Is salvaging team burners worth it?

RNG has given me a lot of team burners lately. (No complaints at all.) I'm curious on a couple of things:

- Do the support / logi ships ever contain loot?
- Is the loot in the mission target ship ever non-trivial? I always get cheap T1 / meta items.
- Is the salvage on any of the ships non-trivial?

Note this for TEAM burners, not agent / base.

faction loot is possible from the assault frig, don't think I've ever seen the logi drop anything.

Don't think I ever tried salvaging them, they are mission generic wrecks so typically those drop bad salvage.

Never, yes and nope. I get a Faction drop in about every 5-6 Burner missions (anywhere from 10m-150m ISK).

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

you're lucky. I made 10 burners and no faction drop at all, only skins from the serpentis talos. I still got faction DC before so that's not that bad.

edit : 10 not 20

havent seen logis drop anything yet.
have had some faction loot, but more 1 in 10 or less missions.
tried salvaging several times, it was completely underwhelming. I was hoping the main pirate wreck would have something good.

In case people are wondering about loot,

- Team burners have a 10% chance of dropping faction loot (not necessarily good faction loot). They do not drop faction ammo so if they roll a faction drop it will always contain faction modules. They also frequently drop valuable meta loot like compact BCUs.

- Agents have the same chance of dropping faction loot as teams and will mostly drop faction ammo. Rarely they will drop pirate frigate BPCs.

- Serpentis Base Talos have a 30% chance of dropping faction loot, again mostly ammo. They apparently can also drop Vigilant BPCs but having run hundreds of them myself I've yet to see that drop.

- Angel Base escort dramriels have the exact same drop rates for faction loot as their Archangel Agent cousins, and will also rarely drop Dramriels BPCs. The Transport rat will always drop 1000 Archangel small projectile ammo, 100 units of some random commodity, and then maybe a Clone Tag worth 2.5 mil. The Transport has a very low chance of dropping faction loot and will very rarely drop Cynabal BPCs

- Blood Base frigate rats will always drop 1000 rounds of faction ammo and have a very slight chance of dropping faction loot and Cruor BPCs. The Ashimmu will drop sleeper loot, and have a low chance of dropping faction loot and very low chance of dropping Ashimmu BPCs.

- Guristas Base I have little information on since it's a terrible mission and I don't run it.


In my opinion it is worth your time to loot the wrecks. It takes seconds to do and it can add a significant amount of value to your time spent on these missions.
