Thread: So where do YOU go for high lvl loot?
Anywhere but Kessel or deep space...
My alt has been raking in the loot on long tier 4 duty missions. There are some tier 5 duty missions in Kashyyyk space. You need to talk to some of the ships that patrol around the stations to get them. The "boss" levels are rough though, being fast gunships or Novas.

If I'm on a faction contract, Kessel. 264 points of rebel faction for a tier 5 gunboat on rails is pure gravy. I typically fly for two hours at a time and I typically come back with between 20 and 30 components, average level 7.
If I'm purely focused on generating components, I go to the blackscale spawn near the avatar platform in Kash space. I don't have the waypoint handy but if you hyper to the avatar point, aim at the platform and just fly past it, you'll see them space in. It's hard to miss.
There are an absurd number of slow moving tier 4 rixhyrks and tier 3 khirakz. They don't aggro and they tend to spawn in clumps. The respawn rate is through the roof - even with four heavy x's there I've never seen it get completely cleaned out. The drop rate isn't great, maybe one every five to six kills, but you can easily knock out eight ships per minute if you stay focused. I average four to five components in the default keeper classes (tier 5+ guns, level 6, 8 and 10 engines, level 8 shields etc) per haul.
only 5 in defaults? I do better on tier 3 evil tyrants just lacks lvl 9-10 and light on 8's (since doing a lvl 6 pre nerf project I find this best spot + better credits from kill density (usually 10-12 a min)

Yeah yeah, you can do better with ETOs if you park in the right spot and just hold down the trigger. I didn't bring it up because I don't care to espouse lameness. I dofly there if I'm working on a level 7 gun project or a protecto.

If you're getting 10-12 per minute while actually in motion, then /salute.
I can range4-14 at blackscale in motion but that's quite the range depends on clumping andONCE got all 8 or 9(forget) fighters on a black sun duty in like 35 secs(was flying in circles looking for more and had to check quest tab to see WTH was up) it was dumb luck I'll admit but going in perfect smooth transition from 1 targetto next in 1-2 secs and killing in 2-3 volleys is nice
