New Salvage Interface/System, suggestion!

I was not sure on where to post suggestions, so I just posted it here! Sorry if it's in the wrong place.

I actually have this idea from someone else, I read it in a post on the forums ages ago.. But no one ever made it a real suggestion and I don't remember who wrote it.

Currently the only way to salvage is to right click on every single piece of equipment and clicking "salvage" and then confirm. This can be very tiresome in the long run...

The suggestion is that the idea should be identical to the system we have for contributing NPC's to fleet projects etc. To be sure, there can be a warning dialoge box asking you if you are sure you want to salvage the equipment.

Of course only salvageable equipment should show up in the list, stuff that is protected should of course not.

I made a few edited (please don't judge my Microsoft Paint skills) screenshots to show the idea of how the salvage system should look, so it would be really easy to use.

What are your thoughts?

    Can we please get this into the game like.. yesterday?


    Seriously, something like this would be a huge QOL improvement. I support this idea 100%.
    Insert witty signature line here.

    It's been suggested since salvaging became a thing that we had sort sort of way to do stuff in bulk either by an additional replicator tab or along the lines you suggest here.

    Not having something that should have been a basic feature when it came out just shows how little thought is put into how things actually work for players unless it involves zen or dilithium.

    You can avoid the confirm after every click by holding down your ctrl button as you salvage.

    But I like this idea too.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    I agree 100%. I would amend the second screenshot, the right hand part, it would say this: "For this equipment you will earn" and then the number of the salvage. The current form sounds too redundant. Otherwise, I agree with this quality of life update.

    Sad this never got any proper feedback.
