I just finished up an entiresearch and destroy duty mission and got a total of 3 component loots. Does anyone else notice a decrease in loot drops in space, or is this just a fluke?


edit:

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, who knows. Il have a better idea in a few days of flying

If true, ouch.

Sad to say, while it wasnt as great as it used to be, It was (is) only a matter of time before they nerf it though. Going to make RE components a bit harder to come by is my guess.

I hope they don't nerf it too much, hunting for parts is one of the few joys you have as an ace pilot other than PvP or helping with teir 3 missions. Aint much else to do.

Sheesh, I thought they had lowered it enough already, you mean they lowered it even more? You're right, its just about my only joy as an ace pilot too.

After spending some time in deep space, I must say my loot to FP ratio was actually a bit higher this time than normal. Normally to fill my inventory I end up earning in the range of 20k FP in deep space, today, I filled up my inventory and got less than 15k. Perhaps non deep space loot rates have lowered, but the prime hunting ground (at least for me) seems unaffected.

I've noticed no change in my loot drop percentages...and am getting good stuff, too.

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.
