Salvaging is a classic example of CCP giving players what they wanted, not what they needed.
In short, there's very little that can be done for salvaging as an independent profession as long as the Noctis exists, and secondarily as long as exploration sites drop T2 salvage. |

The noctis could use something as well..
The noctis is the very reason that salvage is worth so little.
Why is it so hard for people to understand this: when you have a resource that's widely available and easy & convenient to gather, then income per hour from that resource will always be low. The only way to avoid this is for CCP to put in artifical price support.
If you want to make ISK from being a salvager, then you should campaign for a nerf to the Noctis, resist a salvage bonus for Marauders and ask CCP to reduce the opportunities for salvaging. |

Lower rig prices are not a bad thing, they grant everyone more options to customize their ship for less cost. T1 rigs are almost, though not quite yet, inexpensive enough to become a consumable item. And Eve needs more consumable items.
Hey, I love low rig prices, especially low T2 rigs.
I just wanted to explain to the OP that what he was asking for would work against his stated goals. |

Or, alternatively, kill missioners
Well yes this would help also. |
