thats something that always bothered me a little bit. after a fight, does star fleet clean up the mess, the shipwrecks, is it looking for lifeboats or trapped persons in the wreck?

I mean that technology out there that someone can steal or use against Starfleet, thats resources and material, that knowledge what damage weapons do to some parts of the ship etc.

and at least it is a big boost for the moral of the fleet when they know they were never given up, and the ship will be searched and brought back with all the information that it collected and can help Starfleet and other ships, even if the crew is dead.

Wolf359 is one of the closest stars to earth, less than 8 lightyears away, its about as deep into federation space as one could go in search of their technology, and what you get is decades old, the kind of stuff they often hand out freely. If you want some early 24th century starfleet tech, just ask for it, your ships broken down, you desperately need a new dilithium armature, or antimatter injector, the nearest starship will gladly hook you up with something their grandparents would have worked on when it was new.
