I am sure I read the phrase "like all other NPCs" ... Wouldn't that include the odd named item or at LEAST some friggin scrap metal ?

Then I guess the valid player name that has been around for years, isk4sale does even more so. So what ?

First time I agree with a Goon.

CCP said they'll be "evaluating" drones in the future but there is a reason all the alliances left drone space...

That is pretty bad tbh. I too thought they were to be 'just like other NPC's'. But no loot at all ? Weird weird weird.

Sounds like the OP's botting operation doesn't seem as fun now.

There is no way in hell your a legit player with that name. Honestly.

I lied :o

I would have thought it would make nice space for amarr bots, no need to program to collect/haul loot just kill a repeat..

Rogue Drone space will be interesting again with the Drone Combat revamp coming up.

More drone rigs.
More T2 drone types.
Hopefully also some more love for smaller drone boats.


I for one believe a brand new set of T1 destroyers made for 'utility use' could be interesting. Maybe 50 m3 drone control / 150m3 drone bay? Made for support roles. (lots of mid/low slots, only 4 high)

This is discussing NPC drone rat loot, not your Combat Drones.

Hmm really doesn't appear so from looking at the drone bounties posted on K162, the drones top out at 1.88Mil and most bounties were very small fry. If they'd have not nerfed the true sec maybe the average earnings would have led them to be higher earners but they made the Drone Regions hit the 0.0 average.

Drones were supposed to have at least 1x Metal Scrap as a loot drop while CCP created a new loot table for them.

I just completed a Level 4 Storyline Mission called 'Patient Zero' and made about 5 mill ISK from that. No loot drops whatsoever. No special implant or Storyline module. Nothing.


I liked how drones dropped alloys and compounds, made them unique, fun and worthwhile to do.

Lately it seems CCP has their heads buried where the sun don't shine. They need to pull their heads out and clean the sh*t out of their eyes.

The drones weren't supposed to have any loot table, greyscale/affinity confirmed that in the original blog thread.

I'm just going to avoid Level 4 Security drone-centric missions like I have been for the past 2 years.

Anyone who has done SoE in Arnon has seen Isk4 and his alt. They talk trash in local, but are definitely not bots. :-P
