Engineers NPC ships in res sites drop lots of stuff

[Devlin-Darkside]

So I went to a res site in my asp x, only shot stuff that was already being attacked by the local police.

Did fine, got bounties and also the NPC ship wrecks drop stuff that can be picked up. Lots of stuff.

5+ items to scoop up, surely it wont take long to gather stuff for upgrades at that rate?

Some materials are only dropped by some specific kind of ships (haulage vessels, authority and military ships...), some are missions rewards specific and some are found on planet only.
And it's a pain in the backend to scoop all those materials each time.

And then the RNGesus takes them away with no solid roll. Had 4 rolls at level 1 for...hell, I don't even recall what it was...and each roll had such a negative impact on my Power Draw it just wasn't worth it.

I have been heat attacked, impulse attacked, missile barraged, torpedoed with enhanced so many times the universe, for me, is littered with Engineers weapons. So much for rare....

I've been doing it in a Python... fitted with 2 collector drones.. works a charm.

Same with my Corvette, but staying still while your drones work their magic just break my rythm. You can't fight with your cargo scoop open, and my drones get destroyed if I maneuver too hard.
