With the requirements mentioned above, I would change to impulse engine to combustion engine because that's what the recyclers use.

I said a better engine[Impulse]because this is intended to be a BETTER class of ship.

Another good point, but if that's the case you might as well beef it up with the Hyperspace Drive.

True to me as long as it is at least impulse

I like this idea, what with the bigger cargo, we should really have a bigger rec, I mean, drastically bigger, like 250k capacity or something.

Salvager

As the empires grew and larger and larger fleets would clash, the fields of debris produced by this battle became such that even the largest empires struggled to take the scrap before competitors arrived. As such, scientists worked for years, and on the brink of a new understanding of physics, a new ships was born into production. The Salvager is a behemoth vessel, with much more advanced shielding technology than it's predecessor, it is able to withstand the radiation and unstable deuterium plasma found in debris fields for a much longer length of time.

Like the idea.

Why is it having zorg physics but at the same time combustion tech?

Why not? All ships need an engine tied to them, Zorg Physics isn't an engine.

I remember zorg physics being a high level advanced tech thing...and combustion engine just seems sort of primitive on this new ship class.
