Megaship Piracy - loot Suggestions

Hello, everyone.

On Thursday's stream, the ability to steal cargo from megaships was unveiled. I love the concept, but if the cargo contained in the holds of those cargo bays is final, it won't really be worth anything, unless you fly the Sidewinder. What if megaships in certain areas carried specific cargoes?

For example, the Indra, in the Pleiades Nebula. It could carry meta-alloys, say, 2-3 per cargo bay. Perhaps it might be carrying a thargoid component, or some other thargoid-related cargo. Megaships in refinery/extraction systems could have a high chance to be carrying gold, platinum, painite, even hafnium. High quality metals. Megaships in High-tech systems could carry advanced medicines, progenitor cells, performance enhancers. You get where I'm going with this.

EDIT: I'd like to piggyback a question off of this post. Is there a way to find megaships besides happening across them?

The loot drops from mega ships should probably also take into account the type of mega ship.

It doesn't make a lot of sense to have an agriculture mega ship drop nothing but rare metals because it is in a refinery system. It should probably drop some kind of food product and/or agricultural machinery.
