Bleh.. its an automatic ejection process that ejects your pod when the reactor goes supercritical.
as far as the mods go, i really dont think the game was designed for modules inside the ship to be the payoff for pirating. always figured pirating was more for the cargo that ships were carrying. after all, the npc form of pirating (merchant ships) you kill for the cargo. npc rats are killed primarily for the bounty, although meta mods do add some value.
just as an idea though, how about a module that suppresses the violence of a reactor explosion.. activate it on a ship thats about to be destroyed and it greatly increses the chance of getting more mods.
And perhaps, all ships, as part of there loot, drop a chunk of ship scrap, and yields a portion, 5-20% randomly, of the mins that were required in its construction. picture a piece of floating debris, i.e. megathron debris or bestower debris, that you can scoop to cargo and then refine at a station. or possibly make it so it needs a new type of mining laser, cutting torch or something, to cut up and put in your cargo bay, as a large enough chunk just wouldnt fit.
tbh, i think that if the ship chunks were to work, they should be big enough that an indy is needed. call it 300m3 for small chunks(frig) 1000 for med(cruisers) and 2000 for large(bs).. miners need haulers to profit, lets see pirates need haulers to profit as well 
and i know that pirates hitting indies DO need indies, if they want the cargo as well as the mods... not sure how much that happens tho.. most of the time those frigs jump in, make the kill, grab the expanders, an run. correct me if im wrong
Then you would have a choice.. it can be a quick hit and fade, and you make a couple mils off mods, or you can risk a bit more time, and have an indy ready to pickup and make double that with the mins you'll get
oh and if lag is an issue, just put em in the cans.. although it would be really neat to see a chunk of a destroyed bs floating where a mighty warship once was.
and as long as the value of the debris was less than the cost of full coverage insurance, insurance scammers wouldnt be a problem, as they would just break even.

You have no reason to disagree with me on this, the only reason WHY you disagree is because you just dont want to have ur stuff looted by the enemy.
thats right. its a battle, and i want you to profit as little as possible. if the only way i can hurt you is in the pocketbook, so be it.
