Piracy

Again I tried to search, and found a lot of interresting stuff that I wasn't looking for, but not an answer to my question (sorry).

In the original Privateer I earned a lot of my money from piracy (arrrr... shivver me timbehs), and apart from everyone but my fellow pirates and the cats trying to fleece me, I quite enjoyed being a pirate.

However, after my first couple of merchant-murders in the remake, It seems that whatever commodity they drop, they only drop one of it? That barely covers the repairs on my ship.... Is there a way to change this?

I thought I read somewhere that drops were determined by the cargo value in units.csv (open in spreadsheet, e.g. OpenOffice). However, all the values are blank.
 
I think what you might try doing is beating them to a pulp and not killing them, but instead let them flee and drop their (undamaged, intact) cargo one box at a time. When they stop, if you really want blood on your hands you can kill them and pick up whatever drops.
