The Loot

[Cawdor]

The Loot. In some rather big games I don't want to name here, its a key element. Sure those games mostly come with ultra-unique/rare items and randomly generated Items, but what do you think about the element in disco?

Right now, the loot is rather ... pointless. It is basically giving you only 3 things:

1. Nomad guns! (yay)
2. Credits (Credit Cards or random commodities)
3. Regens

Since Nomad Guns will most likely not be dropped in the next version, Credits don't matter much since we are talking about really small numbers here and dropped regens are hated by most players as some rather unsprotive PvPers tend to "farm bots" in bigger fights, the loot is somewhat decorative.

Now would it make sense to make codenames only droppable by High level NPCs?
Would it make sense to make them drop stuff like enhanced thrusters, nuke mines, class 10 shields and heavy CM's and remove it from most of the bases to give the loot more weight?

Would it make any sense _at all_ to make the loot more important? As many games just implement it to be a rewarding element to keep the grindage of monsters more interesting as you basically only have to do it for your char's stats.
Would a more important loot make discovery annoying? Or just more addictive and time consuming?
