Ive often wondered this. Armorsmiths, weaponsmiths, even chefs ( bio tissues) have so much out there to make the product better. Why is there nothing for us DE ? How cool would it be too have some sorta enhanced item drop off a jawa (natural fit off them). Or maybe some sorta part off a mercenary on Lok.
Anything would be nice and really add some life to the game.

This is actually a very interesting question, with a complex answer. Here are a couple ideas.
- Enhanced loot is given out for crafted items that need a boost. Weapons and Armor are necessary to the playing of the game and everyone wants better weapons/armor. Droids are more or less an afterthought. They might be nice or fun, but they are far from being a necessary tool in this game.
- For most modules/subcomps (and now all chassis and deeds) resource quality makes no difference whatsoever, so why have special loot to enhance something without stats?
- Why have special loot when in the near future we will have entertainer buffs that increase the quality of extant resources? Why go out and try to loot something when you can just watch a dancer for a few minutes and get a 10% (or more) boost in resource quality. (I say 'or more' because many resources' statscap at less than 1000, effectively increasing the % boost)
So I guess the simple answer is: No reason to have droids +no reason to have good stats in droids/modules = no reason to have loot enhancemnets for droids.
