No. He doesn't. None of what you listed before #12 is required to be a salvager.
All of that is part of a completely different profession ù mission running ù and the effort involved in those steps is repaid through standings, bounties, LP, loot, rewards and time bonuses. Notice how salvage is not on that list?
If you want to engage in the salvaging profession ù if you want to earn your rights to the salvage ù in parallel with your mission running or ratting, all you have to do is steps 1û4 delineated above.
If, on the other hand, you want to engage in the ninjasalvaging professions, you have to go through far more than those four steps. If anything, they've earned it more because they've put more effort (and risk) into it.
See, the problem is this: you incorrectly believe salvaging to be a part of mission running. It is not. Salvaging is its own separate profession and was never meant to be additional income for mission-runners. Once you come to grips with this very simple concept, it all becomes clear to you.
If salvaging really was designed as a profession why do you have to probe out the mission runner and not the salvage itself? If you're a ninja salvager why can you not tractor in the salvage? Your response where you stated it was because it contains the loot can for the mission runner doesn't add up because the ninja salvager could just ignore the loot can after salvaging the wreck. CCP's statements are words to the effect of "its working as designed" but you can't help feel that is a total cop-out and is more of a consequence of their design rather than through actual intent. If they were going to implement salvaging as a profession would they intentially choose a method which, as i'm sure your well aware despite being fastidious in your response, would be considered griefing in any other game? And that it is too much hassle for them to fix.
Note: Should say I don't really have a problem with ninja salvagers and I don't think it is something that is pervasive throughout the game, I just don't really buy CCP's response.
