Recent patch changes has made it so that any loot not inside a wreck will always be parsed into separate jetcans if their total mass exceeds a single can's 27500 m3 capacity. It seems this has led to the unfortunate consequence that any object exceeding this size, such as packaged battleships and all unpackaged ships larger than frigates, can no longer drop as loot since they will not fit inside a jetcan. If a freighter wreck is salvaged, all such large objects disappear. Worse, since Ship Maintenance Arrays do not leave a wreck and no longer eject ships into space, this means they now never drop anything larger than frigates when destroyed.
Our corp's admittedly limited testing on the test server suggests it's even worse, that SMAs are not dropping anything when destroyed. This might be due to ships no longer being ejectable from cargo or unpackaged ones not being valid objects inside cans, but whatever the case, it seems to explain the recent spat of empty wormhole SMAs and the disappearance of the famed loot pinata. I'd appreciate others to independently verify our results, and if need be, raise CCP's awareness of the issue as soon as possible. |

110% this. Also, once CCP has this nipped they should look into adding ammo fired at pos mods as part of the drop. If the thing in my gun is called a Javelin then it damn well better be recoverable like one! |

The changes mean its not possible to loot lets say a Rokh if you destroy a hanger in a W.H? well logically you shouldnt be able to loot any ship if you blow up the building it is within!
Looting intact spaceships from a hangar makes a lot more sense than looting intact modules from a spaceship with exploding fusion reactors. |

Hint hint. A problemt that goes unannounced and unfixed for 8 months doesn't tend to engender much of either. CCP should know by now how much the players hate information blackouts, and how much worse it can make the company look because we're only left with one side of the story. The E-Uni donation fiasco was a case in point. Even though CCP was in the right, by rigidly holding to their non disclosure policy until the whole thing exploded, they left an issue that could have easily been nipped in the bud fester into a pitchfork mob.
If CCP had been upfront about the issue and the difficulty of fixing it, many of us would have been willing to show patience and understanding. Instead they gave the impression, true or not, that they were trying to sweep it under the rug because they didn't care. Now the unreasonably impatient types are still whining anyway, and the rest of us are also angry. PR fail. |
