Let me repeat what has been said about DS.
IT IS A PVP ZONE!!! You go there to kill other players. I sure don't have any other reason. I have excelent parts and I'm a Freelance so I can't farm faction.
It is not ment for farming parts. If you want to farm parts go somewhere else. Those of us that pop in to DS for PvP, we will kill you every time we can. We won't leave you alone if you ask. You are in a PvP area. You came to a place to fight other players.
The risk vs reward doesn't hold any bearing if you remember DS is there for PvP.
In fact I agree if the loot drops are 1% of the drop rate in Deep Space as kills in Kessel then that is fine.
The true way to make the test is to make 5 sets of 100 kills in Kessel then repeat in Deep Space. Both are T5s so there should be the same drop rate of parts and quality as from Deep Space under the current system.

I love Deep Space, it's the few challenges that remains after making ace, one of the few places that you are at risk of dying, be it at the hand of another player, or a swarm of NPC's.
I spend a fair bit of time in Deep Space for this reason. I don't fly for FP, cash, or loot, but all of them are a nice bonus. I tend to get a spread of loot, normally towards the top end. It's rare that I leave DS without at least one level 10 part.
IMHO the loot rates are fine as they are, but, as I say, I don't really fly for the loot.

QFE ^
I was in DS today and was involved in an INSANE PvE furball. Fully 40 fighters, 12 gunboats and 2 corvettes, all fighting each other....got 4 kills (no loot)before I got swarmed by a squadron of T5 Interceptors. That is some serious PvE.
. If I'm gonna be mixed up with that many ships, then the loot better be top notch. I went in about 20 minutes after that, and killed like 6 Decimators and didn't get any loot
. Of all the loot I've gotten in DS, not one piece was over L5.
