📋 About This Mod
Description
This mod makes pirate frigates drop stuff upon destruction. If you didn't know these can be destroyed, now you do. The rewarded items are taken from pirate station's mission board loot pool.
To keep thing somehow balanced, destroying a pirate frigate will result in reduced standing in Outlaw faction.
