Or just the sniper rifles, at least.
People have the extra-special TAR-17 or whatever the name is and just sit in the hills, never dying with it. If they will never lose it, then it's value becomes obsolete, even I have about 10 or 15 of these rifles just because they are such common loot.
Basically if it's going to be the best rifle you can get, make it hard to get in the first place. |

+1 for the rarity,
although everyone's have to live with officer items around - those really wanting to use them WILL get 'em as soon as items start moving... |

The Thale sniper is annoying as f***. I've dedicated whole matches to finding the sniper and killing them. |

The only officer weapons I have gotten from codex and chromosome are ten wolfman pistols. I want the HMG. |

Over the last two builds I've recieved exactly 10 Thales total. No other officer gear whatsoever.
I've only used it once because of the rarity. I'm sure the people in that match hated it too... |

Doesn't matter to me as I don't use officer guns (HAV pilot). BTW, Logi Bro, why do you like the taste of my shotgun? |

I've played three characters consistently for two builds and counting, I'm not sure if I've gotten a single Thale, or the HMG for that matter but I've been in matches with people who got them. I've also been in matches where I got 5 grenades as salvage while my squad mate (who came in below me in War Points) got three different kinds of salvage.
Point being the salvage awards system is, in my experience, quite random and thus I'd say functioning properly.
0.02 ISK
Cross
EDIT: That being said I wouldn't mind if all salvage was a touch more rare across the boards or even better in my opinion, if the team roster for the map highlighted anyone who was using proto or better gear of any kind. They are after all priority targets, taking them out provides higher rewards both in ISK and tactically and right now only the killfeed provides any indication (aside from a direct visual on black dropsuits). I think things would even out (i.e. officer gear wouldn't last as long) if it came with a "shoot me" sign attached when used 
If there's a real objection to this idea it could always be tied to use of active sensors once they're fixed and back in the game. That'd give extra reason to run them and provide a value to your whole team. |
