Please nerf remove do something

[Sans]

Well, I just ran a few missions solo and items/db's were dropping just fine.

The group I was in earlier this morning just must have had the longest string of bad luck I've ever seen. We killed at least a dozen NPC ships and had not gotten a single drop from any of them.

For the love of God, give the brits Urgent Fury back. All they can afford to PvP in is cutters and packet-boats, they need the money ... urgently!

Guildy was saying woes has been reduced, by about 10-20%. he had a series of missions where he got no loot at all, something like 4-5 runs. still evened out long term to around 40-50k an hour in a 4th rate. There have been some changes to those missions,but nothing drastic from what i can tell, probably to reduce the amount of money 1st and 2nd rates bring in farming those missons.

The missions are bad because they do make people ignore PVP/rvr contention. Until FLS provides incentive to get out and grind OS mobs though it wont change, if you nerf missions without providing an alternative people will just quit. additionally these people myself included will not magically go farm in pvp zones or enter pvp zones when farming. There also is not enough OS spawns to really create enough room for everyone. the 8 & 12 ship packs are pretty worthless for what they take, outside of contention.

Even if you triple or quadruple loot/cash drops inside red circles, its only going to focus people into a very narrow area, right on the pirate pvp zone edges, at certain ports where they can get the best income for zero risk.

You can get around that by only giving the bonus loot in full PvP areas not Pirate ones.
