Maybe this will help some?

We're adding additional loot drops to all high-rank NPCs. This includes Captains on the Ground, and Battleships and Dreadnaughts in Space. All of these NPCs will now have a very high chance (I believe it's 80%+) of dropping a green-or-better piece of level-appropriate gear.

Given the number of high-rank enemies you face in an average STF, you should end up walking away with a good haul of decent-to-wonderful loot to either equip, or sell for EC.

These changes were just made this week, and didn't make it into this morning's maintenance cycle. It's likely they will show up next week, though they may stir on Tribble for a bit before coming to Holodeck.

Yeah. That said, I think Breaking the Planet should give a token amount of fleet marks as well.

Good to hear. Not a fan of fleet actions because of the competitiveness for the prize (eng cruisers never gonna win, so why bother?), so having a source from somewhere is good.

Level appropriate gear, as in MKXI or MKXII? I have to ask because, honestly, with the addition of the Fleet stores and relative ease to obtain exceptional MKXII gear most drops are barely worth more then recycling them once you obtain a decent set of gear.

Although the Dilithium currency is in good shape, the same cannot be said for EC. Most of the high ticket items on the exchange come from lock boxes and the market for endgame drops is limited at best. It might be time to give it a review.

Seems like you guys are ironing out the kinks in all of my initial complaints. Fantastic work. I'm actually really enjoying this seasons outlook now.
