This is an awesome idea. I agree that the percentage should be low for the higher credit components. This has been implemented in another mod. It seemed to work out rather well.
Make Cap 8 lootable there.
Watch everybody fight over the scrap fields. Priceless.
Idea is excellent and I support it. Careful with the guns and stuff otherwise everybody will be out there and it will lead to more Q_Q as some will be shot by pirates and similar 2gunsordai lulzers.
Just imagine:
Starflier noob goes in to scrap field. he has no hope. Everybody have big goonz he must stay in starflea. He shot piece of junk and what: CAU8!
I would like to know the feasibility of this idea. Would it be possible to alternate the loot of certain fields? Judging from the style of coding in the asteroid belts, it looks like only one item could drop at a time.

Love this idea. While currently, ma junker happily mines scrap, it would be saweet having a variety of different drops, sorting through 'em and sending multiple convoys on different routes from the scrap site.
Cap armour drops? Having 3, 4 and 5 drop rarely would be neat . . the higher ones might be a bit much however

Starflier noob goes in to scrap field. he has no hope. Everybody have big goonz he must stay in starflea. He shot piece of junk and what: CAU8!
Hell yeah!

Said newb then realizes his Starflier doesn't have a large enough hold for the Cap 8.
This idea epic/awesome/all other synonyms for extremely cool. Gauss wants.
