Only Core should be Contraband not Components

[CMDR_MAXSON]

Considering how often you get Components for ship battles constantly having to stow it away gets really tiresome - also lore wise it makes no sense. Watchtower is a secretive organization so they wouldn't even know what these components even are if they saw them.

Instead I make a fair compromise only the Memory Core should be considered Contraband - as you need to physically attack a base to get it, meaning you will end up with far less of them anyway also you are more likely going to return back to starbase after attacking a base - so two birds one stone.

Agreed. Components getting shoved at you every 5 feet (Because of how frequent you deal with WatchTower) and then to have their most frequent drop be contraband is just awful.

 

[DarkSpiral]

They're contraband because Watchtower has infiltrated the government of both major factions, and has flagged their proprietary tech so that anyone that has it on them has it seized.

That's pretty clearly spelled out.

Also if it bugs you so much, don't pick the stuff up.
