Getting Purple RnD thingies

Ok, so I've run ISE, CUSE, KASE, Undine Assault, CE, Viscous Cycle several times over the past few days.

Thus far, I've recived 3 Trelium-K items, and several boxes that had the -Trelium-K in the name, but only one of them actually had the Trelium in them.

Am I missing something?
Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    Its a chance to get those, my main run several stfs as well getting no rares at all, but my other char got 3-10 purples at first try. Its the same chance system that used to be rewarding proto techs for stfs so u could get mk xii set, but crypit said that players couldnt always get what they want (eg proto engine tech for CSE was rarest to get), even after several tries and the concept was removed -->the rep system became. So now its the exact same chace for lpurple drop thing just worse since there are more types of them u have to collect.

    Oh I am entirely fine with the random loot drop (though the "Proto-tech" comment does worry me a bit).

    But I suppose thats sufficient for an anwer... No change in my gameplay effords then...

    Not sure myself, what other types of VR mats there are, but I have gotten the type you described a few times, from the elite borg STF's.

    They're going to limit purple drops to one source: C-store R&D boxes.
    You better be certain of that. It's a guaranteed cash cow.

    Well negative gets you nowhere...

    Also, I am pretty sure that would stop RnD...

    I think only the special very rare one is specific to the queue.

    I've gotten Dentarium boxes 10-ish times and actually gotten Dentarium once.

    But, unlike the old tech drops these are not CBoP, so you can buy them if you need them and don't get them in drops.

    My thought pattern exactly... though it will be sometime before they drop to a price worth getting..
