Is there any useful loot ?

I mean when you kill another ship or npc does it drop anything useful or just basic junk (vendor food) ?

I have never seen an NPC drop that is better for what I can get for my level from the PvP badge vendors. Talking Klingon side now. I imagine Fed side is the same but cant say for sure as Lt. Commander 1 is the highest Fed I got.
At Commander 9, I have yet to see any truly great loot drops. I've had some nice, useful greens drop but no blues at all. Most of the equipment that I use has come from the missions. Except for weapons which drop from ground combat quite frequently. I did use my 2nd level exploration badges to purchase a nice blue kit, but then a few days later got the exact same kit from a mission.
I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil
A lot of vendor food but they do drop some nice stuff. Most of the stuff I have on my ship is all loot drops. The problem is that you really do out level the stuff fairly quickly if you do a lot of grouping.
All I ever seemed to get was batteries of various types, and if I ever DID get an item that looked good - say a shield with an impresive-sounding name in blue text - it was invariably no better than the shield I was using.
I haven't seen anything good yet....
I don't think the vendor / marketplace / drops ios balanced yet - Although I have seen some people with some tasty ship weapons.
Ground combat is still soooooooooooooo easy but not getting any "good" drops from it.
I got a couple nice blue drops, but thats it. That being said, the best stuff you find on the exchange(auction house), and since pvp bought stuff is usually bound upon receiving it i simply assume other people get more lucky than me and buy my stuff on the AH.
I have gotten all my useful equipment from drops including several blues, my captain is LC9 and allready loaded with everything he will need when he hits commander and it will all be blues and greens.

That's pretty sweet. What has been your playstyle? Do you group alot or play solo? Are you mainly focusing in episodes, or are you mainly doing star clusters? Mixing? PvP? I ask because now that the autogrouping in high level areas has been fixed, I've seen more good equipment drop while I'm grouped. I went through all of Lt Cmdr and half of Cmdr without grouping at all. But since the patch that fixed grouping, I autogroup for almost every map. I seem to recall the devs saying the loot would be better when grouping but maybe I misunderstood, so I'm just wondering why the disparity between your loot and mine. I do mainly episodes and fill in my level gaps with star clusters but practically all of my ship equipment is from mission rewards and the majority of my good ground equipment is as well.
