Nope all you need to do is change the lootable = false to true and add that weapon or equipment to lootprops.ini and your good to go.

If you would like to do this, you can also add a commodity in the loadouts for nomad ships.
I added this to all the nomad loadouts:
cargo = commodity_alien_artifacts, 1

(I didn't make them any easier to kill though, but rather made them a little
tougher by increasing the refire rate of their guns and changed the weapon loadout of the lvl 19 fighters to include a Nomad Cruise Disruptor)
Nice payoff if you survive.

hey thanks alot guys now i have dust off my mod i put it in the closet and we can get that nomad loot much appreciated.
