When I kill an enemy ship of unknown type, I can grab a blackbox which enables me to build that ship type myself.
Do only the ships I kill drop blackboxes? Or can I get my hands on a blueprint of an allied ship by luring enemies near it and letting them destroy it in my stead, thus preserving our diplomatic relationship?
Get blackboxes from ships I didn’t destroy

Today I found that yes, you can do it. When warring factions destroyed each other, I was able to pick up leftover blackboxes.
