Well, a few comments.
First, I think it was a good idea, and a bad idea to remove the open schematics for some of this loot. Good, because there are lots of people that would rather just buy the item (yes, that includes me, call me lazy) and would not get off thier butts and go look for it, negating the point of creating new loot you have to hunt for. Bad because it inflates an already over-inflated economy even further. I say it would have made more sense to sell the loot items from a junk dealer for exorbitant prices AND have the schematics, so you would have a black hole and price fixing on the loot.....after all, who is going to buy the item from a crafter for 250000 when they can buy it from a junk dealer for 150k? If you cant afford either, you go and hunt for the schematic and get a crafter to make it for you.
Second, note the new hunting activity.....instead of the dull spawn camping grind, you have people running all over looking for the stuff...I think this was a good idea.
Third, this is the FIRST pass. They are watching. If the loot drop rates are bad and the items are starting to sell for 250k, I bet they will increase the loot drop AND they will give something nifty for imps to loot off rebs.
I say good job on the first pass, this wasnt one item, this was a good chunk of items across the board, something for everyone. The real complaint, as I see it, is it is not easy for EVERYONE to get every item available. Some items will be hard to get for non-JTL, or Rebs, or Imps. This, IMHO, is how it should be.
Just think of my frustration.....im nuetral. No reb or imp killin for me. Where is that recruiter...........

I don't understand, I run the lost aqualish cave at least twice a day, and tusken bunker/fort tusken every other day, yet I've not found a single piece of new loot at any of those locations since this "pass" hit. Granted, I am Imperial, which may have something to do with it (although I got a Luke poster off the stormtroopers in The Warren, only "new" loot I've found). I haven't been attacking Aukans (sp) as I have +5000 faction with them and considered them friends...guess I'll have to rethink that if I want to find any of the datapad stuff...
In any case, I'm still fairly disappointed in this "loot revamp." One of two factions is ignored completely (don't bother telling me to quit whining our time will come...tell a smuggler that and you'll get your throat slit, so why should Imps think we'll ever get loot?), and the neutral drops are so rare that they're nearly ridiculous. I play on average 4 to 6 hours a day, and up to 10 hours on days I'm off from work, yet the Luke Wanted Poster is the only thing I've found since the revamp. Something just isn't working right here...

I've been able to loot several data terminal schematics from the TKs and a couple of Luke posters.
I went to both the hyperdrive facility and weapons facility, killed at least 40 Dark troopers and a number of TKs. The result......
2 stacks of C12s and 1 stack of Glop grenades. 
All in all though, I think this can be the start of a great thing as long as it continues cough*** Cries of Alderaan *** cough
/looks foward to Phase 2 loot pass with anticipation

I read through most of this post.. granted not everything. I think we all agree that the loot pass right now is slanted towards the Rebel faction with regards to a number of items. While this is great for me on Kauri, it sucks on Chilastra.
This may have been mentioned in another thread or this one but what about.....
When Imps kill Rebels, you get Rebel propaganda posters. Posters that denounce the Empire, "Free Wookies", "Remember Alderaan", etc. Posters that are reminiscent of those used by the US during World War II, rally to the cause as it were.Maybe even throw in the coveted Imperial banner in a schematic craftable by tailors or even just the banner itself.
It would help to create balance in the economy and keep the factional price gouging to a minimum if there were factional items that both side wanted.

Found a Cafe Table Schematic on an RSF Commando on Naboo shortly after patch went live.
Found two "No Division" Posters on Comp Force Imperial NPC's, and a Scout Trooper (white, part of a patrol) On Yavin.
And can't find a Bubble Tank Schem to save my life...

Here is what I have found so far to verify. I am imp, so no posters for me unless you count looting them off the bazaar for 6k each hehe.
Tatooine Tapestry schematic - random spawning tusken, think it was a captain
Elegant Cabinet schematic - Aqualish in the Lost Aqualish cave
Bubble Tank schematic - Nym Droidekka on a Nym destroy mission
