I haven't played for a couple of months, but when I recently started again I noticed a problem with solo grouping. Can we no longer do solo grouping and keep all the credits for our missions, or did they nerf it for us? Was the solo group just set up wrong for the group I was in? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
you can work around this with droids, pets, at-st's.
There is a grouping tricks out there on the web.

Nope, they took that away. Now your portion of mission payouts are based on number of people in the group. If the group number goes up or down after you selected your mission, your portion of payout also goes up or down.
However, the group members still have to be within a certain distance to obtain part of the payout. Meaning they can't stay in the MO and get paid, while you go out 3K and complete the mission.

So does the extra credits go back to the few people in the area when I complete a mission, or does it simply disappear? And what would possess SOE to do this?

If the people in your group are near enough to you, then yes, they get a percentage of the payout. If no one from your group is nearby, then the remaining amount of the mission that was not paid to you, is just removed from the system, i.e. nobody gets it.
SOE did this because the crafters were no longer the ones holding ALL of the wealth. Some of the fighter classes were actually getting large sums of money. There wasa large amout of complaining that the people that were grinding Force Sensitive XP by taking missions were making way to much money and XP.
Also, by doing this they achieved something else. Do you join a solo group for a insanely harsh payout cut but get max XP from kills? Now your no longer making bank. Perhaps you group with a low level pet for the smaller, but whole, mission payout and take a cut in XP? Now the FS has been slowed down, but your making more money then with a solo group.
But it takes time to get good loot. I've gone through a full buff and not looted anything worth selling. But when I do, I get enough money to get new equipment when it's time.
