Weapons?

I have read that the parts of ships (eg. weapons) are retrivable after you destory an enemey ship. This been said, if you are in a group with other computer charactors like if you are near a planet or space station, will the computer charactors pick up the cargo and weapons of the destoryed ship or are those weapons just waiting for a human charactor to come along and pick things up?

ps. sorry if this has already been asked.

Only human players can tractor in goods.

Um, EB....when you jettison cargo because some policewoman told you to do it, it's doesn't vanish into thin air. She'll tractor beam that contraband in and then give you a kiss goodbye.

At least that's what I've seen.

NPCs can tractor goods like Stinger has shown but if they did it just out of the blue, like after you kill someone, it would be a sure fire way to get your hull filled with holes so it's probably the universal "ettiquete" to not tractor another man's loot

Little question about weapons from me
Dont wanna make a new thread so Im hijacking this one.

Situation:
You have a Humpback with 2 guns and 6 turrets.
When you buy another ship you keep your weapons right ?
If I would buy a Titan I could only hold 1 turret (and 6 guns).
What happens to the other 5 turrets ?

Quick Q about the process of being scanned. My impression so far is that you could drop your cargo as requested, then immediately retrieve it and do a runner before they ask you to drop it again ?

Doesn't make sense.

I had questions about this too, Peet. This is how it works. When you buy a new ship all the goodies that were on your old ship that can get mounted on the new ship get mounted. The goodies that can't get mounted go into your hold then you can sell them or hang on to them.
