Alter the death_fuse events for the ships you want to drop Weapons. It's super-easy. Just open the FX folder, open Fuses.ini, and check out the very first Fuse- it's the standard death_fuse, which is used by every ship in FL. Then check out the various Fuses in that file- several of them specify that certain Hardpoints will be broken off of the dead ships and converted to Loot, etc., etc.

Ships can have custom death_fuse events, as well. So, for example, you could have Shields blow off of certain ships but not others, make some ships tend to "spin out" when they die more (or less) by altering torque values, etc., etc.

I will have a number of customized death_fuse events in the next version of the XML Toolkit Mod.
