As a suggestion - you should remove the loot spew mechanic and INSTEAD add certain "containers" in the hacking mini-game that relate to the valuable loot inside.
For example: a shard contains one Esoteric Symmetry and nondescript junk - inside the hacking minigame add a "container" of sorts that once hacked will grant you the ability to loot the Esoteric Symmetry, while just simply going for the Mainframe will allow you to loot only the nondescript junk inside.
This will add time and more decision-making to the mini-game to compensate for the loss of time and decision making of the removal of the loot spew, while still keeping things relevant. Just my 0.02 ISK

I like this suggestion, but only if this improves the droprate.. not at current droprate.


I'd totally sacrifice improved loot for more sites.
Last night I've went 13 jumps without a Site. Talk about a dry run...

I knew it! I said I felt like I was being watched during hacking and it's true! They were all like "you're crazy, no one is there, no one is watching" but here's proof, now I see! Now I get it. Now the pieces are falling into place: The office, the promotion, that dwarf in my book club who steals my opinions. It's all coming together now!...


You wouldn't be much of an explorer if paranoia wasn't tightly lodged in your skull :D.

Well to use the old adage "It's not paranoia if they're really out to get you." We just got that proof here. They are watching you... Big smile

This mechanic is a lot of fun and makes it more interesting with friends.

I like that i helps to have a more agile ship and have to prioritiez what you want and not just be given eveything automatically for beating the hacking game.


Who else will miss loot spew?


This mechanic is not any fun - I'm glad to see it go.

I ran a couple data sites over the weekend for old times sake. I enjoyed the hacking and hated the spewing still - so much so that I didn't even bother doing all the cans in either site. There was little of value anyway - nothing worth my time fighting with little icons floating around on top of each other.

Good riddance loot spew!

Even better: Make the loot appear randomly in scatter containers, like in the COSMOS sites! Randomness is great. Lol

Also CCP should cut the decay time down, the scatter containers are far too long-lived. And send electro-shocks through the keyboards of your players, too! Only then will those masochists be truly satisfied.

Actually loot from something you blow up is a pretty horrible system in general.

Things should be made or found, but looting in combat. Roll I guess EVE has to have it because every other MMO has it.

Oh sure, lets keep the loot spew... it's a lot of fun... as much fun as Tschernobyl, the plague and Hurricane Katrina.

Not to derail this awesome thread...

...but how about making a player wreck eject 2-5 containers to hold the stuff that survives, instead of just a single wreck?

The jita purple lottery would be more interesting that way, and 2-5x as many people would go suspect for looting.

I would have preferred it to stay but only as a consequence of a failed hack in some way, along with some damage.

Yes! If you spin your ship too fast and/or too long, modules will come flying off.

how about this the stuff usually destoryed in the killing of the ship now spews.

so if you are fast you can get all the stuff in the ship. (i am thinking of you plex) or if you dont care you can just get the stuff that dropped.

That sounds like a list of gifts Santa leaves to naughty Capsuleers. What have you been doing to so offend EVE Santa?
