Salvager is now a Gunboat

[Xoria]

Apparently some people with Salvagers thought they could pirate with it, get destroyed, and immediately return to the same system and continue pirating because it was a transport and thus exempt from the death rule.
Hoodlum's statement is imprecise at best.
Conducting piracy in any ship makes you subject to the pvp, death, fleeing, and re-engagement rules, the Salvager is no exception, and if it is being used in piracy instead of trading then it should be treated like it was a gunboat and follow all of the pvp rules.
If it is trading, then it is a transport.
So any changes to the ship as a result of rules changes are unnecessary, because the rules have not changed, they have just been clarified.
