Gear drop rate

Question

I'm curious, when you click on an empty gear slot and check drop locations do the nodes pop up in any particular order say for instance highest probability first?

And if not is there a higher probability that higher energy costing nodes would drop more? In otherwords is it more advantageous to go for the 8 over the 6 energy nodes or the 10 over 8?

At the moment my strategy is to look at all non hard mode nodes and see the other possible drops and I pick the one has the most gear that i need somewhere, so say a 10 node has 3 possibilities and I need all 3 I'll go for that over a 6 energy node that has 2 possible drops but I only need 1.

Am i approaching things correctly or should I do something different? I want to maximize my chances at getting the gear i want, I would feel rather silly if all this time the game was telling me the best node order to maximize my chances only to go to the last node in the list and waste all my energy.

Thanks

Lol lack of a answer either means ppl don't  know or it is obvious lol

I do that too, if one node only drops three gear items and I need all of them I choose that one over the node that I only need the one purple item with three other greens and whites. I think there should be hard modes that have guaranteed drops instead of possible drops but cost twice as much stamina to do.

Lol i was just doing an 8 energy node for mk 6 biotech prototype salvage spent about 280 energy on it and went 0 for 35 i guess that would be....annoying to say the least since i need 12 more of em

I have heard purple gear drops at 20% regardless of the energy cost of the node. But i have no proof of that at all, so take it with a grain of salt.

I have also wondered the same about character shard drop rates in Cantina as some toons drop at different stamina cost nodes.

I went searching and here is a great post over on reddit about drops and the person who wrote it, jackyboygd, was kind enough to post his thoughts and put a link to his % findings on his drive. Feel free to have a look at his results, the link to his findings are in his post;
