I filled my inventory all to fast yesterday so I would have to say that it was a fluke, or I was real lucky!

Well, i went thorugh not even 2/5ths of a duty mission. Had looted 8 parts, 3 of which were lvl 8 engines. Offhand id say either some folks just had a real bad run or i had a good one. *shrug*
Best bet is loot ratio is just totally random

I was just messing around last night taking on any spawn sights I came across in the Endor space (didn't know where the Black Sun spawn was) and in Dant space and was very surprised after taking about 20K in xp to find I only had 2 lvl 2 and 3 lvl 1 loots. I was taking on Lvl 3 and 4 targets. Very disappointing, I usually have a full load by then. Savoy

after starting a new char thats rebel and doing the rebel duty missions for all tier1 boxs the whole time lastnight i got 3 or 4 parts none of them over lvl1. that was out of 5 duty missions. If the drop rate really has been lowered i feel sorry for us and people in the shipwrite field because that means prices will go up. Man i hope this is not true. They need to bring the old loot drop back not decrease it.

I have noticed it too. In fact I spent about 1 hr in deep space trying to get some level 10 loot. I got 3 level 2 items, 1 level 7 item, and 1 level 9 item. I get a better loot drop rate and better level loot from the tier 1's in Tatooine!!

Seems that it was just a fluke. I went into Kessel last night and filled the inv at a normal rate. I got another black sun s&d mission this morning and got normal loot dropds. /shrug

God i hope its just a fluke. Aquiring and tending to space loot is "the only" content master pilots have, Reducing this by any means will severely reduce the number of folks enjoying space or flying in space. Ill have to check tomorrow for myself and see what my loot ratio and volume turns out. *fingers crossed* :/

I did quite a bit of looting last night. On one run I filled my inventory in less than an hour. On the other it was closer to two. This is by hitting a constant tier 3 spawn. And this range is pretty much what I've come to expect over the last couple months. Doesn't look like anything major changed to me.

I was out last night, made 3 loot runs, and filled my inventory all 3 times. I see no evidence of a loot nerf so far...

I used to be able to pull at least 5-15 level 6-10 loot in one Black Sun sortie. Last night I think I pulled 4 pieces leveled 2,5,7,9. So not really sure about that. But, the day before I pulled 2 lev 10 blasters in one run. Who knows?

I noticed a distinct cut in loot, probably by half in doing Tier 4 missions in Endor and Dath. The SW community has been screaming for this for months, maybe they got what they wished for.
My duty missions and trips up to Deep Space and Kessel are giving me the exact same amount and levels of loot as they ever were. Loot hasn't been changed since November. Also, I'd ask you not to make up things like "the shipwright community wants loot nerfed," as any serious reading of our forum will show the vast majority of us want to preserve loot the way it is. If we want changes, it's to boost some of our crafted items, not to nerf the one thing about JTL that provides constant content past master.

I've noticed the same.
I killed 60+ tier 4 NPCs before I got a drop.
Greatly down since the publish.
Stealth nerf? Or some bug?
