question about lvl4s and the loot

Not sure if this has even been answered before but, why do level 4 missions not have a chance to drop some kind of faction loot from the named npcs or mission completion targets? I really loved doing the lvl4 missions but compared to what I make doing hisec combat exploration the lvl4s are just not worth the trouble.

Are the lvl4s just for fun and some trickle down income?

Whats wrong with adding a chance to get a nice piece of faction loot from a boss npc once in awhile?

Burner missions have a much higher (and much broader) chance of dropping faction stuff than the other level 4 missions, as the number of missions that potentially drop pricey loot is very, very limited. You should try doing them :)

Missions are available pretty much infinitely while combat sites are relatively limited not to mention there are others competing in the same sites. If "good" loot dropped from missions which are not shared in any way, they would be farmed to high heaven and then said "good" drops would no longer be good as there would be a tremendous oversupply of them. If you look up the stuff that drops from the burners I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see a drop in price that correlates to the introduction of the burner missions.

Scarlet routinely drops a 10m ISK implant, Guristas and Angels drop a 3-8m ISK implant and Zazzmatazz and Damsel have a chance of dropping a 65m ISK Zor implant. Not exactly Faction loot, but still...

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

There is a chance for a faction spawn in the level 4 mission Worlds Collide. I once got a high-grade implant worth 300m from this.
