So everyone HATES "Kaz" and Rufus and thats because they serve as nothing but an irratation but what if we make where when you kill them they drop some nice enh. drops a "very unique enh" at a rare chance but capable of getting. Zlarrs,Thari,Stealth,*Color*Exhaust,etc... then at a higher chance we give the player Adv. enh slightly less rare but still rare and so on down the enh. but only offer improved and above with improved being a fairley common drop

I'm pretty sure they already do this. Players used to go "elite hunting" for a reason.

Actually, elites stopped dropping rare/good enh a long time ago.

They prob wont add the drops back due to some changes being made in the system. also they are pushing for ppl to buy ehn more then they ever have before. Elite hunting is no longer worth it tho they say drop rates have not changed but we all know it has. some of the devs (Not saying names) Have even said yes the drop rates have been changed to get next to nothing. So yea thats my $2 on the sitch. You want rare ehn then just gonna have to find a player who has them and wants to trade for them, other then that your outta luck.

elite hunting was the only fun in this game plus alot of free to play players will never buy and that was there only way to get good enhancements they could never get damage buffs just defence buffs and some range enhancements
it was pointless to remove them peolpe who can pay would never use enhanced upgrades they would buy the best and people who actually used the enhanced will never pay for anvanced another reason why some people left that was alot of fun and it helped the cominity
player comunity not dev bandwith prices i dont want this game to die as much as the next guy but you dident up your revinue one bit by low balling the poor players

I've gone over the SVN log and haven't found any evidence of elite drops being changed at all since they were introduced. As for non-elite drops, AI ships had their drop rates nerfed in May 2010. I've decided, after some discussion, to revert that change for now so hopefully the "poor" players can get some better drops from AI ships (which are now the same as drops from when a player ship is destroyed).
Again, if you feel for whatever reason that drops aren't working "correctly", please don't hesitate to mention it. Please be aware, however, that their *is* a chance a destroyed ship drops nothing.

i remember around a year ago doing some elite hunting we would organise a time for the fleet to go hunting. this gave a chance for the players that didn't have creds to gain some good stuff & press aswell. other factions would allie which made it even more fun. alot of the players that play DS play because it's free, some players can't afford to buy creds due to lack of income. some players might not be old enough to work and dont have credit cards or paypal. so when the new players join the DS family they soon relise they need enhancements but they cant so they quit. i just feel that a fun part of the game is missing and could be helpfull to the player base if the elites droped good enh, maybe a small % chance on rare or unique. thoughts?

I can find no evidence of the drop rates for anything being changed around half a year ago, or even a year ago, or even at all.
