Anyways, now I see what you are asking for. But that still brings up my point: the rouge drones would jsut eat the salvage of anyone that comes near and doesn't escape, so nothing would get left behind. Therefore, it would make no sense for anything to be left behind. As for Pirates, I see the point of some stuff being left behind, but most of it? no.Any valuables will be stolen, and any large hulls would be taken as well. So just having a area in which there's a bunch of loot makes no sense, as the stuff would be simply taken. Pirates don't kill just to kill; they kill to take the dead people's **** (or sense we're in New Eden, the people, for biomass). I'm fine with going into the district, finding a base, ripping it apart, then salvaging everything that's there, or ambushing a convoy of pirates, or even running into a drone hive, and taking it out. But have a pile of salvage just laying there? lolno.
Well despite what Godin TheDowner has argued, I think there would be a lot of salvageable stuff floating around out there.
- Many many station would have run out of resources, with their entire population starving to death, and the stations preserved in the frozen darkness of space, when the EVE Gate closed.
- System failures, fires, astroid impacts and many other unfortunate events can kill all occupants of a station, outpost, or space ship. Unregistered private operations could easily drop of the grid without any official notice. Even the investors might just right it off if they donGÇÖt want investigators poking around and seeing what the place was really used for.
- Pirates fleeing only with what they can carry when Concord show up unexpectedly, would leave lots of stuff behind, and if they were killed or captured as their ships made a run for it, they would not be able to come back for it later. Concord would only take stuff relevant to their investigation.
- If the Rogue Drones have been there a while, then there might not be much in the way of salvage left, but you can salvage parts off the drones after you kill them. If the Rogue Drones have only just arrived, there might be lots of stuff left.

I fully support this idea. It is nicely contained, and can lead to some really eerie and spooky environments.
It also gives CCP a chance to experiment with battles in station environments in a stand alone environment that does not impact on EVE. Then they can apply what they learn later to taking over POGOGÇÖs and station in EVE.
It would be interesting to have investigative missions where you are tasked to investigate a dead ship or station to try to determine what happened. Find the shipGÇÖs logs, or other clues like bodies, damaged equipment, or marks made by rogue drones, to figure out what happened and submit your report (maybe from a multiple choice form) to get your pay. (Have your pay be dependent on how accurate your findings are.)
