Influences of Luck on drops

[Tycho]

So, currently this is probably the only research that has been done on the topic. Yeah, it was done by the Japanese, unsurprisingly.

Thoughts? I personally think that although it does seem to affect things a bit, that nonetheless the fluctuations are still within the reasonable bounds of variance. There are not any clear patterns at least. If anything, Meseta drops are most obviously affected.

Yeah, Meseta seems the only obvious one. That's as far as I can tell by looking.

Seems reliable enough, and 30 weeks seems a decent amount of time, but is this the data collected from all the player in the game, a group of players, one area/world or the whole Star System? Is the Luck referring to the Star beside your name thing or your Luck stat? (You can tell I have neither experience in PSU nor the ability to read the column of Japanese. )

p.s. Does luck affect critical hits the same way as for PSO?

[Tycho]

Should refer to the critical hit thing using three-letter acronyms or something, to prevent confusion. A single player made this; did 100 runs of the first mission in all luck categories.
