Gear drops rates

On the topic of gear drop rates, and calling on those who track their drops, I'm wondering whether the rule of "refresh / don't buy" works for:


1. Hard node vs normal node: do you get a better drop rate on hard nodes to justify the double energy spent?

2. Fleet nodes vs LS/DS nodes: I really feel the drop rate is crappy on Fleet nodes and I barely ever get anything. Is it just an impression or is the Fleet drop worse than regular nodes?

3. Is it the same for almost all gear? Thr high end gear seems to have really low drops, and I often calculate that it would be cheaper to buy them than refresh. I'm completely aware that it could be unlucky RNG, but happens often so I'm starting to consider it's a drop rate issue. (Mostly for g12 components). Is that something that you've experienced as well, or is it still worth the refresh even for high end gear?

Thanks for the feedback

    1) Shards and blueprints are 33%

    2) Any gear of value is 20%
