I remember reading a post either here or in the shipwright forums that had some guildlines on where to get particular kinds of space loot of specific tiers. As an example Tier 3 black sun in dant space would drop boosters or some such. I pulled that example out of my butt of course. I want to think it was a FAQ or some other similarly prominent post but Ill be damned if I can find it today. Does anyone know the post I am referring to?

The entire reason I am looking for it is I am looking to finally RE my pre nerf reward engine and want to get an idea of what kind and level ships I need to go after, or is the loot drop system completely random?

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I don't know that anyone has done enough research to go beyond a 'feeling' of what drops what. Personally, I think that the overall system has general percentages of each type of component that make up the drop rates, but I have not been convinced that there is a bias among types of NPCs to drop types of components. No way to know that I am right or wrong, as far as I know.

The only thing I know for sure about loot tendencies is NPCs tend to drop stuff appropriate for their tier. So tier 3 ships drop a lot of level 5-7 loot, T5s drop a lot of 9 and 10s, T2s drop a lot of 3-5, etc.

Okies...looks like im gonna have to go pwn me some tier 3's then.
Another quick question, do any of you know if duty missions drop more/less/same amount of loot as static spawns and such?
