I cant get loot unless i play an escort, because its all based on damage in fleet actions, so im pigeon holed into playing a ship i dont want to just get loot, untill this is fixed I will not be returning to this game, yes cryptic, its that big of a deal to alot of us
Dont ignore such a major issue just because people are too busy whining about tirivial things like mini skirts and pointelss pre order bonuses.
A dev reply would be nice on this issue.

Are you sure it works like that? I fly a science ship and i dont appear to be missing out on loot(Round Robin loot option). Also im not convinced escorts do that much more damage than cruisers or science ships anyway, they do spend alot of time with their nose not pointed to the enemy(i.e. running like hell or step two, being dead :D), which equals lower damage.

it is based on DPS at least most of it is so yeah. Higher the damage, higher the score. My Sci or Tac ship almost always gets in the top 5 because of this.

How would you know if they fix looting if you leave? And if instead that just means ghosting the forums waiting for word, that just seems a little....obsessive.

there is a lot dropping with my cruiser too just put 3 plasma turrets in the rear and 2 Quantum launcher and a Dual Phaser in the front and skill rapid fire.
That way even turnrate does not bother me me much....
