The best thing IMO that could be done for salvage or looting would be to continue the strongbox/key distribution rewards but add an actual "looting" mechanic as an active gameplay element.
This would be best and most simply done by adding a hacking option for enemy equipment on the field, ie instead of detroying tue equipment by melee holding circle when prompted would allow the link/hive/pe/re to be hacked and stowed away in the players inventory. BW kinda screws the idea of hacking and then leaving blue and active but maybe later that sort of thing could be integrated.
The looting of biomassed dead enemies would be similiar, after they're dropped and before the body expires a quick "hack" (loot) could be performed that generates, say 2 out of the 7 mods/weapons/equipment the dead player was using. (the numbers are arbitrary, just used for the example. The point is to ACTIVELY salvage the corpse and receive some parts of the fit tho not all of it. )
This, like this, would be far more fun than random salvage being assigned to inventories as well as adding a real spur-of-the-moment decision to be made insofar as risking spending precious seconds of a firefight looting corpses instead of pursuing other events. As well as more rewarding since the loot would draw directly off not just what gear enters the battle but also what gear is destroyed in such a way to be looted at all.

Agreed, if there's an addition game-wise to be made it should be a full , new addition not just another layer of hoopjumping for the same thing we have now. Such extra hoops add neither worthwhile content nor worthwhile gameplay.
