I don't know what loot drop was like years ago but confirming that loot from the rats is aweful. I average about 3m isk in loot from Gurista Havens.

I see Jenn dualboxes in the same system I rat in. What she doesn't tell you about her luck streak is that she's probably playing somewhere b/w 3-8 hours per day from what I've seen. So it's a numbers game hence the nice drops. And that's how it should be. But I didn't want people to think that her drops are frequent.



The two things that changed the value of drops from regular (not commander or overseer npcs) is the change to the reproc system and the reduction/and in some cases removal of meta 0 drops. Both of those stripped the thing that held the value up, which was the the mineral reprocessing. I expect that what you used to have when you pulled 10m of loot from a haven was a small pile of large railgun Is

The side effect has been some value for ABCs for your miners, since highsec builders aren't being firehosed with high end minerals from missions and ratting.

Its very simple to make money if you live in Vale and are solo. If you are politically able, roam around and hunt the ded 6,8 and 10 sigs, if not you can also run plain hubs/ports because they have the higher escalation rate (1 in ~30), and they are quick to complete. ie there are things you can do that is not running havens, that work just fine and since you don't necessarily need the roam and camper bait dead end to do them in, you might be interrupted a lot less.

looking back, I also made stupid amounts of isk from killing herons. they seemed to average about 30m, a newbie heron spawn was usually better than a gurista commander :)

Send some of those drops our way!

While I agree there were changes in price and such when the mining changes came, this was immediate. 15-25 mill per site in loot in sansha space. Move to angel space, immediately seeing 2-5 mill per site in loot, both Havens within a week of each other.

To add on, a few of us ran an 8/10 expedition the other day. The only thing that dropped worth any value was one Overseer Personal Effects worth 80 mill, and that was the ONLY ship in the entire site that dropped anything that wasn't normal loot at crap prices, if they dropped anything at all (most of the battleships did not). There were no other overseer effects, no faction drops, no deadspace, no nothing.

I know the things are supposed to be pretty rare to get good drops, but it's awefully frustrating getting just ammo almost every time. And then to get almost nothing in expeditions too.....just a kick in the backside on top of the rest.
