We were able to verify a potential fault in our high-end loot drops, that was causing NPC kills of Lvl 60 and above to drop less loot than intended.
This appears to have been fixed internally, and we hope to have it in a patch some time soon.
Great to hear that we have verification! Just to satisfy my curiosity, I wonder if I was even anywhere near the mark as to how the loot table variable relationships are set up. (Not being an actual programmer I know I could've been way off. )
Definitely do let us know when this pushes out to patch...I'd say with more players getting to level 60, the urgency of the issue is going to increase significantly soon.

Nitpicking is a time-honored tradition of science fiction. Asking your readers not to worry about the "little things" is like asking a dog not to sniff at people's crotches. If there's something that appears to violate natural laws, then you can expect someone's going to point it out. That's just the way things are.
Lvl 60 Cruisers definitely now are dropping gear. Usually common, but I even got some green and one rare drop from them already. Battleships seem to reward as they should.
So right now, it seems to be fixed. Thanks Bort.

Still no loot in level 60 kerrat,just rarely some batteries.
Contrary to Toiva's post, I don't think this fix has gone live yet. Borticus only posted that they'd fixed it 'internally' the night before the most recent patch so I wouldn't expect it to go live until the earliest of next week.

I guess that's a slight improvement over the 300 second wait.

Ker'rat is an own issue. Those mobs are Level 64, and so far only Level 60 has been fixed, as far as I could see. The "internal" fix was apparently a stealthfix, because loot drops normally at Level 60 equal enemies now. This is confirmed. I had normal drops all day today. I have not done Ker'rat ever since.

Ah ok, confusing. I'm surprised they didn't mention it in the patch notes if it was included. Though that said, the 'known issues' list in patch notes never includes even a tenth of the actual known bugs.

And it fixes this particular issue with NPC drops up to level 100. So Kerrat should be affected.
Thanks for the confirmation. I didn't think it would be live already considering you only announced you'd fixed it internally the night before the patch. I guess some people just got lucky and got better loot today haha.

Even if most loot isn't for own use anymore, you can still sell it at the vendor or the exchange (let's say you get a random rare MK XII kit module drop from a Romulan Centurion Medic - which was not possible at the bugged state) . Some loot can still be sold nicely, and the other is trashed. Still, it wasn't right to just get consumables, so this had to be fixed in my opinion. And I am really glad it got fixed so quickly. I expected this to last longer. Kudos to Jeremy!
I will have a lookie-lookie at Ker'rat today afternoon and see if drops have returned to normal. If not, I would post here again.
PS: MK 13 drops exist, butt so far I've seen ONLY common MK 13 items and ONLY on ground. So far I got two white MK XIII Science Kits and one white MK XIII Stun Grenade assault kit module.

I guess I am wondering why this matters since everything that drops is garbage,
I saw a Superior Tech Upgrade drop in an STF...rolled and didn't get it, but that IMO isn't garbage.

I apologize. I should have noted my 'confirmation' post was only valid for Argala. While I hoped it included all maps and all level enemies, I should have stated that (and I stand behind that report: I indeed got Mk XII gear drops from cruisers in Argala at lvl 60, mostly commons, but also a green here or there).
Speaking of those supurrrrior upgrades ... haven't seen any in a while, butt those are really based on luck.
Not sure if I got any after the latest patch (haven't played on the weekend, though), but I definitely got 1 in the week prior, in Argala. And quite a couple more before that, same place.

Good to know we weren't imagining things haha. Thanks for the feedback!

Level 100 you say.... Hmmm let the speculation train begin

Eh? The drops are fine. I've gotten a few MK13 drops too
