We have all played the games where you kill something then loot it and if you find something better or useful you can then now use it yourself how is looting going to be handled and what about new items and such to upgrade and equip your starship ?
As well are you going to be able to disable an enemy ship and capture it or something or is it just kill them or die combat ?

from what we saw at pax, you need to be near something you killed and standard looting

1: Well there will be looting I don't know exactly how it will be handled.
2: Sorry no capturing any ships, you may to disable them for a mission...but so far it looks to be destruction only.

I'm all for sifting throught the wreckage to find that really cool gun they were shooting me with.
Captain 'begin searching the debris'
Exo 'But captain we need to get to base and they didnt have anything but some filter that made their phasers blue . . .'
Captain 'EXACTLY I must have it'
Exo 'But captain . . .
Captain 'SILENCE I SAY'
lol everyone else does these script things wanted to try it out.
Seriously I don't know if this has been answered yet, but I would think they would incorporate it somehow . . .

They are keeping a tight lid on the Economy, PvP, and Death systems for the time being. My guess is that we're in for a real shocker and they don't want any other MMOs in progress to steal their ideas.
Feel free to put in your input, but no, there isn't anything official about those subjects.

Dreadnott, looting is handled like this, you go in, you fight the bad guys, you clear the area of enemies and the I come in and you give me all the loot.
Or the tribble gets it!:D
I guess it will be the same a a.n.e.other mmo with master, round robin etc.

Didn't one of the videos show this? I think after a ship was destroyed a window popped up with the loot and a take or leave option. I could be wrong but I thought I saw that.

Most likely the same way City of heroes is and champions online . Which is good in many ways loots just going to fill everyones bags. Leaving the players to sort out whats useful for whoever.
Hopefully with the sound of the transporter activating if you are looting in space :D

I'm not sure how they'll handle the looting, but always remember:
Loot, then pillage. :)

Yeah - I remember seeing that as well. Not sure if the ground game is going to be automatic like that or if it's going to be more like CO with it's drops.
