind by mission runners, rather than the need to scan for the active mission runner in his mission.


• This would ease on the relation ship between mission runners and salvagers as the salvager does not need to salvage the wrecks under the eyes of an active mission runner, especially since the mission runners still think that salvage belongs to them, which is not the case as stated by CCP several times.


• It would also relieve the database from maintaining left behind wrecks for the full two hours and could works as player driven "database cleaning" of objects.

Scanning a ship does require special probes, namely the combat probes. So scanning a mission runner indirectly by using core probes to scan the wrecks would become possible, but you wouldnt know if one is inside till you get there.

So to not make ppl abuse normal core probes to scan down mission runners "indirectly" it should be fairly difficult with cores to scan wrecks.

Still this would at least allow you to scan down for those wrecks that get left behind by a mission runner or left behind by exploration site users who didnt clean up their exploration site.

In addition since deadspaces areas dissapear after a while the "covering" of it (as stated above) will dissapear too (if it still exist), so it could be that scanning wrecks in a not active mission could/can be easier than scanning for wrecks in an active mission

• It's not Ninja salvaging, since currently you're doing it right under the nose of the mission runner. There is nothing stealthy about it . It would be ninja if you could do it without noticing the salvager.


• It's not stealing as CCP has stated several times that they want salvaging to be an independent profession.
