It is supposed to give you a higher percentage chance on loot.. not sure if it does anything for creds..

Without extensive testing (using statistically valid methodology), it's impossible to say whether the skill actually affects loot drop rates or quality.
Since I doubt anyone has ever conducted any such testing well enough to say whether the skill mod is broken or not, you're unlikely to get a definitive answer.
Anecdotal evidence abounds: "My buddy got the Luck branch, and then he looted five Jedi CAs over the next 2 days!" ... "I got the Luck branch, and all I get is a few more measly credits!" etc. Take it for what it's worth: very little.
Please don't take this as a flame, anyone. 
It's not meant that way at all.

I had the luck branch on my main character for over 9 months before giving it up. I looted one great loot with it which were 281 max acklay bones. I never looted anything decent really off anything else in the game. Exccetpional drops i got with my alt no luck branch, uber ca's and aa's he also looted. IMO the only truly useful fs branch available is fs experimentation for crafters. The rest of the branches do so little it doesnt make a difference which ones you do.
