There appears to be some difference in what, if anything, drops during missions against drones. Some people are still claiming that in their regions they are still getting alloy drops , while other (myself included) no longer get anything other than the bounties and an occasional drone AI. I talked to a GM and he seemed to say that they were aware that the drones were still dropping materials in certain areas and ,meh, it was no big deal. I did file a petition to draw this to their attention, but don't know what to file under a bug report (unequal drops?)

So the question is: Is anyone still getting loot drops from mission drones and have they noticed that it varies by region?

To buck the popular trend, I began to Rage Start instead of Rage Quit.

...and every time I get another piece of Carbon, I know exactly what CCP is getting this Christmas.

Please offer one concrete example of where there is drone poo or I will assume this is a troll.

I haven't seen any Rogue Drone NPC's drop Alloys and Compounds as loot since the change.

However, the Drone Containers found in different missions and exploration sites still drop those, maybe that's what those players meant.

They're being dropped by destructible drone structures.

confirmed, I just looted plush, glossy and all the rest from a drone 10/10 escalation today. Some came from structures and some came from the drone commander wrecks.. Not a whole lot but it still drops and I have only been in the second room so far..
