As the title might hint... I'm in an extreme gear crunch for Holo Projectors....
There are multiple characters I want to work on but literally ALL of them need Holo Projectors... I have seen them in the shipments for 300 crystals, do you guys farm using energies? Or crystals? Or a combination?

100% this. I bought a few recently and luckily, they pop up in shipments (3 for 2700 credits) so a combo of that, bit of farming and buying outright. To be honest, I couldn't get 20 salvage for 300 crystals anyway with my luck!

This^^
And I buy any gear for coins that I have less then 100 of.
Luckily, I am patient.

Feel free to spend 9.99 USD to get the needed crystals to buy one out of frustration. By the way, you probably need 100+ full sets.
But what happens when you run in to Raid gear that just won't F*@%*!@ drop?
That being said - when you do two energy refreshes, using 350 energy and you get 1 or 2 pieces of gear it is never a good thing. Blah blah, I've seen for myself that in the long run the drop% are what they are -- but I think CG could come up with a "doNotDishearten" algorithm along the lines of, and this is where it gets technical, "Shazam, they done poured 350 energy into one node? ka-blam-o, increase the drop!"
If you buy gears in shipments, you lose these valuable byproducts that IMHO should be put on the weigh scale as well.
If you're not level 85, then yes, but otherwise, credits, droids, and all the other crap that drops from ds/ls nodes is nearly insignificant now that we have credit and droid heists, raids, etc etc etc. Gear and Mods are basically the only thing keeping everyone from having all toons maxed and optimized at this point...at least for those of us who started at the very beginning.
