    Sounds like bad luck. To be fair, I've only gotten 3 tech drops ever, and two of those were commons.

    Purely luck. I got a Rare Borg Shield Tech earlier today along with a rare lockbox from final loot in a Elite Infected Space.

    The lock boxes are separate from the Borg tech loot table, so feel free to keep grinding elites.

    Its a shame there is no option to give up lotto boxes for better odds at the prototype gear. That's literally the only thing in game that seems to be better than what i have already, and yet there is literally no way to get it with out either being lucky as a room full of leprechauns, or working for Cryptic. It's ridiculous, even after they "upped the odds" i still have yet to see any thing drop let alone the Prototype Borg Tech. People want a guarenteed way of getting the MK XII sets just like anything else, and having it by the lotto drop only has been upsetting people since it started. Why have they not implemented some thing like using EDC or the Prototype Borg salvage like the Mk X or XI? I don't want the mystery box, especially when it already tells me what the "mystery" is. I'm actually boycotting them due to the fact you have to buy from the C-store or pay over 1 mil in credits.

    Lockboxes are not on the regular loot table, and have a totally separate drop fate of their own at least that is what they said last time this was brought up.

    well they should increase the rate at which you can get borg tech along with mystery boxes, or at leat put the borg tech in the mystery boxes

    I always though all Borg loot was rare, I've only ever got 2 or 3 pieces. The Lock Boxes are in addition to the loot you get in STF's, they don't replace anything

    I just did an elite "Infected" about an hour ago and got both a mystery box and a Prototype Salvage.

    I got two rare borg tech in one day last week, and have enjoyed a noticeably higher drop rate for this type of item since the change (collecting doubles or ones I don't need is certainly preferably to collecting none)

    I beleive they have upped the drop rate a while ago.

    My own experiance however, 5 tech drops so far, of which are prototype.

    In one ELite Run, 3 or 4 Drop Boxes occurred. And even the 'famous' floating box...geez.

    Yesterday I played an Elite STF. The end drop looked like this:
    1 EDC,
    1 MK XI Shield (worthless),
    1 lockbox.

    IIRC Elites usually drop 2 EDCs, some random TRIBBLE and maybe some borg stuff. In this case, 1 EDC was replaced by the lockbox, which is unacceptable.

    I strongly agree!

    It's getting beyond a joke now,I have just done an infected run and every drop apart from three items was a stupid box then at the end I got a EDC a phaser array and a blue box ( that turned out to be just another stupid box).Im telling you now within a few months all blue or purple drops will be stored in a lock box that you have to pay to open!
