* Remember you can also bookmark mission locations, allowing you to hand in the mission and return to the wrecks, especially if your running low on time for bonus reward. This means you'll also beable to use a microwarpdrive - which, may save time. If ur salvaging a level 4 when stuff is very far apart i.e. over 30-40+km then mwd is good idea. For anything less, u might find yourself overshooting ur targets, as the mwd cycle has to complete (higher ur skill, makes this worse!^^). Make sure u bookmark every room in the mission if u wanna do it this way, as warpgates vanish when u hand in the mission.

* While you are salvaging with some tractor beams, you can drag the wrecks behind you and salvage them at the same time while you travel towards another wreck that's outside tractor beam range. This speeds up salvage time somewhat.

* Use your tactical overview (left side of the HUD) to plot an efficient course through the wreck field rather than just moving to the closest wreck.

* If you are in a large wreck field you can jettison a can (rclick on an object in your cargo hold and jettison) and use a tractor beam to haul it behind you. You can dump the loot into the can as you go. When done, bookmark the can's location and come back in a hauler to get it all.
