I am wondering if there is anything worthtackling on Endor or Yavin just traveling about the surface. I am hearing good things about running Faction missions as well.

Obviously there are wondrous places where the special, dedicated, flush-with-cash-and-prime-equipment might hunt, such as NS Caves, Geo cave, Nyax, Fort Tusken, DWB, etc. But what about the lower tier folk who haven't the money or equipment to compete damage wise on a Nyax spawn or elsewhere? What are the loot options for random encounters, is what I am wondering.
For myself, I understand pretty well that I am not going to be outdamaging anyone anytime soon on these precious spawns, so I opt for walkabouts on planets looking for NPCs to take down, and or pull missions with these NPCs for loot. I used to think that the Aa'kuan cave was too low quality on the totem pole to have many people wandering through it, yet I have never seen it empty of PCs (though almost always empty of Aa'kuans).
Walkabouts on Dathomir are fine,and there are the Aa'kuan missions on Talus, and pulling faction missions can get you some ranged weapons with moderate poisons, but what else is out there? On the ground, I mean. JtL is a different beast entirely, and selling loot from there is profitable if mainly because one is paying upkeep on their ship rather than several sets of buffs, food, armor, weapons, etc.
C'mon, some help for the little guy?

Whats your Template? If your Swordsman or Rifleman with some Medic you should be able to take on most mobs in the game solo.
I find Geo Caves very good for loot and usually loot 1mil plus worth a Geo Cubes\Pastes when I'm down there. Sets of 7 Yellow Cubes and Pastes tend to go for 300k plus on our server and alwaysthe chance of looting a decent Geo pistol or dxr6 rifle. If you have any elite combat prof and some medic you should be fine - one you get in then its pretty easy to run round the rooms that spawn the Crazed Geonosians and the Mercs. You could always just camp otu the first bit of the cave as well, as 4 Crazed Geonosians respawn every few minutes there. Just watch out as they quite often pull out a Geo Pistol on you and if you have no stun armour you can get hit quite hard.
NS Forced Labour camp or Stronghold are also pretty good as well, just try and pick them off a few at a time. And make sure you examine them first as some of the NS are 100% resistant to a lot of types of damage. (swordsmen are ok with all of them)
Another easy way of making cash from low end mobs is to go to the Woolamander Temple on Yavin or King Gurk hunting on Lok. They drop RIS loot (occasionally) and this sells for a reasonable ammount. Go to Woolamander temple, and once your at the entrance the Woolamander Harrowers that drop the loot spawn in the far right of the temple (2 of them)- they respawn about every 15mins or so now and sometimes drop the Bone Fragments used in RIS. On Lok look for Gurk spawns that have a Feral Gurk in them (shows as red on radar) and keep hitting the nest and it should spawn a Gurk King kill this and loot it and it may drop the King Gurk Hides used in RIS.
