Consequence of combat pros and cons

I could not find this anywhere so here goes[haha]
Combat should have consequences on materials, minerals and data the players have scrounged for, let me explain.

If a player losses a battle the mats and minerals he or she stored should be floating about for the victor to gather up.:x
Of course some of these stored bits will be destroyed in the destruction but the mechanics could provide for randomization so you could scan for the collected data and pick up MATs left behind by the vanquished.[where is it]
Lower ranked NPC could be set for mechanics for low grade MATs etc...so you could predict without knowing what you could collect if victorious and lend that unknown "what if I fail" to the encounter if you Jack another player and stand to start from scratch[woah]

I have all the make believe cash and boats I could hope for but this die and appear at a station with everything still intact just is an odd mechanic of the game in my humble opinion.[big grin]
Have a great weekend gang!

Yes, so on top of losing months of work, 100's of millions of credit in exploration data, you now want me to lose 100 polonium, germanium, vanadium etc that I have spent ages gathering so I can jump to stars outside of normal range by giving the gankers even more incentive to destroy defenceless explorers coming back from the deep black. Honestly, did you even think about this before posting it, all it does is encourage PvP'ers to attack more PvE'ers, specially the more defenceless ones like explorers, no rep for you!
