====================
Type: Effects / Equipment / Commodity
Bug: Non vanilla ships (GBs and above) not dropping ammo and regens after dying
====================

I have noticed that certain ships (which were all caps) dont drop any cargo or ammunition when killed. I have tried suiciding my caps into the sun or the planet and I have noticed they keep their ammunition and regens in their hold after respawning, while the cargo and any unmounted equipment disappears. It doesnt drop in space, it just disappears, I have tried with it with other players close to me.

However, it only happens with ships that are Gunboats and above AND had their explosion sequence removed (in last patch I believe), while with Vanilla caps (they still have their explosion sequence left, but they dont fall appart in pieces anymore) it doesnt. Any ammo and cargo Vanilla ships have onboard gets dropped in space after they die, as it should.
So, basically, any ship that is GB or above and instantly explodes after losing all their HP and above gets to keep their ammunition and regens after respawning.

I have tested it with several ships.

Vanilla ships (they drop everything when killed):
Osiris, Bretonia Battleship, Rheinland Gunboat

Non vanilla ships (they instantly explode and dont drop anything, and also keep any regens and ammo after respawning):
Legate, Murmillo, Corvo, Tridente

I have tried a few transports (Albatross, IMG Battletransport, Kusari Train) and a Passenger Liner, and all of them drop both cargo and ammo/regens, as they should, so pretty sure it doesnt affect transport class, only non-Vanilla GBs and larger. I didnt come across any exceptions yet.

This might need some more testing, but so far this is the data I have gathered.
