Wait, there are people who actually like loot spew and the mini game??

This thread just blew my mind. It's like Rule 34 for Eve.

Banish plump Jack, and banish all the world.

TBH, I wouldn't be surprised if CCP keeps loot spew. They seem to be trying their best to destroy Eve this year.

I hated the spew container when watching it on youtube, but it's actually nice enough trying it myself.. Just focus on the good containers and don't pick up the scrap containers, that's my free advice.

I can imagine some people spasming over seeing their potential loot flying in all directions and disappearing into nothingness though :p but it's always been the nature of exploring, only now it's more visually obvious and taunting.


This. It takes thought, focus, and good reactions (all of which you can build up with a little practice) and you'll come up with shinies eventually. Some sites just don't have anything decent in them, but that's why you cargo-scan the containers first.

This. Cargo scan that thing, cross reference it with a loot guide, and you will snag 90% of the loot, every time.

This thread is six months old.

The most recent post before the SECOND time it was necro'ed was two months ago.

Biomass, please.

Loot spew really sucks. The Mini game is not fun. It does not fall in line with anything else in eve. It might as well be tic tac toe with some random NPC where sometimes it plays dumb to let you win.

How about creating a "package" that you loot. Said package would have to be processed to see what is inside.

In the beginning null was empty, and dark, and void...

And the nullsec alliances that formed elected CSM representatives, to take their message of 'moar soft targets' to THE LORD....

So CCP crafted Oddyssey on sisi, an exploration-based release to draw moar bear flesh into the void.

But lo there still wasn't enough bear flesh for the hunters in null to consume, and there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

So CCP invented loot spew, to entice the bears to bring other bears with them, and provide even moar flesh to the hungry null pews.

But lo, the bears would watch local and cloak as soon as a nullpew entered system to harvest their flesh.

So CCP crafted a mini game, to bedazzle and mystify the bear, and take his attention off local long enough for the null pew to point him.

And the null pews were satisfied, and it was now the bears wailing and gnashing their teeth. For they did not enjoy the non-consensual expansion of their nether orifices.

And CCP said "look what we have done! It is beautiful in our sight! What moar can we do?'.

So THE LORD commanded that a player event be enacted, to bring even moar bear flesh into the void. And CCP led a cast of thousands of naive bears into the border regions, where null pews waited hungrily to slaughter them and feed on their flesh.

And CCP waved their hands in consentric patterns while chanting 'RUBICON! RUBICON!', and this mystified the null pew long enough to forget their pains of TiDi and empty wasteland systems...

So let it be written. So let it be undone.

The answer to loot spew: bring a bro. Two people can hoover it all up. This also allow your bro to make up to 4 attempts on the same can without triggering the self-destruct, as destruct mechanic is triggered on successive fails by a particular player.

This is how I first learned that one could not cloak their ship while in the process of being locked and that when I am exploring in my Helios 50% of the sites I scan down already include a cloaked T3 Cruiser that will pop me in one shot. I would enjoy the game more if the hunter had to complete lock before I was prevented from cloaking but I understand that no solo play should go unpunished in this game. I guess in 6 months when I have played this game for a year I will be able to use a ship with a few HPs. So far I have found a Medium Blood Tower BPC in .5 space but only took 30 miliion ISK between me and my corpmate in a hacking null sec for two days.
