I'm having a hard time understanding the penalty associated with pickups on the individual planets. That penalty being what amounts to a five pickup restriction before your pickup fizzles upon receipt... no inventory gained. I think i understand the WHY of it... to do away with the ability to zone/rezone that people were taking advantage of that allowed already looted chests to be lootable again and again.
This is a penalty to everyone, rather than fixing an issue that a small portion of the community was taking advantage of.
Are there plans to remove this cap and instead fix the problem? As it is, faction running goes like this:
- Pick up 5 things... chests or materials
- Reach the cap where your loot fizzles upon pickup
- Grab a patrol and fly by a dozen more loot opportunities that you can't take advantage of
- Finish the patrol and get your one token
- Find a pickup and hope that your time in the loot penalty box has passed
Doesn't seem right to me.

That's because it isn't right.. Instead of fixing the chest on Nessus the nerf put a restriction on everyone.. Isn't that great.
