It was like this before the patch as well. The stream seemed to start drying up about a week ago, right around the same time they took out the 92.2 reward engine.

The difference between today and yesterday is Kessel is pretty much EMPTY now. Spots that used to be booming with activity 24/7 are now lucky to have about seven enemies buzzing about.

I say we should just get the best we can . . . .

Sure this engine is good and all, but theres better stuff out there somewhere.

I loot good engines which is free w00ht!

Ive suspected lowering in loot drops in space, but figured maybe i just had a bad run. This morning i did the first circuit on a teir4 duty mission, and only looted ONE part. Killed a few more odd mobs and didnt get anything but credits.

When you think about it, with sony lowering group mission payouts to reduce the inflation, theres no way SOE would put in the chassis part buying option, and leave the part loot drop as high as it was. So i would not be surpised if they did infact lower the loot drop rate. The vendory buying option was to reduce database clutter most likely, so they wouldnt nerf that, the only other option was to lower the drop rate.

So much for theory's, what are people acutually seeing in loot drops?

Where should we go for good loot? I've been searching for better engine than the 92.2 one I have for weeks, but among the 30+ engines that I'velooted so far, the best is 79.9 and it has huge mass since it's a level 8.

Me and my buddies are not having any problem with loot. We are getting loot for almost every kill. We did find that if you camp a spot the loot seems to dry up. I would say hit a spot move to another then Jump to a new system.

I was helping a guildmate earlier this morning with his 2nd Tier 4 mission, and most of the loot drops are between lvl 2 and 5, with onlya few lvl7-8 stuff. Shouldn't Tier 4 ships drop lvl7-10 stuff?

I did notice a decrease in loot. When I first started JTL my inventory would quickly full up with looted parts but now I never reach full capacity.

Lol didn't you read the announcement last week? They said they were going to increase the space loot drops. What that really means is they lowered them. I've already noticed the trend of what they say they did vs what they really did. If they said they fixed a problem with clicking on the ticket collector, you will now have problems clicking on the ticket collector. If they said they fixed warping, you will now have a problem warping. Same thing with pet poofing. They said they fixed it and poof, now my pet does it. (that was a very very old example)

Average take in of loot (valued at 1500 per level) a week ago 220k. Average last 3 nights: 130k.


You do the math.


Part of this is due to the HIGH volume of level 1-2 loot I've been pulling off of tier 4-5 mobs in Endor and Kessel whereas a week ago my average piece was level 7.

I've been getting the same amount of loot as usual. Went up last night and got some decent loot.
