Definitely worth picking up Salvage!

I've only ever found stuff that wasn't flagged as "illegal" when it was part of a mission.
It does seem strange that you can't rescue people in escape pods and get some sort of reward for returning them to safety.

I'd happily return them for no money just rep with the associated government/faction.

Yes, same, it just seems wrong to leave fellow spacers to their fates like that.

For now I just RP that I'm selling the pods and not the people. They are listed as "occupied escape pods" when selling them on the BM (since they were still illegal salvage). IIRC, they were listed as Slaves in previous versions, so this is an improvement anyway.

Maybe in the future when we have crew on larger ships, FD will allow us to offer crew jobs to people we rescue.

They don't say what they are "Occupied" with. I like to pretend they are filled with Puppies. Cute Fluffy Puppies like in the toilet paper commercials. So I am rescuing Puppies. And its "Blacks" Market which specializes in finding homes for Wayward Puppies.

At least that is the sort of shit my brain comes up with late at night after a few drinks. Its funny, but beer and Scotch means puppies. Jaegermeister and they are cats. So I shoot them.
