along with this there use to be combat only resources. things in game you could only find through combat. things that were needed to build things in game that were important. I was MIA from the game for a while, but now that I'm back I've noticed this doesn't seem to be the case anymore. there are things which can only be obtained through combat, but it seems the main use for them is for a select few NPC missions.
I know from reading the forums for years that people use to complain about combat only resources, those who didn't like combat not liking that they couldn't collect certain things in game. the Ip investment to be proficient in combat for someone's level can be expensive, weapon skill, shield skill, drone skill, targeting skill, and scan tech skill. I know some of these overlap, but there is also the cost of building or buying matrix, combat drones, and EBK kits & Omega drones. it is an investment to do combat, and yes the XP can be good if you do it right and love clicking.
what I was wondering was if this was an intentional move away from combat specific resources, or if it was something that has been overlooked when adding new things in other parts of the game. I do understand there are resources you can get from AI's but you can also get those resources from derelicts. I wouldn't ask for mine only resources to be added to combat loot, that makes it worth it for miners, nor for derelict only resources to be added to combat or mining loot, but that each occupation/role in game has their own specific loot. the only thing I can think of which is combat only that has some importance in building currently is cure-all and maybe synthetic silk, but I believe the that one can be found in derelicts and exploring too.
so if this was an intentional move why was it? and if not could it be possible for either combat resources to be used again? or maybe there are so few folks who do combat everyone likes it this way and doesn't want combat only loot anymore 'cause the xp is enough and they don't want to have to buy stuff from those pesky combat people.
