I just had a singularity core drop from a Cardasian ship I believe. Should not be possible.

    the loot tables for weapon drops have always been wild and glorious things; somehow I'm not surprised the warp cores don't line up either.

    Oh, that's where that went! Thanks for finding it. :D

    Nah, in all honesty, it's what kasandaro mentioned in regards to how loot tables are set up. Not a bug, but I will pass the feedback along. However, I do love finding Borg drones dropping Banana Splits and Gagh :eek:

    Cheers,

    Yea. Be nice if an alien would drop the energy type it used... especially the Undine, who seem to use an Antiproton/Plasma hybrid (deals both types - go fight them with full Aegis).

    My favorite is when Klingon warriors drop Tribbles. Happens a lot, it's so ironic. I've also seen Undine dropping foodstuffs. Pass along a request: If we're fighting Alien X, we'd like Alien X to drop what it's using. Loot drops for weapons based on faction, shouldn't be too hard.

    Bah... the worst part is the drop RATE of Warp/Singularity Cores. I might get one once a day, MAYBE. And they're usually TRIBBLE. Be nice if we could craft them on Tribble. *winks at BranFlakes*

    I never thought that object type that dropped were tied to where it is coming from, like a Negh'var will only drop disruptors and never a phaser bank. I hope it stays as is or it would make for loot 'shopping' quite hard.

    I'm fine with believing it's captured/salvaged technology and goods that the targets just happened to have, tying it to faction types will only result in the creation of high traffic farming zones with players overpopulating certain areas looking for specific kinds of loot drops.
    If something is not broken, don't fix it, if it is broken, don't leave it broken.
    Oh Hell NO to ARC

    Agree 100% with this. The random element is needed, or obtaining gear would really get crazy. Not to mention the nightmare of balancing the distribution from the devs side. And what about the fact that certain enemies are often level-banded. Or you may not fight many opponents who use the same energy-type as your base faction, if you like to stick to canon weapons. All sorts of issues there.
    Live long, and prosper.

    Yeah, if things dropped by enemy type, you could have a problem with it getting a bit "farmville" like.

    On the other hand, that Borg drop banana spilts and klingons dropping tribbles :P does not compute entierly. Maybe they should replace those items with something a bit more appropriate.

    Since the old times, wolves have been dropping swords and gold pieces upon dying. Some things never change.

    U get some funny things this way ...

    In the old KDF tutorial i got a blue phaser rifle from a Klingon security guarding the consoles on a klingon base, it must have been one of his battle spoils.

    But still, i can agree it would not make sense forthe loot tables to specify where certain items can be looted, but i think it could have a extra tick where the item type CANNOT be looted.

    Like looting tribbles & phaser items from klingons
    Foodstuffs from Borg
    Klingon Heart of Targ from a reman
    Nothing as weird as getting Romulan Ale from some critter on a remote world exploration mission

    I'm just somewhat concerned with Singularity and Warp core not dropping well enough, I've hit Subcommander 24 and not had a single core of any kind drop.

    The best is getting a tribble from a Klingon. You did somebody a favor by killing him.

    oddly enough... most the cores i've seen drop are the exact ones that i have equipped..... or are just plain whites.

    Low mark warp cores should just have their drop rates increased. They are useful for only a relatively short amount of time, and we're dying for them. Especially when they are supposed to offer a large amount of customization, but there is no variety available.
