Well I used a Rendili FG1-A Blaster (quest reward) in a RE7 Weapon I had made, for it vs. shield of 0.63 and for its blue lasers on the visual.

.63 vs armor and shields is about as high as Ive been able to loot lately... Apparently, (and I cant confirm this) they did drop higher awhile back, but that has been stealth nerfed also....

.643/.640 (on two different weapons) going into my next.
Both are HK Scorcher Heavies. I've noticed T&B KX8s wandering into the .62x+ arena occasionally as well.

The closest Trando Camp to the starport in the main instanced zone of Kashyyyk (re: not the Blackscale camp, check the POIs on your map when you land), has an NPC named Myskyss (similar but not the ACTUAL name which I keep forgetting) in the back tent of the camp in the L-shaped box canyon.
The mission is blindingly simple, but bring a wingman anyway.
Reason: when the mission was first introduced, the escorts of the freighter you were supposed to disable and capture were undamageable. Every successive spawn of ambush fighters were undamageable as well.
...this bug got fixed...for about a week.
Now it's back to being bugged again.
How I did it on Theo (my defunct Jedi):
1. Grouped with a friend.
2. Launched.
3. Met up with the freighter.
4. Waxed the escort.
5. Found I couldn't damage the freighter.
6. My friend could, so I had HIM disable it.
7. I was in close proximity, and got the capture dialog.
8. After that, everything was peachy - both he AND I could damage the ambushes.
It's the simplest escort you'll ever do (despite maybe the ones for Syren or Falling Star), and you get the FG1-A for it...although nine times out of ten the damn thing sucks.
On Jo, I got through the mission completely bugged - I merely kept shooting the escorts (even though I couldn't damage them, the shield flares seemed to tick the AI into breaking off an attack) and flying through them to confuse the AI. It was the first escort I ever accomplished by not actually destroying anything. Reward: crappy FG1-A.
The bad thing about L7 REs is that if you want to fit a cosmetic or "extra" piece like a high min/max Ionic, you have to find a double whammy piece to satisfy TWO categories.

I take it you can only do this quest once then? So its time for me to delete, recreate, delete, recreate on my alt?

You COULD theoretically run this quest as a 0101 Freelancer in a Heavy Syck with a throwaway. WO3 and L3 gear.
The initial escorts are T3s, and I think the ambushes are T3/4s. Have a good enough wingman and they'll be dead before they ever even reach their firing envelopes.
As I said, you only get jumped about three or four times in the whole mission.

I'm currently trying to reverse engineer a lvl 7 weapon for my jsf, and I'd like to know if anyone has looted a lvl 7 weapon with higher than .620 or so vs. shields and armor. I have looted a LOT of stuff in space, but I have never looted a lvl 7 weapon with higherthan .621shieldor armor piercing. The weapon I have has 3040 dmg and 12k mass, so it's ideal to RE. I'd rather not waste it if I can loot level 7 weapons with .68 or higher piercing.
