Question about the 5% bandit item drop.
Is it 5% per bandit killed? or 5% per combat attempt if 1 or more bandits are dead.
Such as if I wipe out a party of 8 in one shootout, do I still only have a 5% chance for that engagement because one of them died, or do I get the 5% from all 8 guys I popped?
Where can I find a list of items that could be dropped by bandits?
Or there's just any?
I mean... might this be a way to get Mandalorian Suit parts? :)
If it's in the game (and can be equiped and found in the fitouts) then there is a(n extremely small) chance of having it drop (someone even managed to get a VLocker O_o)

Edit: This isn't the first time Tiali has posted misinformation in the help forums, has been told such, and yet continues to do so. Any ASim: does this warrant a forum ban?

That is no excuse. It does more harm than good when someone tries to be helpful but only spread false information to anyone who reads the thread. That creates additional questions in the future both here and on IRC detracting from time which could be better spent developing and working issues in the game.
Tiali, your post, now edited, is still incorrect. The Stouker is a weapon which is "restricted" by the NR. Yet that item has dropped. So again, stop posting misleading/incorrect information. What is your source or are you making all this up?
Tiali, with your most recent edit can you provide a source that states one of every item was added to the NPC fitouts? Excluding the "rare" and "unique" caveat made by yourself. But on that topic... I can provide a source, which was posted a while back by someone who's actually working on Bandit combat, that states at least one rare item made it onto the fitouts. In other words, when are you going to delete your post and stop with the guessing games?
Elijah, stop. You've pointed out that her information is wrong, and validated your assertion. Anyone reading the thread should be able to figure out to disregard her post. There is no further value to your... heckling.

“Jesfa has said repeatedly that once there is enough fitouts, he would eventually work some of the rarer items in, so you'd have a VERY SMALL chance of getting something rare.
Also, we're talking combine rare as in the admin have restricted them, not game rare when factions are just being selfish. Those items will be much more frequent.
Thank you for proving my point again. Hal asked me to stop but since you brought it up again I feel this simple response is warranted. If you still have an issue I recommend you contact me via DM.
I have a 10% chance of being Force Sensitive (at least that's what the general event said so long ago). If I'm Force tested right before I kill a bandit, I have a better chance of being Force Sensitive than getting a blaster out of that dead bandit.... Isn't that a bit odd? Considering the likelihood of running into bandits- especially if I'm looking for them.
Are there any discussions going on to make it more likely that you'd get something other than XP for these encounters? How about credit drops?
Given that you get checked for Force Sensitivity ONCE every 5 levels, and you get a 5% chance on EVERY bandit... I fail to see that there's any relationship between the two percentages at all.
You have a 1 in 20 chance that any hostile NPC you kill will leave behind a piece of usable equipment (something not shot full of holes, blown up, broken hitting a rock when he collapsed). Given that we're supposed to be a player-driven, faction production economy, not a mob-drop based economy, I'd say that's pretty good.
