Crystalline elite not dropping mk 11/12?

Sure I'd had high mk purple there, recently done some runs ranked top 2 each time and got mk 10s.

Also have the space farming foundry missions been nerfed with the drops halved? seems about half based on a handful of recent runs.

    To answer my own question they just dropped mk 11 twice today.

    The foundry loot cap is a myth, its actually an exp cap. The exp cap is hit quicker atm due to the fact that there is 2xp going on.

    You should never see Crystalline Entity drop MK 12 anything. Mk 11 is as high as it goes. The only place to get MK 12 gear is kerrat, console crafting, and borg stf mission rewards.

    Those 102 foundry farm missions have 4 zones and are running dry for me on the second zone, the average loot value is down to close to 250k from 500k

    Again, it's because of the x2 XP event. Foundry runs on an EXP Cap and since you're getting twice as much EXP, it's speeding up the race to the cap.

    Foundry drops are based on EXP. When you get a certain amount, drops stop. Since you gain more EXP per kill atm, your drops get halved because you reach the limit twice as fast.
