Loot spew is said to be going away.

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.

No, thankyou. I'll take the new 70% yield over loot spew anyday.

Does someone have a confirmation on where/when/how this is happening.
Also 70% yield is sad. Since you get over 70% of yield nearly every time anyway if you know what you are doing.

NOOOOO!! They should be adding loot spew to other areas of the game, not taking it away. Sad

A miner fires a strip miner at an asteroid... ORE SPEW!

Salvage a wreck? SALVAGE SPEW!

Destroy another ship in combat? No more 50% chance of loot drop... 100% loot in spew cans!

+1, he's one of the worst offenders of trolling in F&I.

I'm tempted to give you a +1.

Not because I agree, but because the rage quit threads would be so epic, I might actually stand a chance of someone giving me their stuff.

Did you know that when they announced this at 2013 fanfest to be coming in Oddy they mentioned that it was a mining prototype idea to kill bots?

Well, it could be used as a mechanic for outpost destruction: Pop the outpost; LOOTSPEW !!!!!

People still do data and relic sites?

Hmm. 70% is still more than before Odyssey. And now there won't be spew, and no return of rats. Second plummet of loot value incoming...

But yeah, loot spew was kinda terrible.

Man up, gank a hauler and rejoice in the real loot. Spew is for tourists. Pirate

Actually you might want to rewatch that video again. All they did was show a few prototype concepts for a more engaging mining game, none of which were concrete. Flying crosses on a screen (Or any other easily recognisable symbology) are also quite bottable. If a computer can recognise a mosquito on a video camera and target it accurately enough to shoot it with a laser (Look up Star Wars Mosquito defence system, it's crazy), then a computer can recognise flying crosses on your screen and simulate mouse clicks appropriately.

Loot spew is not necessarily a bad idea, just implemented in the wrong places. Loot spew in hacking containers didn't make sense while there was no loot spew for blowing up a ship. You'd think violent ship death with the hull breaches and all that would have loot spew instead.

Imagine an officer ship loot spew? Imagine what that would do to nullsec ratting and officer spawns. Would we lose 30 percent of the modules? Would we be seeing 32 billion ISK machs?
The best ship fits for "I want the loot too" situations would be the in your face fits, like Gallente blaster boats - so it would be a game changer.

Loot spew should be a feature of "violent actions" like blowing up a ship or hitting a rock with a frikkin' mining laser.


But simply bypassing the lock on a door? It was not a good idea.

And a confirmation of the value changes from a Dev? Or is that simply peoples extrapolations.

Wouldn't want to be in a large fleet fight with that mechanic. Client locking up every 5 seconds due to thousands of dots spewing everywhere.

Please stop posting.

I will miss loot spew as much as your trolling.
