SirEmi,
Not sure if I missed this in another post, but do you have a chance of getting rare modules regardless of whether you loot attack or destroy attack? Or do you have to do one or the other to potentially find one?
Well the thing is if you destroy the station, you get a chance of about 20% to loot each resource / module because you search the destroyed station cargo bay wreck, but if you loot attack you get 100% chance.
So if you attack to destroy, you may actually destroy the rare module if there is one in the station cargo bay...
So it's better to attack to loot, then destroy.
