I am wondering what frequency faction items drop as loot in missions.
Previously I thought that faction loot only dropped from faction spawns. Given that those are not found in missions, I figured that was the end of it.
After running missions for over two and half years, I have never seen a faction mod drop in a mission.
However, today, much to my delight, I picked up a Dread Guristas Statis Webifier from a level 3 storyline mission. 
So how long have these been dropping in missions?

Certain missions have a rare chance of spawning a "boss" ship. This ship has a rare chance of dropping a faction module.
Worlds Collide lvl 4 is one of those missions. I have only done the Gurista and Serpentis versions. I am not sure about the other WC faction missions.

I once had two Blood plates drop in two separate lvl 4 storyline missions but never got anything like that in any regular mission. The plates were nothing great either. They were EM resistance plates.

I have yet to see these rare loots in any of my missions (collide, extravaganza). They are supposed to only be rare spawns in extra rooms of a few missions. You need card or tags to unlock the secret room gate and then inside that room has a chance to supposedly spawn this rare mob that has a chance to drop good loot.
I have only heard about this "tale". I never met anyone who actually has got rare loot via this method.
Kinda like a finding a purple elephant... does it actually happen or is this all a myth people have propagated? any real confirmations from people?

Ive had a few drops from Gurt Extrav, most was a DG invun worth 300mil isk so it is worth it, but you need a Diamond tag to access the last stage of the mission and a little luck.

Edited by: Chuck Skull on 16/02/2008 16:02:41 Gurista 'ganza has a bonus room with a good chance of faction loot(No guarentee it'll be good). Worlds collide spawns Faction overseer's. I think it's linked to the number of times the gate is activated(noticed they often appear when fleeting or salvaging without turning in), those have a pretty low chance of dropping any in my experience though. Cant think of any more off the top of my head.

Gurista and Angel 'ganza have/had a building in the bonus room that has a fairly low chance to drop faction loot. I did the bonus stages maybe 10-15 times in my entire eve career (usually I just declined the missions because of comparably bad isk/time) and pulled ONE crappy faction item from them.
The faction overseer in WC is way more frequent, but since it is the lowest or second lowest faction BS possible, it usually drops junk as well. I DID get two high grade pirate implants out of them though plus numerous lesser faction items. I guess if you run guristas version, you can hit the mother lode if you score a DG invul. My Sanshas and Angels regrettably don't posses such uber items :(

Angel and Guristas Extrav drop faction gear on occasion. Both are regular spawns in the bonus room. The angel is a battlestation, and in guristas is a little overseers structure that dies in a volley.
I have gotten a DG Invuln on guristas one, and a crappy EM armor hard from angels.

Edited by: The Djego on 16/02/2008 21:10:41 Blockade also has a chance to get a Faction Ship in the last Spawn but it is realy rare. I got 2 in Level 4 and 3 in the Level 3 Version so fare and I done a lot of them...
And yes only once in L3 the Spawn dropt a Faction Plating(nothing fancy) in all other cases only the extra ISK for the Rat, Faction Amno, a tag and some named Items. ---- Nerf Tank - Boost Gank!

For the Extravaganza's (Angels, since I haven't done a Guristas yet) The lvl 3 tends to have lvl-4ish rats in them. Namely battleships.
For the lvl 4, there are a bunch of HAC's and a load of battleships, with tons of damage dealing capabilities.
The lvl 3 bonus room can be done solo in a goodly tanked battlecruiser (Though it'll take awhile to kill the battleships.)
For lvl 4, depends on how the aggro is distributed, friends are ALWAYS a boon in the bonus room.
Edit: I haven't gotten anything really worthwhile from bonus rooms yet, though I always make sure to blow up the battlestation and check the stashes for goodies. Although I got Zor to drop his modified Hyper-navigation implant once... Doesn't really count for faction loot, and I have seen only a fingerfull of dominations in missions.

I've gotten the Serpentis Overseer (faction variant) in WC4 fairly recently. Dropped junk (Serp Iron L and a tag, IIRC), but the bounty was 7m or so.
I know people have pulled DG loot out of the GG4 bonus room, I never have though. -------------------- ICE Blueprint Sales FIRST!! -Yipsilanti Pfft. Never such a thing as a "last chance". ;) -Rauth |

Bonus room GG on lvl 3 is way too easy, just one BS, nothing compared to angels 4 BS, and palladium tag is not spent too on GG.

The WC spawns are in the bases (gurista, serpentis, whatever), it's just one extra BS on top of the normal. They usually don't aggro until you engage them.

Two years of mish, I've never had these "rare" spawns, save a tag I got from a commander spawn really early in my days, Jenmai's Tag or something.

I have completed WC4 quite a few times already and I have only seen the Overseer appear 3 times.
The Overseer on the Gurista side of WC4 dropped faction ammo a couple of times for me. x1000 Guristas Tungsten L one time and x1000 Guristas Scourge Heavy Missiles another time. The third time it only dropped regular T1 loot.
The bonus room in GE4, I have looted a DG Co-Processor and a DG Dual 250mm Railgun.

I've never had a faction ship appear in any of my L4 missions, but I have had some success in Angel 'ganza and managed to get a Domination thermal shield amp (pretty meh), but one time I got lucky and found a Cynabal BPC (angel cruiser) in the bonus room and that's it.
And speaking of Angel 'ganza, I heard they canned the mission for a while because it gave out too much Domination stuff? If it is, could explain why my agent now likes to give me The Damsel in Distress far too many times recently Just how many times do I have to kill Zor for him to get the message? 
Still waiting on the day I actually see a faction spawn appear in a mission

If you mission run in low or null sec then there is a small chance of having rat ships that drop faction loot appearing at any asteroid fields that appear on the mission. IÆve heard from several people that this has happened to them and they got decent faction gear as a result. Mind you, if you were running say a tough lvl 3 mission and an officer spawn appeared whilst you were webbed and scrambledà That which does not kill us makes us stronger.

wow 2 1/2 years? Have you just not run alot of missions?
2 month old toon... and so far from what I remember
so far two low grade snakes [serpentis] have dropped for me .. a dark blood armor hardner last week [grrr! sold cheap to corpie, gimme faction shield hardners next time!]... a non-faction T2 implant. these from lvl 2's and lvl 3's. weird stuff like 10m R&D book, and way too many gun implants [loot drops, not rewards] for this missile user. Only run a couple lvl4s so really havent done enough to see the rare drops.
The snakes and hardener... no bonus room that I know of... I assume by bonus room needing a key and this is a room that is not required to complete the mission.

Got some faction loot off the "Covering Your Tracks" Storyline the other night. Was a dread gurista passive resistance amp, not that exciting but where there's one thing there's often more.
