It is very rare to get the spawn stoned, how often are you running it?

faction standings DO NOT dictate what missions you get. its random from a pool of missions that agent hands out.

Originally by: StonedAGAIN Is it just me or is anyone else experiencing the lack of faction loot from missions like the blockade before the last patch every now and then you would get some very nice faction loot from a rat called the contractor but since that patch I would do at least 1 blockade a day sometimes more and have never once received a drop which I think is pretty fail to be honest even worlds collide the drops are crap now. I am just wondering why CCP would remove such a beneficial part to missions or is it just a bug they don't want to tell you about. If petitioned you know you will get the same very arrogant answer in a very sarcastic way "working as intended". So has anyone else experienced this and know the answer why they are so crap now?
I ran DED Blockade 4 last night and I picked out 2 large 'Solace' remote reppers, a large S95a remote repper, a 1600mm RT Plate and 3 large F-S9 extenders.
Your milage may vary.

thats only meta 4 gear tbh if u kill a rat called the contractor it drops navy faction stuff can get that kind of stuff from any mission sorry to say but now I have told you what you are looking for please keep me posted if you do actually see the contractor as I have a feeling its no longer there due to some kind of bug as the guy previous said he did get a faction spawn in the hisec version |

Edited by: Nadine Le''**** on 16/08/2011 14:02:32 confirming highsec L3-blockades, AE4 stations and retirement homes from GE4 dropped faction loot some years ago. Got two dread invuls out of them plus a few other items.
probably went poof the same day they nerfed npc loot. wts metal scraps.
only mission that still has a chance for good loot seems to be WC4 |

Originally by: StonedAGAIN no not 100% of the time but at least 1 in every 10 or something you do. I used to do way more than 10 n would get zero other than the bounties. go try some missions in 0.0 and tell me there is no risk....
I went two months getting small c-type module drops from highsec exploration, never anything worth more than about 75 mil.
In the past two weeks, I've found two c-type medium shield boosters, two low-grade crystal implants, a dread launcher worth nearly 100 mil, and various other nifty items. After two months of grinding away to make ends meet I finally scored big like I did in my early days of exploration that hooked me on it.

Originally by: Rip Minner Ya like high sec missions dont get nerfted every single expantion as is.
Well, they don't.
And as for the OP: no, pretty much all exploration-type loot has rightfully been removed from missions. The only one I'm aware of that still happens is the overseer spawns in Worlds Collide.
If you want that kind of loot, go do the activitie(s) that are meant to provide it. Missions are just for steady and predictable ISK. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡ you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki

Ive done WC lvl 4 at least 50 times, of those times i farmed 10 of them for overseers, only ONCE did it drop faction loot, and it was a true sansha heavy neut worth 80 mil, they haven't even dropped scrap metal since then
I have never seen a faction spawn in any other mission and I have been missioning for 2 years. I get more faction spawns out of highsec anoms and highsec belt ratting than lvl 4 missions.
ONE MORE THING!! the loot in lvl 3s are worth more than the loot in lvl 4s

It doesn't matter where the agent is. The missions are the same regardless of where you run them, and as such, the loot (in particular) is designed to match where they are run the most ù highsec.
If you run them outside of highsec, you already get increased rewards through better payout, bonus and LP. They're not meant to be sources of high-meta loot ù they're meant to be sources of ISK and low-meta junk (and LP that you can use to turn that junk into high-meta gear). ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡ you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki

The problem is without some chance of the occasional faction drop in a rat or structure, that drive to try your luck on just one more mission that session is gone. I get the balance issue, but missions are now just a monotonous grind. Seriously boring. They've been nerfed to the point that I can barely stand them anymore, and the game would do just fine if missions were more enjoyable (and yes, profitable).
I think the game would be better served with a few easter eggs in the missions, and don't think that would seriously detract from exploration.

Chance based is chance based. There is no guarantee for faction spawns. They are there,and u can have luck and get one 3 times in a row, and u can be unlucky and you'll never get a single faction spawn in missions.
This thread is whining about chance is too low, or "random". And for WC, a simple "Sansha/Angel/whatever-Overseer" is not a faction spawn. You'll want to have a "True Sansha" BS (or equivalent), they are dropping faction loot.

àand yet I've had snake and crystal implants and the normal bunch of faction ammo and tags from it. Close enough. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡ you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki

I like kittens. Sorry, but my post is about as relevant as some of the replies here to OP's question.
