Would it be hard to implement abandoned ships or shipwrecks in space that you could tractor in booty from, ala Freelancer?

Through mods, it's possible. Currently, abandonded/hidden containers are essentially the exploitable 'shipwrecks' in the game. If you wanted to add a shipwreck to the game, you would place a scenery object of the ship in one of the scenery slots for the sector you want it in, then place a container with the material you want to recover from the ship inside the hull, it then becomes a wreck you can recover material from.
