Following situation:

You have a cool ship with cool weapons on wings/turrets.
You are low on cash & your cargo hold is empty or full of junk.
You get jumped/attacked and in the process lose a wing/turret. With your cool weapon ofcourse.

Then don't dock, otherwise the repair just adds the wing and the weapon is lost forever.
Just DIE, fly into a planet, play tag with a star, do anything you want, but just die.

At respawn your wing/turret and the associated weapon(s) are back, but you have lost your cargo obviously.
