Sorry, you are wrong, the only places you may get the chance to get blown up are the waypoints in DWE2 and as you may notice, that's predictable, hence, one can prepare for it without modifying your build to deal with some annoying mosquitoes.
No I am not wrong... I have seen stuff you can't even imagine in this game, trust me when I say you will wish you had actual defenses if you ever see it. not only that you have no idea what type of player you may run into out in the black, people go crazy you know.
IIRC some modules were made available in outfitting at the detention centre.
Having been to a few detention ship there is nothing there, when we get sent to a detention ship with a 2A FSD we have to ship our good one and wait, we did the crime now we have to do the time.
