Hi Sir, :D

I ask this here on the forums, because I heard different things about it ; someone said it gives better lootdrops if you play on ELITE, someone else said the loot stays thesame. And now I don't know any more.

Can someone please give Me the correct information ?

Thanks in advance for your answer though !


Eskaton :D

    the Dev's say it does, so yes it probably does.

    Do you find Purples that are better then what you find in the Omega & K7 Shops?... i dont think so.

    Actually i am finding a lot of Blue gear now which i did not before. Do i need that stuff? nope...

    If the loot stays the same it is because he is grinding.

    I do my Dailies every day, and I get a minimum of 1 uncommon and one Rare pr. Secure System/Enemy Confrontation.

    Before i got... Batteries, provisions, batteries, common console, batteries, common weapons, batteries and then some batteries...

    So yes.. Elite = Better Loot.

    i know for certain that you get better loot drops on advanced than you do on normal so i would guess its the same for elite

    the loot is not any better than what you can buy with badges at high levels but when you are starting a new character and levelling up the better drops really help

    From doing B'tran dailies, my experience is that elite space drops more loot, at higher quality (green / blue).

    Ground missions (ex: kill 5 sets of x enemy aboard the abandoned space station) don't drop better loot.

    I know that the loot drops are better with each tier of difficulty. I have looted more very rare purple at elite then on advanced (although I have gotten very rare on advanced).

    I don't have a problem with the other races now, except maybe remans, but I never encounter them in B'tran. Unikuians, Crimto, Starlakians (or whatever they're called), Cardassian/Jem Hadar, etc. I'll post screenshots tonight when I do my B'tran daily mission. I'll try and get as many different races to fight against on the ground.

    My away team consists of 3 science officers (2 buff/healers and 1 healer/debuffer) and 2 engineers (me as bunker fab and 1 with fuse armor + shield recharge).

    I use a quite simillare setup, but instead of the 2 engs i use 2 tacs.

    I have thought to witch them out for engesm since phaser turrets give additional dps and also additional targets to the npc.

    But if you try with anything less then 3 sci it gets very hard.

    In my opinion the risk VS reward on Elit is very bad. I did 5 missions (klingon side) on Elite, and all i got were stupid batteries plus all the damage on my ship and BO's. No special loot at all.

    In the end it costed me more then i got. Will no more do missions on Elite.

    Duno, but space missions arn't really that hard on elite, since you usually fight them 1v1 or 3v1 (but the 3 ships are just made out of paper :p).

    Ground is another situation, better loot doesn't drop that often as in space, and it takes way more time to finish.

    Plus in all regards, the best gear can still be bought in the stores. So the only reason on doing stuff on elite, is for the exchange. ;)
