1. What are the *.sig files?
2. Should we extract them or don't bother?

Re: [MOD][HELP] What are the *.sig files?
I'm not 100% in the know on how these work but I will try to answer.
The .sig files replace what we had in X3 where some signed files had a <signature> tag. This is to check whether a game files has been modified. I don't think there is any reason to mess with them.

Come watch me on Twitch where I occasionally play several of the X games

Re: [MOD][HELP] What are the *.sig files?
The private and the first public key (8192 RSA bits) from exe are used to sign save files. The second public key is used to verify file signatures from archives (with SHA512 digest).
So we can independently edit (cheat) and sign saves, but only developers have a private key for signing game resources.
