The other day I was on Coronet and ran past a spawn of wild Shanaffs killed em and got around 95 units per corpse. I went back to the starport and me and another guy decided to hunt together and rounded up a solo group because, in our understanding, even though the money sucks you have access to more meat from better mobs right. Well we got out to a couple missions and the same type of Sharnaff now only gave 40-45 units per corpse consistantly. I guy we ran into told us that with the group nerf even what you harvest is restricted down. I dont know if anyone else posted this earlier or knows about this but if you do can you provide info?

You alone harvest 100 units. Grouped, you harvest 60. Say hello to the 40% group harvesting penalty. Beats the old way, where only one person could harvest.
But....
Consider - You spend less time dropping the animals with a group. Time is harvest. Harvesting faster even at lower rates is sometimes good. The damage is spread out to two people, not just one guy getting hit.
Personally, if I want to harvest a lot, I go solo and use a droid to tank - not harvest. At least pets don't count as a group anymore.

There has been a group penalty on harvesting for a while. It is not knew with the solo group changes. 
When the game first started only one person could harvest from a coprse. After much complaining... er... logical and reasonable arguments 
they made it so everyone in a group could harvest. However, to keep organics from flooding the market they made it so there was a penalty to your harvest when you are grouped.
Personally I don't think the penalty is needed. There have been many, um logical and reasonable arguments to have it removed.
