I don’t see why anyone in either game would give a shit about the other. Why would I give you your ship parts back? I’ll just sell it at the market rate. You could offer me the market rate but why even bother contacting me for it when the market has them for the market rate already.
Sure it puts the games clearly in the same universe with a shared market. But its just joining 2 spreadsheets together.
Now if the arrangement was sharing the salvage and still living EVE ships can provide fire support to a team getting salvage that could be more of an actual integration between games that matters. Even a small ship in EVE has a bunch of 200mm autocannons with the larger ships going up to a couple metre wide shells.
FPS players could be given some kind of anti ship weapon installation to fight for as their method of fighting back too. Electronic warfare or some torpedo launchers should do the trick - which would look like an ICBM silo to anyone on the ground near it.

I guess it might be interesting for orgs (I’m not sure that’s how those are named in EVE lingo). Instead of just gathering ISK to fuel your war, an org could also have a Vanguard branch that would focus on reclaiming parts of the fallen ships in order to lower the costs of running a war

They had cross game interactions with Dust 514 and it didn’t amount too much. For most fights the value of the dropped modules is going to be so insignificant as to not really matter as you’d likely get a better return on your time doing sites or mining. Unless they’re talking higher rates of T2 salvage but unless they remove that from sites then it’ll just crash the market.
My hope is they don’t introduce some new components that are needed for current production that are tied to Vanguard loot like they did for planetary interactions.

Opportunity cost. Better to get the most valuable stuff you can rather than something just because it was one of yours.
EVE is peak capitalism and warfare. Best represented by the Caldari state - which is a nation of mega corporations.

I mean, I would expect such reclaimed stuff to be cheaper. Or the seller to be able to set the price, which in orgs could be defined from the top (peak capitalism)

Why sell to an orgs defined price if it’s worse for me than the open market?
If the price is better then I will just buy shitloads of it from the open market and sell it to them without having to work for it in the first place.
