for boomer it could be loosing a battle with someone with less cargo than you
I'm sorry, but i can't not point out how easy this would be, especially in the early game
*unless you specify it to the endless mode. But you could still get an enemy ship with lots of plated cargo and splash damage
Yup, I'm more thinking of them being something you get a reward for succeeding in a task too. Not some consolation price... But it's not out of the question that some of these could be such also.
For something like a reward it could be something like defeat an enemy that has twice as much cargo than you
