I had an incident recently where I was shot down in space and some items were looted that I didnt think would be able to be looted. I filed a support ticket, and based on the response, this was intended. Wanted to share this with the community. Just a fair warning to all - make sure ALL stackables in your ENTIRE inventory are stored before you fly, you might lose something that you thought you couldnt lose.
I assumed the starter pack items wouldnt be lootable since A. they are non-tradeable, and B. the item in question (the H-DNA instant revive items) are stored in the mindforce tab, not the resources or mined resources tab. This is a copy/past of my support ticket and the response I got. I have deleted the support rep's name since I did not receive this person's explicit permission to post what they said...

Hi Kharmi,
We understand that this does indeed sound strange but they are lootable in PVP and was a disicion made after discussions regarding it with both pros and cons.
Stackable items are lootable and the H-DNA counts into that as they are not consumables and still stackable.
We apologize for the inconvenience but this will also lead to another discuss for the future regarding these H-DNA so we thank you for bringing our feelings to our attention from a player perspective.
We are sorry that we cannot do anything for you at this time.
Kind regards,
XXXXX | Entropia Universe Support
So, as you can see - other things can be looted in PVP that you might not have expected. Please be wary and dont feed the pirate machine.

I purchased the Gold Starter Pack and received 3 H-DNA instant revive items. I was shot down in space by XXXXXXX, and looted. I always take extreme care to store all of the items in my materials and mined resources tabs of my inventory, so I can minimize my potential losses while travelling in space. As it turns out, these H-DNA items - which are untradeable - are lootable in PVP. Surely this is not an intended thing? I am guessing that these items are not transferrable by normal means (trade or auction) because they are intended to be limited to only the few items per character which are given. Surely you can see where this could be exploited by someone. I would also suggest that if you are going to allow them to be lootable in pvp, you have them take up space in one of the conventionally lootable tabs of the inventory to help players ensure that they do not inadvertently lose them. They are currently held in the mindforce tab, which I personally thought was not lootable in PVP.
Thank you in advance for the attention to this matter and any clarification you can offer.
PS - I cant remember the actual date of this incident, I am sorry for the lack of information in that regard.
