Loot

== System Overview ==
While little in the way of details has been released regarding loot, as of December 8th, we have an accurate basic outline of the system:
*Unlike other MMOs, Jumpgate Evolution does not spawn a need/greed roll for loot.
*When an NPC (or a player in PvP combat) is defeated, zero or more loot crates are spawned.
**Each crate will be "owned" by an individual player who contributed to combat in a meaningful way.
**Each player who is counted as a contributor can only own a single crate.
**Each crate will contain random components.
**If the crate is not claimed, it will eventually become available for anyone to pick up.
*Defeated enemies will have appropriate loot. In other words, a Quantar light fighter may have a very different loot table from a Capital ship or an Inferno pirate.
*Looting a crate is an active task, it will require targeting the crate and choosing to loot it (via a button or key-press).
*Each crate will contain a random component.
*Loot can be equipped, used in crafting, or sold on the Auction House.
Hermann "Draker" Peterscheck, Jumpgate's Producer at NetDevil, does not feel point-and-click interfaces are appropriate to twitch combat. Anything that draws a player's attention away from a dogfight and into an interface will often have catastrophic results. The loot system in JGE seems to reflect this philosophy.
