4 Years in game, never has a faction spawn dropped nothing but a tag... always some ammo and mods... ALWAYS. Sometimes much nicer things.

The loot tables have been adjusted yet again.

Hoard your faction items, prices are going up!

Sooo… things have remained constant and have consistently yielded the same results for you so therefore you conclude that things have been adjusted…? Ugh

I can sense a great thread about statistical methods and probability coming up.

Oh, and yes: (pseudo)random number generator is (pseudo)random — the pattern recognition machine you've got stapled on the top of your neck really hates that…

It's tradition. Drops suck. Always have. Always will. I'd rather have the money.

By the way...don't things in Hell sizzle and fry? It takes a cold damp place to rot...doesn't it?

(Don't mind Tippia, other than pointing out the vapidly obvious, she/he/she/it doesn't have much to say...
but sure types a lot.)

Paradise is like where you are right now, only much, much better.

No. The cold would keep the rot at bay — you want humid and balmy for the best effect.

Sorry my sweet, I am bitter since no drops for almost 3 months. I know they have always sucked, but they suck alot more now.

Why can't you just love me?

Best drop I ever got was a Succubus BPC from a True Sansha spawn in an 0.6 belt.

I suspect the changes get played around with on the server every so often. Especially as more than a few of incursion fleets are "shiny" these days.

From what I understand however, NPC Nullsec space has the best chance of drops in a DT to DT period. Likely due to the fact that large power blocks arent as prevalent out there so farming an area all day is less of an option.

I got a low grade Crystal once, that was a good day

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

4 years for a loot worth more than the useless tag and an alternative to LP ammo is "I-Win".
Only in EVE Fanboi lore though.

I got a hangar full of faction mods from exploration and I am too lazy to sell them.

I did just fill up a Navy Issue Commet with Shadow Serpentis armor mods - and I doing it wrong?

Let's see...most fun things were Daredevil BPC's on back to back nights from the same 0.5 system.
Also picked up a Snake Delta in the Serpentis side of Worlds Collide, about 2 weeks before the speed nerf. That was sad watching it crash in value.

Not sure what OP is talking about. Seems like the contract market is always filled with stuff from belt rats and, or course, plexes.
