The gallente megathrons no longer drop all the loot cans since DT today as they did previously, has anyone else found this?
Also is it true that some of the other BS types have bounties? Cos the megathrons dont.

If they don't drop loot cans it is a good change. No way an empire agent runnning should eb getting better loot than a 0.0 NPC hunter. I killed many Ammatart battleships in this missions I got too much good named stuff. I never got so good stuff hunting in 0.0.
So if they changed it I support it. |

Yes, I can agree. I picked up at least 50 million worth of good named items in only two of these missions, and that's a bit over the top. I think the challenge of engaging npc battleships is enough (but of course with a small chance of something nice in the cans ).

You are not really supposed to kill them, the BSs are either ships belonging to you own Navy, or Mercenary Overlords hired by other factions (if you work for InterBus, for example). You warp out to the stranded ships and recieve your BMs, but since the saboteurs disabled the communications they can't alert anyone if you engage them...
I think it's a nice way to give the players who like to fight battleships a chance, without forcing those who can't handle it to deny the mission (like with Zor).

I get 1 sabotage mission every 15 kill missions, which means 1 a day if im lucky.
Considering the difficulty of killing 3 ravens, I have gotten MAX 20mil loot from 3 of them, minimum 6 mil(and that was from refining).
15mil a day for something that requires a skill pilot in a battleship isnt over the top.

Just killed 3 mega, and they all dropped a can. Imo it's a bit too rewarding vs risk.

Hmmm A few friends and I ran missions most of the day today (Saturday) and never saw the sabo mission. Has CCP once again teased us with a decent mission and then taken it away all too soon?

I've gotten this mission twice from my Amarr Navy Q19 agent in Hasoufad (sp). I just recently started getting it, too. And as for nerfing the loot... nope, still getting three cans stuffed full of things.

no standing hit
and i helped wes with his in a frig.....(end up webbing one with the grapefruit of doom)
they arent THAT tough, but when i get the mission it's 3 750k ravens, think it'd be a little different with multiple cruise flying at you than apoc's or mega's

TBH, I find it interesting if people start bemoaning that they can't keep on getting 3 free BS kills in 1 mission. Guaranteed first shot, and no standing hits whatsoever.
Seems somewhat exploitable.
Ohwell. I'll just have to live with that hunting in 0.0 won't give me the same amount of BS'es as empire-based agent missions ;)
Cheers.

Can anyone confirm this? If so, that's pretty dumb.
You're not supposed to kill them.. if you do you should fail the mission (imho).

Yes, that was funny. And then I found out I could attack them one at a time anyway. :P
And I can confirm the no standing hit. You don't take a standing hit for blowing up minmatar fleet ships either IIRC (Avenge a Fallen Comrade). I think you only take hits for blowing up pirates.

no standing decrease or sec decrease, no bounty for amarr navy apocs from amarr navy agents either
but nice loot (large guns,xl shield boost, 1600mm plates, seige miss launch, large crystals,etc.) nothing special
the best mission so far is "gone berserk" where the rare rat true sanshas lord shows up, got true sansha adaptive nano plating +22.5% to all armor resist, woot!

I agree, I had THREE of these in a ROW the other day! One just before DT, and then two more just after. Only Lv2 missions, but the 150mm Prototype Railgun and 6 other named items were awesome! :D

Well, in the other Sabotage thread Zrakor is talking about this as an optional encounter, so I think the possibility of killing them is supposed to be there...
