There is not enough enemies to grind weapon/module drops effectively.
OS being the only source of those and being absolutely garbage is really not helping either, especially for a PvP person such as myself.
I really wish there would be some alternative to looking for the fun parts in the worst part of the game.
open space should have dedicated drops.
killing inerceptor pirates give you interceptor modules/ammunition
killing frigate pirates give you frigate modules/ammunition
since there is no destroyer pirates in open space,this should change,we would need battle NPC destroyers to get modules for them
current drop rate per pirate is somewhat between 1-5 and 5-10 so you get module drop evry 5-10 pirate
