I've been out of the missioning loop for about a month or so, so please bear with me. I run missions out of Amarr territory to get a higher percentage of Blood and Sansha missions, since they normally give enough Melted Cap Consoles to build a CCC rig for a good mission (i.e. Vengeance).
Since I've gotten back into some missioning, I've noticed that the number of MCCs has dropped by as much as 50% per Sansha/Blood mission. Was there an explanation and I missed it? Has another type of rat started dropping MCCs? Has CCP just nerfed the number of MCCs per mission?
Any help figuring this one out would be appreciated.

I think CCP just reduced the drop rate of certain salvage items (MCC, Ward Console, etc) in order to compensate for the increased number of people farming missions/salvage.

I too have noticed that Blood/Amarr missions now give less MCCs. Strangely enough, the price of them has continued to drop. Alloyed Trit bars now cost more, when MCCs used to be twice the price of ATBs. |

It comes in weird spurts. I got the same amarr kill mission twice in a row last week. Got 22 melted cap 1st time around ... and got 1 melted cap second time around (same mission few days apart)

Maybe it's just the gods of probabilities playing tricks on me, or a stealth-nerf during downtime recently, but my salvage the last couple of days has been complete crap. I've seen about three Armour Plates and I can't remember the last time I nabbed an Alloyed TRitanium Bar, and that's doing higher-quality missions at the same level as I was previously...

because polycarbons are the new thing to put on ships
cccs on the mission ships, which dont die often.
then again poly carbs should be cheap now as nano ships never die either

Some missions drop more mcc's than others. One won't see atb's in amarr missions unless they are faction involving angels etc. I noted the drop in mcc price and rising of atb's and am happy as I save all mcc's to use in rigs while I sell all atb's (in or about Jita where they bring the best price)

I`m sitting on 1k melted caps as we speak...that`s 2 months worth of missioning (no farming).
Sounds ok to me.

Have temporarily setup business in Heimatar (Minmatar Republic) specifically to get ATB's from Angel rats. To say this is slow going is an understatement.
Needing to build a couple of Cargohold Optimization I's, which take 100ea (!), this seemed to be the best alternative to paying 450K ea on the market. (The rig sells for 56M).
Got lucky and got a Lo-grade Halo Epsilson in a 0.6 system last night, I guess I'll just concentrate combining the salvage with the loot to pay for the rigs.
It does seem I get a lot more "but there was nothing left to salvage".
I do find ratting in off-times (late at night MST, when the east coast and europe pilots are nighty-night) or just after downtime seems to help.

Salvage drops do seem to have been lowered. I don't get as many ATB's or MCC's as I used to, but I do like how ATB's have gone up in price. 10 mil for 22 is fine with me while I wait for my Rig BPO's to get into research.
Although, I DID get those 22 from a single mission... So I'm not complaining.

Combination of AE4 being removed from database, and polycarb popularity.
The funniest part of this whole thing is that removing AE4 actually acted as the polycarb nerf everyone's been asking for by making them more expensive.

Best Amarr missions to salvage MMCs:
The Blockade
Vengeance
Pirate Invasion {Or whatever it is called}
World's Collide {Get MCCs and ATBs}
Unauthorized Military Presence: {The two room version}
Really you can get them from any Sansha or Blood Raider mission but these listed are the only ones I find worth the time to Salvage anymore.
And yeah, the price is sinking and the market is flooded with CCC's so they are getting harder to sell in rig form. I am starting to just sell off the MCCs instead of building CCCs and wasting my time.

I'm currently farming WC4 in a high sec 0.8 system. (Angels-sansha). Just doing the first room and the two second rooms. (leaving the last room until we want to finish it completly)
The salvage yeilds for the last 5 times thru it were (MCC/ATB/Armor Plates):
Feb 20: 16/14/30
Feb 20: 6/13/24
Feb 21: 8/18/30
Feb 21: 10/6/17 (server reset FTW!)
Feb 22: 22/7/21
I had though they had nerfed the salvage drops, just after the patch day, but seems that it was just a statictical variation...
Sansha overseere spawned eventually each day - but was a low-bounty, non faction dropper.
had 2 angel overseeres too, but again, no faction bounties/loot from him either!

I can't confirm this, but after both running missions and ratting in low-sec/null-sec I believe that mission rats have been set to drop less salvage than belt/plex rats. Which seems wise, because ratting 0.0 angels should net more trit bars than running level 4s in the safety of high sec.
