Been on the server this morning and have found a distinct lack of loot from destroyed ships
Killed 12 BH Hammerheads and only got 5 credit cards, not such a big deal, however not 1 pilot! Plent of bats and bots though. Secondly went for Hessians in O47 all in Odin ships and killed 8 and only got 3 hessian pilots.
Has the ship loot been tweaked as previously I would always get a pilot?
Not sure if its a bug, but it is surely different. I have the same experience with Hammerheads. Still getting plenty of civilian pilots though; so maybe its only certain ships
I've run into this situation in Delta not too long ago. Got hit by 4 Titans - 3 normals and 1 guard. When the combat was done, I'd beamed in the Guard pilot - but NOT the regular Corsair pilots.
Umm no it isnt just luck, I have been having the same problem in Alpha killing BH's on missions. I only get pilots from the Cruisers. I hardly ever get them from the fighters anymore. I have also go so far as to carefully whittle an NPC down and killed him with great care thinking that I was perhaps shooting the loot. Turns out I got a gun, no pilot, no credit card.
