Wreckage lifetime in 5.0

[Falcrack]

When salvage finally becomes a thing, I hope they increase the lifespan of wreckage before it despawns so that salvagers (both NPC owned and player owned) have time to collect the remains.

I don't know about small ships but I have seen wrecks of larger ships and stations stick around on my map for quite some time.

Despawning happens because of inactivity (I think), so (most possibly) if the wreck is undergoing a salvage operation it should not disappear. The more important matter is how long it will take for the salvage operation to finish so the next wreck can be started... This is Egosoft after all...
