This X4: Foundations mod adds a flat 30% chance for pilots to bail when shields are below 20% and hull integrity is below 75%. The default bail rate is intended to be between 25-45%, modified by pilot morale and hull/shield damage, but in practice it seems extremely rare. Developer comments suggest they intended pilot morale to decrease as their situation grew more dire, but this wasn't implemented. Combined with the general infrequency of combat in X4, the salvage/pirate playstyle wasn't very viable.
