Thread: Loot Revamp... Nyax vs Corellian Corvette.

With all the spawn camping of Nyax... I've been pondering stuff...


Why weren't the Corvette's tweaked to improve the loot they drop? Tons of high level baddies - easily tougher than Nyax, instanced and with the 1hr boot timer and ticket run made impossible to perma camp in the way static spawns do.


I love the Vette, my gripe is the stupid amount of SBD's up there.


Why not remove the SBD's altogether, those who're going to farm it can do so already even with them there as is. Improve the loot drops up there, stick in a few more NPC's to be a challenge, give the Nova Dark Troopers some loot, increasing the SEA's, clothing etc that drops. It's a beautiful dungeon that works well (albeit with some flaws)- but is highly underused (due to no real feeling of reward once you have the AV and a bank full of marine shirts/chestplates).


I love fighting the Nova Troopers and high end Corsec. The place feels Star Warsy too... cramped corridors, mustn't get strafe happy, can't use combat macro's afk nonstop, must think...


When I was in a guild, that place used to be our favourite dungeon for fun... but there were no rewards for going there... we all had AV-21's and in the end got bored of it once we'd got all the badges.


Please Devs, make some minor tweaks on the Vette to make it as rewarding as it is a fun dungeon.

I agree, I don't understand why one of the easiest mobs i nthe game that could be beaten in seconds drops some of the best loot in the game, then SBD's - Elders which could take 20-30 minutes, don't drop as good of stuff (Very rarely will you get something decent) or nothing at all.

That my friend is a fine idea..High end NPC's, instanced, and fun for a group (minus the SBD's). Nice to see good solutions rather than complaints..

I liked what ya said I also think SBD's should be removed from the vette but I also think they should be removed from the game. Not many ppl on kettemoor go to the vette that much cause it kills their armor from running into the SBD's

The SR Pistol, Laser Rifle, Laser Carbine, 2x Locked Container, Treasure Map, Blue Rug Dye, Blue Rug Thread, Rebel Orders were all junked. That's from an almost emptied Vette. Think we left 12 mobs (barring SBD's, no way am I tanking those for 20 minutes as I'm not wasting sliced armour and good quality guns for no loot ever) alive in total and that's all we got. In comparison, Nyax would have died twice in 30 seconds a piece and had a shot at looting +10 upwards AA's.


Cura is now driving round is a shiny AV though. *flex*


I lost track of the number of 80+ k HAM mobs killed, but it was a lot.


Here's to hoping. The Vette is my fave dungeon though. Took me months to get good at it.

Get a ticket, give me a shout. If you're Rebel we'll do the Assassination mission (it's my favourite), it starts at Bela Vistal from some guy called Pasha or Pashnak. Then we can do one of the Corellian ones (I like the variation).

Will do, next weekend good? I'm busy all of this one, and need to finish off TKA anyway before I go up.

SBD's are easy if you have some pikeman, bh's, swordsmen, fencer and TKM's.

Other than that they are annoying, like one of those loot chest rooms, like 5 SBD's in there! I stand outside the door and open it and no matter what, once you grab whatevers in both the containers, on the last one they agro.

It gets aggrivating.

Also we need a higher chance for a powerplant i went on like 15 throughout a week and nobody there got a powerplant.


Reduce Nyax Loot.

Increase overall Vette Loot.

Please the population.
