Hi Guys
I've been killing a number of different faction NPC rat types for a while now and I have come to the conclusion that the Arch Angel Rats drop useless loot more often than any other rats in the game.
You can just look on escrow and you can see the amount of named items coming from various other rats such has Sansha and Gurista, but not many from Arch Angels (Domination)
Look even closer and you can see it's the same people in the same areas getting all the good gear in the game.
I travel in Xetic space and see Arch Angel Warlords, Generals and Commanders. Maybe I might come across a Nephilem. I have killed countless NPC Battleship spawns only to find generic stuff that can be used on frigates.
If I travel in Stain territory and shoot down Sansha Warlords etc, I get far better rat loot than in Xetic space. A lot of my friends also agree this is the case as well. Also the NPC's are bigger.
CCP, you expect more players to come out to 0.0 space by releasing new features in Eve Exodus but you don't offer any benefits.
If you think the NPC faction rats are unbalanced in size and what they drop as loot, then let CCP know here.

Well over the holidays I joined SE and went on a massive Sansha killing spree. I made around 400 million in bounties alone, thats a shipload of ships, and the best loot I got was a couple of Diminishing NOS and a Large Vestment reconstructor.
I did get 37 named large lasers, probably around another 250 million worth but nothing fantastic like modulated tacyons or whatever and not a single named spawn apart from 2 500k true Sansha, and 2 npc mining ops which dropped about 5 million in trit and pye.
I was killing 750k Lords, 1 mil overlords and 1.5 mil Tyrants, never saw a bigger spawn then that in the whole time I was there.
So its not all fantastic in Sanshaville either.

the loot table was screwed but seems to be fixed, some days u get good lots and on others u just get standard stuff.
problem with angels is that they are a little harder then the rest, with missile spamming and all, 4 110K rats can do the same amount of dmg equal to 1 bs rat in less time.
and up until now all i ever found on a regular basis was seraphims. there is only 1 system that i keep finding it and it never changes. sometimes theydrop the standard stuff, and sometimes an arbalest siege/c5l-xl stuff in 1 can :D.
thats when u get a little happy and realise the hunting was worth it. for a few days then u go back to hunt was crap today  .

Zefran, i was in Curse space for quite some time. It is all about the location. Look around and you will find good stuff.

Arch angles are also the toughest NPCs in game hands down.

I don't have problems killing them. My problem is that a Arch angel commander or Warlord will drop...
1mn Afterburner
Medium shield transfer
450mm autocannon
Heavy Rocket launcher
100 Large Fusion rounds
Hardly exciting stuff. I got members travelling 33 jumps for
1600mm Plating
Large Armour Repairer
Barton Capacitor
Xray L
Tachyon Beam Laser
Now that is way better loot in my opinion.
I even did 3 levels of a Arch Angel Complex (rated 8/10) to receive nothing but a 6th tier overseers container.
I enjoy a good fight with the Arch Angels. I just want to be rewarded for my effort.

Oh, I dunno, Angels drop pretty nice loot. Last weekend I picked up two Eutectic Cap Rechargers and an Arbalest Cruise from warlords, so don't discount Angels so fast. ;)

I've hunted both angels and gurista as well as some serpentis of late and would agree that the loot tables are pretty balanced. Angels give decent enough loot tbh, altho armor loot is just mroe wanted now then shield stuff angels and gurista tend to drop alot.
As for being harder, they are hardest to tank yes, tho they are reasonably easy to kill. The damage types do make them the hardest imo, but not by a large margin really.
Anyway, the only current weird things with loot and spawns seem to be the angel complexes and complexes in general.
I know with about 99% certainty that there are only 6/10 gurista complexes and nothing higher ANYWHERE. The only region remaining unconfirmed is geminate, but the info i do have places no higher complexes there either.
How come ? After all, there are TWO serpentis 10/10 complexes, and well as at least one angel one and more angel complexes in the 7/10-10/10 range. Did CCP only release part of the planned complexes because they hadnt time to finish them all ? Would gurista 10/10 cvreate too much lag with all the missile spammage maybe ?
Oh, and what is up with all the Gistii loot ?
Complexes only seem to drop gistii loot. I have yet to get any other loot from complexes, matter of fact, I have yet to get any complex-named loot form any other complex then an angel one.
Soo, if any questions are to be asked, these are the ones imo.
