I went to a system to find some good loot drops, to find some 650mm scouts. The system we went to spawned the most difficult pirates, in 1 spawn 3 liquidators (50k pirates) or 5 Mauraders (40k pirates) and still, no useable loot, besides 1 lif booster.
We only traveled 74 jumps to get there, and to find nothing :-( We will continue hunting for a couple of days to see if we will get lucky, but I lost hope.
Did ANYone actually find a 650mm scout from a pirate after the patch?
Don't say that they are rare, and very hard to find, I know that, I want to know is someone actually found one.
Thx,
Ghenghiz

Whoo HOO!!! (in the spirit of the topic, not the post)
Finally, after killing 50 Liquidators I got a single gun drop..... a normal 720 Artillery.

I dunno how rare they are, but I got a 150 gauss proto last night. It's the best of it's breed, but unfortunately, still sucky. Rare nonetheless. As it happens, this was from a spawn of 10k pies.

I've been mining & hunting since release (and in Beta), it's time for something else, don't you think?

Yep, the 30K and under pirates drop guns frequently, its the higher ones (the only ones that drop the 650 scouts, the high end lasers, the high end hybrids etc... ) that drop usually a only single item. (almost always a basic cargo pod, ammo, or other BASIC item)

I know the drill, and as I said...I've been hunting 50k pirates, and they only drop like: 180 scouts, dual 180 scouts, 720 gallium guns, 720 howitzers. All junk, I want to know if someone actually FOUND a 650mm scout. |

Afaik the loot tables were completely whacked, stomped and hacked to junk after the last patch. Not only did the nice chaps at CCP give the 50-guys a proper training and a family-pack of steroids, they also made sure that these, now even harder npc's, are completely incapable of dropping anything better than a 25-pack of cap-recharge and paintguns.
I checked both the juggernauts and liquidators out for some hours and realised that its pointless to hunt them for gear anymore since they drop as 10k-npc's anyway. 
Looks like they did with the drops like they did with arkanor - moved it to 2-3 places at the edge of nomans land. In this case that would be some nasty NPC BS'es 
Pfff....

Agreed on the loot.
Not agreed on the difficulty, with 2 cruisers, they are very easilly destroyed (3 50k pirates, or 5 40x pirates)
Still no-one here who found one...thought so, what's the use of hunting pirates, if they don't drop anything, not even the most 'difficult' pirates. Yeah, you get a small bounty, and higher status, but I don't need those, i need gear... |

First ive been killing alot of angels for the bounties.
Angel depredators commonly drop 180 and 220 variety auto cannons. The types go from Carbine, Gallium, Prototype.
Predators sometimes drop 425 ac's of the same variety or the 220's
Marauders drop the new 650 arts, named of the same type. Ive scored a gallium, a few carbines and a prototype.
Liquidators drop the 720 named versions of the same type again.
I think scouts have been taken out of the loot tables due to the fact that so many dropped before hand. There supposed to be rare so its seems reasonable imo.
Im hoping When they implement reverse engineering you can do it to any item its just difficult. Id rather see reverse engineering costing very little cash wise but takes alot of time with a small success rate. So when you do make a BP it will be worth having. This allows everyone the chance to get cool bp's without flooding the market to quickly.
But we'll see what happens i guess

Damn you guys suck.. I shot a couple of hundred and this is only part of what i got:
loot
As well as "which specific pirates drop what" having changed recently (patch before) the ability to do specifically what the thread author stated is now very very difficult:
"I went to get a XYZ"
These items are properly RARE now - going to get on specifically is an exercise in frustration.
Meanwhile the value of NPC hunting and the return on investment (time) is still VERY worthwhile (as the partial screenshot should show).
The point remains though - going for an individual item, an uber-rare item, and then decrying that "everything sucks" is pretty naive.
Anybody who tells me they hunted for days and came back with either nothing or "1 lousy weapons modules" is only really telling me they left behind Millions and Millions of ISk.
Kind of funny really.

Morkt,
You're missing the point, I'm merely asking if ANYone found a 650mm scout after the nerf patch.
I'm not complaining about anything, just informing about this particular drop.

Yep I get much the same as you Morkt - except I'm only getting the low-end heatsinks 
The number of explosion dampeners you have made me laugh as I have loads of the damn things too

I've been hunting guristas for 2 days now, and what I got so far (besides recycled crap) is:
3 carbide 150's
2 scout 150's
1 compressed 150
2 carbide dual 150's
1 EM Ward hardener
1 Heat Diss. Hardener
lotsa missiles & crap
most of that was looted of 8-10K frigs, and few Terrorists (20K) dropped those duals.
Higher cruisers dropped only medium ammo (thorium & lead) and basic crap.
Oh and lets not forget those medium shield boosters :P
I went in as much as 36 jmps into 0.0 in straight-ish line

Going in a straight line into 0.0, going out "36 jumps" into 0.0, going anywhere into 0.0 is not any indication of what you will find.
How many times does it need to be said that CCP changed the NPC Pirates to associate with ROID types not security level.
0.0 does not mean you will find XYZ pirates.
- - - - -
Yet on the other hand : yes where are the remote secret locations, pirate battleships, weird psce creatures and long-abandoned ghost ships and stations - absolutely.
But none of that really has anything to do with the false expectation that 0.0 means "ph4t l3wt".
Maybe i'm being too hard and people really don't remember or know - with the nature of CCPs communication its possible if not probable.
So:
System security status bears no direct relationship to the type of pirate encounter you will find there.

You are quite right - Im so used to seeing a standard "whaaawhaaaawhaaa I cant get an XYZ in 5 minutes" I misread your point.

Morkt,
Apology accepted ;-)))
I've not mentioned any sec. system, just the presence of the pirates. We went to a system with 40k and 50k pirates, and still didn't find anything usefull.
Yes, I know the loottables are screwed, and looking at all responses I conclude that 650mm scouts just simple don't drop anymore....

I didnŠt have my Indy near so i only took the interesting stuff and left tons behind.

Fatal,
And this loot was from the past several weeks, after the last big damage/loot nerf patch?
Hmz, and that from mauraders and not liquidators. Thanks for your input.

I've played A LOT of Diablo 2 and I've been hunting for "the rare" stuff, I still havn't found the really cool rare stuff after 3 years... So please kill another 5000 40k and 50k npc's then come back and complain about it.

First: for the second time...I'm not complaining, just informing if someone still gets 650mm scouts.
Good to meet a fellow diablo-er :-) We've been playing Diablo 2 since release and found lot's of good stuff, even uber-rare items.
I'm just wondering if the pirates we hunt are capable of dropping those items. If so, then I will continue the hunt, just like all those Meffie runs in Diablo. If not, then it's no use hunting those pirates.
I'm waiting for the patch in Diablo (v 1.10) and then I will return to Diablo once more (with Eve on the side :-) ) |

650 scouts come from then marauders not the liquidators.
I don't know about since the last patch, but the main loot table nerfs were patch before last, and I did get one or two 650 scouts after that one. Haven't been hunting since the last one.
