Lonestar Antares Caldari Science and Trade Institute	Posted - 2010.06.02 13:40:00 - [1] I just did an angels extravaganza lvl3 in a drake with a slot devoted to a salvager and I had to fly back 5 times with full cargoholds of modules. Sure....only 1 out of 4 npcs dropped crappy t1 unnamed loot but man....when they dropped, they each dropped like 6-7 items! HOHOHO Its like Christmas in here! I hope they "nerf" the loot some more. Pretty soon, I'll need to run these missions in an industrial!

Gunnanmon Gallente The Scope	Posted - 2010.06.02 14:01:00 - [3] You have to make the tags, from bits of Scrap Metal. Signature locked for discussing moderation. Navigator

Bolded the important bit. Only BS meta0 mods got removed, and you won't get many BS wrecks in a level 3. Meh, I got trolled.

I got 5 tags....azure? Not too shabby. I got utterly lit up on the bonus room so I made myself scarce so I dont know what the BS's would have dropped. I didnt realize only BS loot got nerfed. Whats the point in that? Oh well. The non BS loot most definately didnt get nerfed

This is true, but I've been nabbing BC wrecks now when they have loot in them...I'm not sure if it's just me noticing the extremes of normal variability, but the BCs have been looking like overstuffed pinatas to me. Every mission there's one or two with 6-8 items in the wreck.

Every mission there's one or two with 6-8 items in the wreck. See? I'm not trolling. Ever since the patch, I've noticed quite a few "monty haul" npc wrecks. Honestly, I do not recall a single useful or named item in the entire truckload of stuff I picked up but there sure is lots of it. I found it ironic because they were trying to help the miners by nerfing loot and instead my loot has blossomed. The EXTREME irony is this was done to reduce reprocessed ores from missioners and since I could see that everything was utterly useless, I started reprocessing for the first time!

The EXTREME irony is this was done to reduce reprocessed ores from missioners and since I could see that everything was utterly useless, I started reprocessing for the first time! Though I can say I experienced what you're talking about a bit, I think you're missing the overall picture. Regardless of how many modules a cruiser drops, the mineral value is insignificant compared to the amount of minerals from BS Meta 0 modules before the patch. It's seriously a drop in the bucket. An 800mm T1 AC refines for six to seven times the mineral value of a 425mm AC. Even if the drop rate of cruiser modules doubled, it would still result in a massive net reduction of loot refined minerals on the market. Since you're running L3s it looks like a party to you. But all you have to do is scan the thread titles in this forum to see that the party is not quite what it used to be once you hit L4s...
GavinCapacitor	Posted - 2010.06.02 20:02:00 - [10] First of all congrats to the OP on the excellent troll. 8/10 I will bite anyway - couple things: - as has been said before, the nerf to loot drops won't affect lvl 3 missions very much. - unnamed t1 mods reprocess for alot more mats than meta 1-4. A 'tachyon beam laser I' used to sell (before the insurance change) at about 1m isk. meta 1 was worthless in comparison. - '6-7 items!' doesnt really matter if they are all almost completely worthless (for some reason the meta 1 tracking disruptor comes to mind).

Lonestar Antares Caldari Science and Trade Institute	Posted - 2010.06.04 13:59:00 - [11] Now is see.....I just did the infamous "search party 2 of 2" mission for a buddy running lvl 1 distro missions (LOL!! He got wasted when he first warped in, thinking it was a lvl 1 storyline) and all the battleships were dropping scrap metal and maybe 1 t1 module at best. Its kind of stupid that cruisers are dropping real loot in bushels and now battleships are dropping next to nothing. I mean.....flip it. I'd rather get next to nothing in lvl 3's and get a due reward for my work in a higher level mission. I have seen the light on the loot nerf.
Lonestar Antares Caldari Science and Trade Institute	Posted - 2010.06.04 20:18:00 - [12] Whats with the scrap metal?? Its like a slap in the face. Just have the darn BS wrecks be empty. I dont want to fly 30 km across the map to a nonempty wreck to find 1000 isk junk. Leave that for the lvl1 frig wrecks.

Unfortunately, that reward was really screwing with the mineral market. That's why they nerfed the crap out of BS Meta 0 modules, and though I'm a huge mission runner, I think it was the right way to go. Originally by: Lonestar Antares Whats with the scrap metal??

I agree, it is a total slap in the face. But the reason CCP gave was that the loot tables need something in the place of the old module in order to function properly. Their solution? Put in the crappiest loot to be found.
KhneD	Posted - 2010.06.05 00:35:00 - [14] har har i got faction drop today in a worlds collide :D
