I looted 3 shock absorbant padding after killing low level rebel npc's for a couple of hours.

Smuggler loot drops from BH missions are based off of the Investigation Level ... Inv 4 & Master get the high lvl loot. Inv 3 is the sweet spot for Finely Crafted Toolkits, and Shock absorbant padding

I know that you can get Finely Crafted Toolsets no problem. The problem is I've never seen a BH with Shock Absorbent Padding or Powered Motivators.

I had one BH tell me he looted a few during invest 3... but it was only around 1 SAP to each 60FCTs. Powered Motivators do drop from MBH missions, but they drop a lot less than CA's or Reactive Micro Platings. Most of the time it's just Infraframes, ICB's, or DTA's.

guess I'll hold onto my last 300 AUKs , was gona sell em for a mint, but if padding is so hard to findI guessI might need em.

Seriously? Reactive micro-plating? RMP is going for almost nothing on the bazaar on tarq, and still not selling. I did loot some SAP off of an imp this weekend at the weapons research facility on Naboo....but several hours worth of imp killing grinding later, in the desperate hope of looting more, proved completely unsuccessful.

what did you get the paddings off of at the weapons facility?

i was grinding faction to wear my armor there, and never looted anything, not even credits. That and the npcs inside the base, didnt attack me lol, they just stood there.... im guessing they were either bugged or the lag was really bad.

Actually it was outside the weapons facility, the troopers guarding the entrance...the troopers inside the facility attacked me, would even follow me around, but did no damage at all, as if their attacks didn't even land...and were unlootable. As far as I can tell, this place was basically designed for AFK faction farming....

Which leads to another, fairly unrelated issue-is this facility good for anything? I mean, the PvP terminals are there, but seem unusable-are there any quests that involve this facility or anything like that?

I've found them in locked containers. Now, before you buying every locked container on the server, I've seen two SAPs and 2 FCTs in locked containers, and I routinely(semi-routinely)buy all locked containers for sale for less than 5kfromevery vendor and a given planet. Ok, so I may be starved for a little content here...

So, my data indicates that there's approximately a one in one hundred chance of looting a SAP from a locked container. Which goes nicely with the market values of ~4k for a locked container and ~400k for a SAP. Strange the way that works out, no?
