The strangest / best / oddest / most interesting loot drop you've seen.

I don't do a lot of PvE. I ran some missions many years ago, and I do a little exploration every now and again, but I don't have the experience some of you have. I have seen some weird stuff drop though... be it a couple of implants in some bunkers I was blowing up out of boredom, a BPC from a generic exploration site frigate, or an escalation at a signature site. I wonder how crazy it can get. So I ask you, what is the best loot you've seen drop from the most unlikely NPC thing you destroyed?

Nothing ever because I know that all NPCs have a "randomised" drop from a certain loot table and it is no surprise what drops from what.

Mining in a 0.8 system belt, a belt rat dropped a limited snake omega, 600+ million ISK.

Edit: PvP: A Proteus. On a POS bash the enemy warped 2 Nyx into the POS bubble and bumped out several ships (oops). I was the only Proteus pilot in the Op, so I warped my pod to the ship and stole it.

The weirdest loot I've found comes from doing LADAR sites in NULL.

Strangest thing I've gotten:
Prepared Dandruff

Several neat books:
Pillaging 101
The Little Pirate That Could
Navigation For Dummies

Just random fun worthless loot.

Strangest thing I had I got today... from a minmatar militia member.

He had what you would expect on a slasher, ammo, guns, MWD... Male strippers? Apparently he needed some in flight entertainment.

I popped a noobship once, and it dropped 1 tritanium. Blew my mind.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Best I've seen from high-sec belts has been a Daredevil BPC, an LG Snake Beta, and a Shadow Serpentis 1MN MWD.

Best I've seen in low- or null-sec belts has been tags.

CCP has no sense of humour.

That's ******* broken.
I've had officer drops that were worth less.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

I've had two officer drops, and the most valuable module either of them dropped was worth 50m.

Its still possible. Just yesterday my sister found a 100 mil implant in a belt rat wreck someone else had abandoned, in high sec. I also once found a harvester drone abandoned in a belt. Other miners were there, all ignoring it.

The best drop I've ever had in high sec was a Dread Guristas Stasis web. Which I then proceeded to reprocess by not paying attention. Derp.

Best drop I've had in nul from a non-escalation has been a Crystal Alpha. Doesn't matter what the sec is, I still get crap from Faction Rats.

Some of the COSMOS missions drop heads in jars. I still have 2 or 3.

CCP should allow us to do that with player corpses, for conversation pieces in station. Smile

I got a LG slave epsilon in high sec a loooong time ago. Sadly they didn't use to sell anywhere near what they are at today. I have gotten better drops, but not in high sec.

The ones that I enjoy the most are the fluff exploration loot such as free drug samples, and seasoned dandruff.

The most I ever got was a 600M (at the time) Snake implant from one of the Worlds Collide overseers… Cry
