I went through the Aqualish cave on Talus 4 times. Out of the noted mobs that drop crystals:
47 lost aqualish marksman: 1 color crystal
54 lost aqualish bomber: 1 color crystal
6 lost aqualish marshall: 0 crystals
During one of my trips through, 1 color crystal also dropped from a lost aqualish commando (wasn't on the list of mobs that dropped them). I'm not sure if this was supposed to happen, but figured I'd mention it.
Overall, for color crystals I'm fairly satisfied with the drop rate although I wouldn't mind seeing it upped a little more. What I don't want to see is players farming these things and selling them for millions of credits.

57 Nightsisters = 1 dmg crystal
28 Lokian Pirates = 0 crystals
100+ various other NPC's= 0 crystals
p.s. the one dmg crystal, that came off a Nightsister Stalker, said it was a "good" crystal. After I tuned it, it was:
-1/-1 dmg
-0.26 spd
1 wound
-5 HAM
-8 FC
Some of the "poor" freebie crystals were better than this one by far. Is it intended to be this random? I think the range of possible stats needs to be tightened.

If they are going to keep this stupid loot drop scheme for crystals... how hard is it to set the rate the same as something like NS lances, gurk king hides or something similar? Jeezus this can't be that fricking hard can it?

4-5 sets of Lok pirates (up to elite canyon corsairs, no 'marooned' pirates), zero drops, 4+ pirates per set (so 16-20 pirates).

400 + (it was 10 or 13)
so
412 ewoks = 0 color / damage, crystals.
Think i'll take a break this weakend befor I try to go kill another couple hundred.

I just played for a few hours wandering from the mining post to the abandoned rebel base on Dantooine.
3 Novice Force Mystics = 1 brown color crystal
4 Mokks, (hunters and scouts) = 0
3 Kunga scouts = 0
I think I may have gotten lucky, as that is the first time I have looted a crystal except on live which was in a locked container that I kept in my house for months until I became a smuggler.

Interesting theory about the luck skill. I had it before reroll dont have it now though. It didnt seem to bring much luck. When I looted the color crystal from the one of a pair of Novice Force Mystics on Dantooine, I did so with a MBH that I made a few hours ago. My untrained padawan was following me in assist mode. I will have to try looting with the jedi to see how it goes.
