Summary	0018600: Some Tiny Transport Drops are pretty ridiculous.
Description	The Tiny Transport seems reasonable enough (though perhaps a bit common) when it drops a credit each time. Dropping 5 or 6 missiles or (much worse), 5 health shards (I just had this happen) seems pretty ridiculous, though, given the scarcity of those items. I suggest either removing some of the more powerful possibilities (such as health shards) or making it so that it rolls what the drop is each time it's hit rather than rolling once and dropping a bunch of copies of that. The latter would at least mean you'd only get one or two health shards from one. To be honest, they seem problematic anyway because they've seriously ramped up the drop rate of mundane drops, which didn't really need it.

Either that or I can limited the drops to per 1 second rather than every 0.5 seconds, halving the payout. Yeah, they're supposed to be a bit of a beacon of light to the player and allow for a little bit of a maximizing the drops minigame.
