Recpnstruct destroyed ships?

[Vuka616]

Was wondering if it would be at all possible to make a mod to have a ship, maybe a modified construction vessel, that can go in and begin rebuilding destroyed ships?

Maybe it would deploy similar to constructing the station then with construction drones and resources needed (either gathered before or after on a budget similar to how the stations can be built).

Of course this would also have to stop the de-spawn timer for the destroyed ship (assuming there is one.

Would be awesome to go into a area that a battle had ended in and rebuild a destroyed ship for a a fraction of the cost (course I wouldn't expect the re built ship to be at 100% hull since it was re built outside of a shipyard)

as long as the wreck is there an object can be restored, but wares, npcs, drones etc. inside are lost forever.

I've edited the save to resurrect a number of wrecked ships but not done it as a mod. I did it originally after seeing ships that had bailed or ships I'd captured getting destroyed by so-called friendlies plus coming across wrecked ships that had possible scrap value or resurrection potential. I've got fairly adept at the save-game editing though and learnt quite a bit in the process. I've done various permutations from leaving most of the ship wrecked so an engineer has to do more of the work to get it operational, fully repairing the ship, setting ownership to "ownerless" or "player", to other variations on the theme.

I can help out if someone is willing to take on the mod for resurrecting wrecked ships as I think this mod is a bit beyond me at this stage. The only mod I've made myself so far is to increase the speed of the skunk to 400 for the type of mk5 engine I'm using.

Edit: Added a bit more.
