Combat Loot
Combat can be costly both in time and in repair costs. To offset this, we give you XP, combat Skill Experience and ALSO Combat Loot.
Loot takes a few different forms; you can get Minable resources ranging from common, uncommon, to rare. The same goes for refined resources. We also hand out ‘commodity’ based items of loot.
There is a % randomiser that dictates what you get, and based on the type of loot, the amount is set within ranges. The loot goes into your ship’s Cargo Hold.
As you can see from above, we gained 7 Novastone and 2 Circuit Boards for those two kills, plus of course, Level XP and 1 Weapon skill for each kill. Plus, finally, credits.
You will also find that generally killing Pirate ships will earn you Pirate ‘Dog Tags’, these are inserted into your Cargo hold in the ‘Mission Loot’ tab and do NOT take any space.
When you loot items at the end of each kill the ships’ tractor will try to pull in as much as it can of a loot reward, however if you don’t have space it will not be able to, so keep an eye on the messages and go back and empty out (in to Commercial Stores, or Sell up to the local system Vendor).
