No drops from sentients in Orphix missions

A few hours into the new operation I noticed I haven't seen a single mod or core drop from the sentients. By now I'd expect to have a mountain of Spry Sights and Broad Eye mods ready to become delicious endo. Hoping this is a bug and not an intentional "balancing" move with the result making the time investment for this operation even less rewarding.

You've actually spend time attacking the sentients to notice? The only ones I pay attention to while running is the disco dancers since those can hurt your mech pretty bad. Otherwise I always concentrate on the Orphix and of course the sentients all go poof when that dies.

That does suck if they're not dropping anything though.

I don't spend too much time with them as a dedicated focus. It's more that they're between my Fluctus and the resonators. They are worth points though. I have targeted them when I'm pretty sure I'm too far from the Orphix to get back before the squad pops it. Not sure what my head count is, but I'm guessing 100-200 at least. With a 15% mod drop rate on most of them I think I'm safely out of the possible bad RNG window.
