When jettisoning cargo;
Let it be jettisoned in a cargo pod with a set lifespan (moddable) so that it can be picked up later.
So a cargo pod can contain anything and all that is in the cargo room of the ship.
So if you see a cargo pod and go after it, it might be 10 pop or 80 fighters, 2 WP and some troops...
Add this with a scenario editor and you can mod away certein items in the game that needs to be found drifting in space.

Edit:
And how about boobytrapping a cargo pod? If mines are jettisoned the cargo pod they are in becomes a trap, when salvaged all mines explode at the same time (jettison 400 mines in one pod!!)

It should require some action to salvage, not just passing by, but pressing a "jettison/salvage" button. So you can't boobytrap a wormhole!
