Hi there, this is my first post and visit to the forum. Very excited to see the new ships today so I started farming for the new components with all maxed r7 ships. at first the drop rate was reasonable. Still a bit grindy, even with a premium license. but after I obtained 7 of the components for the new r7 ship any drops just stopped for me. I won about 15 games with only 1 return. so I tested it on neo with r8 and not getting anything there either. Did get the odd mono every now and then.
So pretty demoralising to stop getting the drops. Do you just stop getting stuff after a certain amount until the next day? (Not talking about the daily mono missions),
I can’t say for sure, but I am sure that all drops, like monocrystals, neodium and beryllium and possibly premium ship parts have a daily limit now.
If they don’t have a limit, they have a limit, how often they appear in the loot after certain number of played matches or time period.
For example, you may get 1 bery per every match or every 3 matches, then it can happen that you can’t find any for the next 5 or 10 or more matches, like 20.
I suspect that there is some sort of modifier, which “prevents grind” in such ways.
Yeah, I had the same with 5 parts out of 5 wins then nothing for the next 5 wins and again got one from the 11th win. So, either it has got a ninja nerf or sys has decided to keep it on 50% rate.
But of course speculating about these things is in vain and I am sure their looting method will stay top secret.
cheers for comments peoples, i tried a few more games with maxed ships at different levels but still nothing. going to call it quits for today. Hope you have better luck otherwise only people getting the ships will be on the credit cards.

I just did a couple pve and co ops and pvp with r8 ships but no luck with neo, I do get mono sometimes but no neo… Glad I farmed the heck out of it for 2 weeks before this patch, it’s time to take a break…
An example of how stupid someone can be, despite being told otherwise, of what not do in the next update.
Fire Mission PvE with 4 rank 11 ships equipped. I was mainly using Tormentor AE (Jericho) LRF. I got all DLC packs + Premium + 1 extra loot spot for this PvE scenario = 7 loot spots for me.
Update 1.3.4 : Me: “Loot is pretty much stable, don’t nerf it!”
"I got at least 1-2 beryllium ores per match, sometimes even with a monocrystal and sometimes even some enriched Iridium rod.
"Now I only got 3 beryllium ores, then 10 matches of nothing, not even impure resources and only 1 Mark 2 Kit. The rest were mainly credit drops of 6-7k credits on average from a lot of matches.
" My point is valid. Nerf isn’t a myth, it’s real! Drops are limited!"
Happy Grind mode Deactivated!

Though it does seem like drops only happen a certain amount of times for ship parts. I got something around 5-6 today and then didn’t see another one all day. *deep sigh*
It would be nice if they were universal parts and not specific to each ship…
