How does one get quasi spacial expanders (short of paying for them with GP)?
I am level 449, and I have killed 17 troop carriers. Each one had a terraformer.
Is it just an extremely rare (less than 10%) drop? Or possibly based on lever like the Eidolons?
Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks,
LordRandrew Leader, Team Comf

It's supposed to be a 5% drop I think. I've gotten 5 out of 85000 kills.

1 from over 20k kills. I've had enough TO trooper carriers to get the hyper terraformer exotic up to 15x, another planet up to 15x and another up to 12x using terraformers.
I really hope Dan finds a way to make them easier to get. I don't know if they're sendable or not. I'd pay CTP for them if they were.

I've got lucky enough to get 2 Quasi-Spacial Expanders in a row. I've also gotten 3 Terraformers (1 on mission, 2 on a planet (without thinking  )). I'm rank 272 with 4.5k NPC kills.

You are right. I've been getting more and more Elites and Bosses, and now: Stryll Assassins. For those of you that have told me that my next NPC run will be horrible, you are darn correct!

At the best drop rate possible, it would be about 1 in 300 spawn , and 1 in 20 drop rate for QSE. But, generally it's 7k kills per. Most people will see lower.

I've gotten 4-6 Stryll Trappers, 3 Blade Harvesters, 2-3 Dark Traffickers, a Lazuli Harrower, a Sha'din Shockfighter, and 3-5 Stryll Devastators. Today, I got a T.O. Troop Carrier (Terraformer). Not only that, I did get a Dark Arms Carrier (Krionite Torpedo - 7th time in a row) as well.  (I had relays and modules that lower energy offline. My energy with them all on is 1576. Hull had a 50% boost from a Nanite Swarm Capsule, shield is the same.) [Please don't comment on my stats that are on the screen shot (I don't CC, don't know why I have 1 GP left...) I am rank 275 now.  ]

For some reason, EVERY time I get a T.O. Troop Carrier, the next day I get a bunch of Elites and Bosses. I have also disabled a Xavox, Stryll Punisher and a Lazuli Refinery Center.  I even went on a scan run to see if I can get anything good, nothing but a few good Gas Planets, a small terra, a crystal planet, and a bunch of other crappy planets.  *If you are not getting a bunch of elites today or the next day, you know who is stealing most of them.  But probably you will get other Standard Rare NPCs than Elites/Bosses.

Destroyer, I have the same amount of energy as you, and I'm lower than the other poster, 266. I research energy. I do missions for extra reactors. My plan is energy and weapons first, everything else later.
