1) how come CSC's barely drop armor anymore? Of all 12 dead CSC's I've seen (10 I killed in a godmod test), and only 2 of them had armor on the wrecks; and it was 5 segments total (4 damaged, one intact). That's WAY less then before.
2) how come P1300 hexphase is named for it's lowest positive (thermo) resistance when it has 6500 particle/blast resistance and 1696 ion resistances as well which are clearly better resistances?

Armor seems to be a much less common drop all around. I can't get much off the missileships in Charon anymore, nor the frigates in the systems before. Nor anything else for that matter.

I guess George decided it was too easy to get money and armor that way :P
My first mod, mostly done, still balance testing.
