I think that they should bring back pilot drops when you kill npcs.You could make lots of money by selling pilots for lots of money.I also think that they should bring back weapons drops so we can make lots of money selling weapons.
You can get pilot drops doing missions. So far, the only drops are made in Tohoku, when you hunt Wild (labeled as Unknown) vessels. In fact they are going to bring back both Creds drops and Pilot drops in the next version of the mod.
