its completely random

and you're ideas are just what is expected from someone who doesn't keep record of what he loots.

you will remember the good old days and terrible present.

COUNTER EVIDENCE

i have done @ 40 runs in all, all the same mission.

last 8, 4 plants, and 2 in one of those missions

to recap.... its random, and keep records, good ones, before you spout half baked theories, it will help you see that for yourself before you show us here.

Half baked thoeries? I've been testing this and keeping track, I stopped counting at 20 mission without a powerplant. Seems little more than random, I tried the same mission with one of my alts and got 2 right off, another one next mission, and two more again afterwards. That's 3 missions, 5 powerplants.

I went back to my main character. 4 missions in row without a powerplant. That's why I wanted to compare results, without people trying to insult me for it.

This doesn't seem random now. Compare, one character, ZERO powerplants from 20+ runs, another character on same server 5 powerplants from 3 runs. Both same missions.

This isn't a half baked theory with those numbers suggesting it. Why flame me for this?

And another issue, I am not grinding away at the corvette, that gets old really fast. I just did it for a while because people wanted it and were paying me. Most of it recently was just gathering information about the drop rates. I've got a bunch of PP now in storage and I'm not in a hurry to do anything with them.

Now that would be something to loot, lol. Your own personal SBD. Then they will get nerfed.

Something big I forget to put in here. The time frame of all these missions. I've done more than I would like to remember over last week. Some others might be comparing their numbers to over a course of a month or so, which would exlain the big differences in results.

EDIT: That's not the only change. Somebody pointed out that you could skip unlocking the meeting room and trigger it thru the door. The doors no longer open when locked, this was very recently fixed silently.

Yeah, but the five aggro limit is still in place it seems, although the SBD spawns seem to have been toyed with so that they now show up at choke points.
