I'm checking into the concerns about the wreck icons and passing along them on to the Devs. As soon as I have a response, I'll post an update.

We are discussing a system to show whether a wreck contains a lootable item/can be salvaged, does not contain a lootable item/can be salvaged and does not contain a lootable item/cannot be salvaged (the wreck disappears). Unfortunately, we cannot include such a change in tomorrow's patch and ask for the community's patience until we can add such a system in the very near future.

Regarding wrecks and loot/no loot icons, the information that I have been given says the system is more complex than a simple database call on whether the wreck has loot or not and applying the appropriate icon, although it may seem to be that easy on the surface. This is similar to the request to change the color of a BPo and BPc, the code does not lend itself to a change of this sort easily.
The issue has been discussed and something closer to the old loot can/no loot can will be added after tomorrow's patch.

I don't see anything in the Patch notes about Salvaging Skill pre-reqs reducing to 3/3
x
E
In the text under the Skills heading in the Patch Notes:
The Salvaging skill requirements have been lowered to Mechanic level 3 and Survey level 3.
That was in the Notes published on Friday.
