Hi Sir,

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 !

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...
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.
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
Ground missions (ex: kill 5 sets of x enemy aboard the abandoned space station) don't drop better loot.
If yu can kill them on elite.
Borg are easy on elite, but every other race basicaly can 2 shot your team, doesn't matter what gear...
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 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 the end it costed me more then i got. Will no more do missions on Elite.
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.
