The fact this can be dropped instead of gear is beyond comprehension... who is making the gameplay calls at Bungie, is he/she someone that has never played a MMO? I ran with a group last night and was talking to them afterwards, some of these guys had got the shader multiple times as well as the leg. ship... are you seriously counting those drops as loot in place of say a piece of gear or weapon? I sure hope not. I propose: - The Shader should be an auto drop after defeating the first boss - The Leg. Ship should be an auto drop for defeating the last boss - The leg. Sparrow (only because it affects travel within the game world) should be an auto drop from last boss on Hard Mode
