static random where you cant reload to get other result is nice way to find fix this issue.

Yeah I can't believe I forgot about that, that is also a decent solution.
Right now you can also reload to get different items to spawn in lockers, with a huge potential difference in item quality between reloads.
It really would make a difference.

The random items are generated first time you enter the area.

Yeah, so if you have a save before the entrance to an area you can use it to walk in and see different items each time, individual areas can be pretty small. (not a bad thing)
What the other poster means by static random is you generate a seed for each new game, save it and use that one seed in the number generator of systems that shouldn't change their outcomes when you reload a save. Obviously you don't have to use the fixed seed for everything, you can exempt combat and other things easily.

Yes, since first version i saved game before first visiting Engineering and Shooting Floor, so it'd benice (for me) if game use seed, that generate item for all game, so i can not use this boring tactic.
