Would a listing by type of loot not also be instructive?

Yes, but I just wanted some very simple numbers for this study.

Updated to this point.

Tonight's short run:

99k chip

1: 0
2: 0
3: 3
4: 5
5: 0
6: 3
7: 4
8: 4
9: 6
10: 6

31 total

Went back yet again:

Credit chip - 107k

1-0
2-1
3-4
4-2
5-6
6-3
7-3
8-3
9-7
10-2

Total: 31

This was a pretty bad night in my book. 2 lvl 10 pieces and they were both armor. Together they only give me 1k from the chassis dealer

Yeah, I'm noticing a disproportionate amount of armor, too.

Lot of L10/lesser RE DIs, too. That's kind of a "cheat."

Another run last night:

Credit chip - 153k

1-0
2-3
3-6
4-5
5-7
6-6
7-4
8-2
9-8
10-4

Total: 45 pieces

Not a great night again, but I did get a few keepers. It's good that Tomo is adding this all up over time because I think I'd be skewing the results with my bad luck lately.

I didn't have very much time to fly last night (taking advantage of 2x exp on the ground) so I tried something different during my short flight: 30 minutes in Kessel, hyper out, and straight into DS for 30 more minutes.

In Kessel I got a fair secltion of items, all ranging from lvl 7 to lvl 10... some stuff to keep for future REing (2 weapons even... wow!) and some worthless items to sell.

In DS I got quite a bit more credits for the same time spent, but not a single piece of loot.

Shorter run tonight:

Credits looted: 105,372

Items Looted: 30

1 - 0
2 - 0
3 - 3
4 - 3
5 - 3
6 - 3
7 - 3
8 - 5
9 - 5
10 - 5

^ kind of a weird/coincidental pattern, ain't it?

Spread:

Armor - 4
Booster - 4
Cap - 5
DI - 4
Eng - 1
Re - 2
Sh - 7
Weap - 3

Two keepers in this lot, but they're not exceptional. I got better loot trolling the vendor search prior to launching and spending FAR less than I made in DS.

To also add some perspective to these numbers, keep in mind that most of the times that I attacked a group of Gunships/Decimators, the masses of escort fighters seemed to come at me from clear across the system, so eventually I had to deal with them as well(and the few of them that dropped loot are included).

I didn't log type or levels.

But my average was 1 loot drop per 5,45 kills.

Thanks for the bump, was just muttering to myself earlier today about how I needed to go dig this up.

I'll add up all the new numbers in the next day or so.

As a contrast to my previous numbers: Kessel Loot

Call me crazy, but those Kessel runs sound like they're bringing in much better items (not in terms of stats, that's random, but in terms of level and more importantly, type of component) then my DS runs or my Tier 4 duty runs.
