So I got JTL a little less then a week ago...I love it, its a great break from the regular grinding on the ground and I can't wait to do some stuff with my friends in my YT-1300... I'm 3-4-3-3 on the freelancer tree....
When I first started at tier 1 I got some really nice pieces of equipment (less then a week ago like I said)::
A Reactor that produces <13K that weights a little over 3k
A Capacitor that regens at about 47, has a 980's power capacity, weighs about 10-15k
A Shield Gen ~1500 front/rear, 17recharge, wieght around 12k
I also found some armor and guns that are decent... at 13sec droid interface that weights about 8-9k
Okay..so in the last few days, not only has the amout of space loot seemed to drop DRASTICLY ( i couldn't keep my inventory empty before), the stuff I am getting is horrible in comparison, for a comparable Reactor weights are like 20-30k plus, same thing for the Capacitors and I havn't seen anything close to the one I have. Now mind you I got what I am useing off of tier 1 and 2 craft, and as things became more and more difficult I was looking forward to getting better things (like shields) to make things a little more managable against higher tier ships...
Now my biggest concern is makeing what I have last long enough to be able to get a ship that has the mass capabilites to carry what I am finding...the way things are going I'm going to need a StarDestroyer to house all this stuff thats weighing in 30k a piece lol
So far my favorite ship is the little Kihraxz (Black Sun) type 4 - just one gun - one missle setup, but it seems to handle the best and is very fast/maneuverable which allows me to keep up with Ties and other small craft as well as dog alot of blaster fire when I'm swarmed, but how am I going to put a decent shield in it if I can only find ones that weight 30k?? I can deal with only having one gun and chipping away at targets but not if I can't take any more hits then a Tier 1 NPC fighter lol
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed...or maybe they nerfed the loot drops recently (in the last week), if they did maybe I missed a post on it 
Anyways...thanks for any input on this (or just takeing the time to read my jibberish lol)

Level 10 stuff is supposed to be heavy.
Try my 4.5 damage guns that weight 65k mass. Or my level 10, 7 droid speed brain that weighs 55k. Only thing that can fit all that is a Master POB ship. It's why you have to outfit your ship based on your flight style. I love it.

i've had JTL for 6 days and im 1/1/1/1 rebel pilot (im a slow grinder) and in my first night i filled up my inventory and made my z-95 twice as good as stock. then when i got my y-wing i was able to use some of the heavier things i looted and was very happy. in the first 2 nights i got like 10-12 lvl 5+components. since then i've filled my inventory once (note: i go slow but i figured i shoulda filled it up 3 -5 times) and recieved a total of 2 lvl 5+ components and im fighting bascially the same stuff. so yah, i've noticed it too. but all the master ppl who only fly in kessel and deepspace say they are getting MORE, better loot now a days so maybe they only tweeked the tier 1 - 2 spawns. idk; my 2 cents

I seemed to get more stuff off of level 2 and 3 imp ships then the higher level ships
I went overt at Dant and it was non-stop fighting against swarms of them, given how many I was killing I would say that the xp per hour must be close if not better then hunting high level ships...and being overt you get faction points.
Someone said that level 10 stuff is supposed to go into master ships....well no duh lol
Maybe my post just wasn't clear, I have a Level 3 or 4 Reactor, I generates over 13k of power, it weights slightly over 3k...Now any reactor I get that is close to that power level weights 10 times that amount...
My question is wether or not they changed something, or maybe I just havn't found another good low level reactor or any other component...I'm going to post something on my Galaxy forums, but if anyone has a good amount of quality space loot on Kettemoor would love to get an in game message from you, I've been to every vendor on Tat, alot of Corellia..anways...

good but its not good to use a thin skinned reactor that blows out easy but it can good, until it blows out real quick.
A Capacitor that regens at about 47, has a 980's power capacity, weighs about 10-15k
overload it and watch what happens.. bye bye looking for more caps.
A Shield Gen ~1500 front/rear, 17recharge, wieght around 12k
sounds like a quality crafted with a limiter for recharge
I also found some armor and guns that are decent... at 13sec droid interface that weights about 8-9k
try to collect parts for RE. Dont sell even level comps over level 4 to the chasis dealers, especially even level engines. Most shipwrights will pay double sometimes. And if you save them your selve for RE they get really good. My best is a cannon .7 shields .68 armor, 3850 max dmg, 2700 min, and the thing thats crazy is its 13.5 energy per shot level 8 RE. it overloads very nicely.

horde your loot i say again, the non pilot shipwrights crusade to TOTALLY remove loot and RE will never end. Hah! Let them I say. They'd only increase the value of my horde.

No just RE your stuff to make it fit or run an 8k gen 750 mass overloaded 4reactor, just make sure you have enuff armor surronding it,.
So far my favorite ship is the little Kihraxz (Black Sun) type 4 - just one gun - one missle setup, but it seems to handle the best and is very fast/maneuverable which allows me to keep up with Ties and other small craft as well as dog alot of blaster fire when I'm swarmed, but how am I going to put a decent shield in it if I can only find ones that weight 30k??

capacitor to shield droid program, with your fast droid it will be all u need

I know
and thank you for noticeing!!
I actually came up with the name randomly (wasn't thinking about a connection with 'gameing' just looking for a unique name) when I started playing Shadowbane...Later I found the def in the dectionary for it and thought it was somewhat appropriate...(I also have Tamin my alt, but I don't think it has any meaning lol)
ohh..and I nagged a level 8 reactor that generates 38k power and weighs about 20k, kinda nice I think (i stared at the number for like 3 minutes lol)...anyone else have unique Loot? Or does this just fall under the 'good' catagory lol
DUDE thats a freakign NICE reactor!!

It seems to me when you start hunting high lvl ships you get alot less loot. I can take me X-wing and do 6 Black Sun duty missions and not get enough loot to half way fill my inventory.

Wow...Thanks a TON everyone
I hope some of this stuff helps other people to..I'm going to start holding on to more of what I find, I've probably already sold or destroyed too much 
I have noticed though that the med level ships..like teir 3 to 4 seem to drop more stuff, I think I got that 38k reactor off a level 3 or 4 so some of the loot is def good.
The most fun I've had is going overt and being swarmed by a ton of low to mid level stuff...Great FP farming and alot of safe action and my inventory seems to fill nicely to (and killing 5 or 6 ships every minute or two worth about 600-1k each it has to be comparable to going after the high end ships for xp'ing)
