I'll bet this has been asked numerous times. I just got access to tier 4 (last one I think) maybe 3 weeks ago, the one with the Ship Omega which are otherwise hard to get. It shows that the same amount of Zeta are possible from this node as tier 3. Yet since I have been farming it I think I got TWO so far in 3 weeks.
I know probably just a dry spell right, but I still have to ask, anyone else find this node drops less than the one before it? (Tier 3 seems to drop more than tier 4)

Before tier 4 was introduced a forum poster posted his results from tracking a high number of attempts on tier 3, which resulted in a drop rate of about 33% for zeta materials and 25% for omegas.
Zetas: 50% chance for 0 to drop, 40% chance for 1, 10% chance for 2
Omegas: 80% chance for 0 to drop, 15% chance for 1, 5% chance for 2
Seems ridiculous, that is a 16% drop rate if my math is right, out of 6 attempts per week only 1 Zeta
It was MUCH better from tier 3, like 3 a week, so pretty close to the 40% mentioned right above, maybe it is the added ship Omega to this node making the drop rate less for Zeta IDK but I think I am done simming this node (a shame I will miss the ship omega surely) unless someone (else) can give me some more convincing hard numbers.
Dude, you have the numbers above. Between CarSickShoe and I its almost 1000 tracked attempts. If that doesn't convince you, none of us can. You can only convince yourself. Keep tracking, and track each and every attempt and their results - good as well as bad results. I'm convinced, that you will see a droprate significantly higher than 16% by summer.
The only thing that changes is that tier 4 has ship omegas as well.
That was the last pull, today I got only 1 zeta, no omega.
