All the decisions lately are influenced by Goons, why would you think CCP wanted to make things even?

well i just figured ok there going to level the alloys i understand that! i mean alliance's where building super caps like they where nothing ... but what about us small guys ? i for one lived off rat poo to refine cuz of my lack of mining skills and always in the pew .. and alot of people that run anoms have a salvager /looter just for this hell ccp u even cut the salvage that drops ...

I have to admit, I agree it's gone too far the other way. If CCP want drones to be the same as other rats they should drop the same sort of modules/ammunition/scrap metal that the other rats do. As it is, it's a nerf too far (as usual).

It could have been done better but I think that's expecting a bit too much of CCP.

It's a tyypical CCP fix - they focused on one part (exchanging alloy drops for cash bounties) and neglected to even look at any other aspect of them, which turned them from something unique into a gimped version of every other nullsec region in the game. Not good at all. Hopefully it gets fixed so you IRC fellows can prosper and we can shoot each other until the servers burn and die Smile

Not even a metal scrap. GG CCP for making drone related content even worse.

Originally I was kinda looking forward to the drone bounties since my corp is not indy based. But there really need to be once again a buff to drones to make it even to other rats. As was said. No mods/fasction/officers/haulers plus the bounties really are no better.

Not to mention that drone space as a whole took a big sec status nerf and no really decent moons. Not angry just saying it should be looked at as a matter of priority.

I drain ducks of their moisture for sustenance.

Pretty much this. If they have equal bounty payouts to any other rat type they should be dumping modules too.

Actually it's best to leave salvaging and scavenging to your new players depending on how they do the drops. You get more isk per hour by chaining rat bounties as fast as possible than you do by stopping to hoover it up (Even in a Noctis). But the occasional officer spawn or "Dread ____" spawn makes it worth keeping an eye on what's around.

It's an important income stream, just not to the ratter himself.

What you should ask is "How is it possible that people actually pay to living in this ****?"

Drone rats drop the new bpcs now. I have looted about 15 so far and a few of my corpmates have as well. Now here is the catch, and I have submitted a bug report on it, but all of these drops with the exception of one were found only on BS rats in the belts and they all came from wrecks that appear to be empty. You have to open each wreck or just salvage it and a cargo can will drop if it had a bpc in it. I found a lockbreaker bpc but that wreck showed solid and not hollow(empty), the rest came from hollow wrecks.

so was it a salvage loot, or real loot just bugged?
I mean (crazy talk) - did you salvage to get the BPC?

Its actual real loot inside the wreck. Just open the empty BS wrecks in the belts. If you salvage and it had a bpc in it, a cargo can will drop. No need to salvage though.
