Faction Drops in hi-sec missions

I been and off and on mission runner for a long time,and aware they took a lot of loot off the table a whiles back, but i started a second account and while skilling up i missioned with him.

Thing was level 3 missions including storyline would occasionally drop some nice loot...nuthing amazing.

Example bonus room level 3 angel extravangaza, the container spawn was mentioning that a lot of times drops crap but sometimes faction in eve survival. This was old data but didnt think much about it but my surpise when it dropped a small faction armor repper...like only 20 million isk. But what i felt was that was so neat!!!! After doing the bonus room in angel ext at level 4 enough i doze my way thru this.... Wish there would be a box at the end that may drop something small like that somedays.

I was amazed at discovery skill books, implants etc....at the end of my brief run thru level3 to unlocking level 4 on my new character i amassed 200 odd million isk in sales from these little items.

Yes i make more money in lvl 4 lp store and blitzing etc.... But from the usual lack of any excitement. Same junk, no surprises.

And yes missioning is dull and i do infrequently just take me away from some other grinds. But cant we introduce a small percentage chance in selective lvl 4s the occasional surprise from spawn,s....be it a unique spawn that drops something novel, and it doesnt have to be couple hundred million isk deadspace drop, but the occasional decent implant, or small medium deadspace module.

I feel the same way, i mean. It doesnt even have to be something worth ISK.
It can be a trophy or whatever.. :)

LOL u dont get it....i was getting faction drops in lvl3 hi sec. Though small chance it was it was a nice find from missioning boredom.....

Probably mentioning that....next patch that small token gesture in hi sec lvl 3 will get removed....probably was a bug....or the whiney nullsec will get it nerfed. But its strange that you get low level implants in 3 but the implants the few that drop in lvl 4 are worth only to jettison into space compared to what i found in lvl 3 s on my alt.

And yeah been in null....bored there as well....and found faction loot.

Could you write down the names of the missions with the chance of rare loot?

i can personally confirm that at one point, worlds collide lvl4 could have a faction spawn that dropped faction loot. not sure if it was nerfed though, i haven't had one in a long time. there have been reports of other missions with faction spawns.

I should buy an Ishtar.

worlds collide in each second room there is a tiny chance for a domination battleship to spawn and even smaller chance it will drop faction modules (it's usually ammo)

Angel Extraveganza still has a 100% drop of a random 3% implant worth about 10-25 mil isk.
Approx 2 weeks ago I ran a Worlds Collide (Serpentis/Gurista) and the Supervisor in the Serpentis pocket dropped a faction armor hardener. It wasnt worth much, but just letting you know, theres still some decent drops from a few select level 4's.
Zor in Damsel in Distress still has a very slim chance of dropping his custom navigation hyper-link.

Faction spawn is still there. It was bugged at 100% spawn a few months back but it has been fixed to its normal %.

You could trigger the spawn by re-entering the 2nd pockets aswell, but this got fixed in the meantime too..


So far, I know of faction spawns in WWC and The Blockade.

I think it would be great if in you could loot parts of a module in lvl 4's for example, and then build it together.

3 days ago, while running level 4 worlds collide for sansha/angels, the sansha second room dropped a true sansha armor module.

Its the first faction drop I ever got in that mission.

Like you said, random. Most times it's worth less than a million, that 10-25M ISK hardwiring (not implant, actually) you're mentioning must be quite rare.
