EVE General Discussion

I liked salvaging, I would run level 4's for just under 2 hours with 3 Tengus, ditch the bookmarks into corp hangar, log and sign on my salvaging account.
No drone alloys, less wrecks with salvage in and those dang metal scraps.
6 accounts became 5 as soon as the plex expired.
The introduction of this stupid inventory system that worked perfecty well before, 2 more accounts expired and TBH unless the developers stop placing stumbling blocks in the way of the players, then as my other accounts expire they will not be renewed either.
Credit card looks better than it has in years.

It's not an unsubbing post, it's a "I can't bear to log on and see what you done to my baby" post.
Words cannot begin to express my dissapointment at CCP.
This game was fantastic and a joy to play but because they have newer and better projects in the pipeline they have drained the brains from EvE's development team and put the apprentices in charge.
I'm not unsubbing, I'm waiting for the CEO to get his sales report and scream WTF. Only then might something be done and I will reactivate my accounts possibly.

What is love, baby don't hurt me
don't hurt me, don't me, no more

That's not so bad when compared to scanning down an exploration site that only has one can. The most horrible of trolls is finding out that one can is empty.

I think if the random generator whatever lands on no loot, then it should always default to one Metal Scrap, that would be a hell of a lot better than getting nothing.

Lately it seems to me NPC's wrecks are showing more empty than containing loot. As for having Metal Scraps mixed in with the loot from wrecks, I think that's fine. I mean come on, you just destroyed a metal ship, there should always be at least one or more units of Metal Scraps in it. Definitely better than having a bunch of empty wrecks. Also, having all NPC ships only drop one Metal Scrap when destroyed is a joke, there's a hell of a lot more metal contained in a Battleship than in a Frigate.

As for Metal Scraps replacing Meta 0 items as loot drops because said items can be manufactured from BPO's. that may be true but the amount and various types of minerals gained from reprocessing Meta 0 items drastically outshines what's gained from a few Metal Scraps.

Looking at that change along with the removal of Rogue Drone loot, the announcement of new ORE Frigate, small changes to ORE Mining Barges / Exhumers as well as redoing Racial ships by removing the Mining Frigates / Cruisers all seems to show an awful big push to force players into getting their minerals by only mining asteroids in a specific ship class. Which as everyone knows, that specific ship class is constantly being systematically hunted down and destroyed. I for one have no desire to get into that ship class or pursue an Industrial Career just to gather up a few minerals to make some ammo.

So I say bring on more Metal Scraps being dropped as loot and increase the amount contained in wrecks as dictated by it's ship class. Could even add different types of Metal Scraps as well. Better yet, just have each unit of Metal Scrap reprocess into small equal amounts of all mineral types currently available in game.

To post something constructive:

You could simply make a filter that excludes metal scraps.
