DUST Search - Loot System idea

Would be nice to be able to pick up some stuff to sell but... If you destroy a ship in EVE it's gone and besides some loot you can get from the cargo bay and from the scrap of the ship if you have a salvage module on hand that's it. So I'm not sure how they are wanting to add that in.

Good idea though.

Perhaps a salvage drone for us merc's. When we kill someone it picks up some ammo and gives it to us so we have some immediate use of some of the salvage perhaps some grenades if the person didn't use theirs. Then some modules such as shield extenders and such. Guns are big and bulky in this game so a little salvage drone wouldn't be able to carry them. Plus this would involve Skills so people couldn't just pick up stuff and sell it they have to put some of those precious SP's toward the salvage drone.

Solution Salvage Drone or as i would call him...... MINI ME! MU HA *cough* *cough* i'll spare you my evil laugh this time...

Also I think currently that is one reason the bodies burn is to destroy any items that could potentially help the other side.

Those on the losing team that were still alive at the end, their items get looted. Because they lose them anyways. So why not let those items they have on them, be the loot. Makes it more realistic.

When you walk up to it, it gives you a quick hack option that allows you to salvage the gun, or equipment that he was carrying when he died? also maybe give the salvager 10 battle points for salvaging it. How can you do that in the middle of the battlefield? you would die soo fast. lol But good idea. You should also do a overload of the shield and give you a bigger boost for a little amount of time. That would be even better. I don't like the thought of changing weapons like that in the middle of battle. If they did it that way, it would have to just add their primary to your secondary or something, and you can't have a pistol equipped or you lose that.. We are onto a good idea :D

Also I think currently that is one reason the bodies burn is to destroy any items that could potentially help the other side. See the issues with that are the drones themselves. I can see having a salvage skill and set up. so you can hack suits.. "before the burn up" Like to take a low slow or the grenade slot, to put salvage hacking computer or sumthing. It would be good to be able to hack just items that are in the mid and low slots.. no weapons. Because the skills might not be known to use that weapon Ect.. But they should have it to where, if you salvage a type of drop suit so many times, you acquire the skill book for that suit. You still in turn need to buy it and use SP to train it. but no more need for the skill book..

Its not an eve-game without killmails. Kill mails would be too freaking crazy.. and numerous.. sorta defeats the purpose.. Maybe kill mails for people you salvage.. cause then u pretty much get their tags and suit information..

If I see one person taking the time out to run supplies and salvage back to a clone bay or where ever. I will personally SHOOT them in the head with a scrambler pistol and kick them outta my corp. That is once corp functionality is added of course. Contracts are worth WAYY more than a dinky little shield extender just sayin. I see what your saying. It might be too much for the servers to handle though. Random AI running around with all of the vehicles and everything else. Just salvaging for Tags would be cool then. Sell the tags and hold them off as Kill Mail too!~ That would work. I like the drone idea, but seems a little ill placed when this is a fps, you know.
