Both flashbacks - Uncommon, and Astrals.
(Yes, I'm aware I'm the one who posts the full-fledged updates, but I want more data to collect before that happens ... I generally try to wait for at least 7-8 new "drops" to be reported before a full update. In the meantime, I'll just track what I'm getting just like others participating in the thread.)

Intended for high level play: The Primus Trilogy (Arc #s 10931, 283821, 283825), "Freakshow U" (Arc #189073), Purification (Arc #352381, Dev's Choice!
)Intended for low level play: "Learning the Ropes" (Arc #100304), "Cracking Skulls" (Arc #115935), "The Lazarus Project" (Arc #124906)
Brute first run: Mu dude: common
Max, oh yeah he has no table.
Heather (Ouroboros): Common
Heather (A friend's first): Astrals

(I think I'll have enough to justify a full update tomorrow)

Today's runs (all flashbacks) netted me an Uncommon and Astrals.
And the tally thus far...

736 Commons (75.9%)
178 Uncommons (18.4%)
44 Rares (4.5%)
12 Very Rare (1.2%)
So far, each roll on the component table gives "incarnate progress" of:
Average Thread Value (Standard): 58.43
Average Thread Value (Tier 3): 51.37
Average Thread Value (Tier 4): 49.46
Merit rolls:
48 Astral (80.0%)
12 Empyrean (20.0%)
A roll on the merit table gives "incarnate progress" of: 14.9

Common and Astral for me today too.
(Gathering data ... just like before I'll do a full update once we're in the 7-8 component rolls range, or higher...)

I've taken a short break from the game but will continue to update with drops as I get them.
Maestro Mavius - Infinity
Capt. Biohazrd - PCSAR
Talsor Tech - Talsorian Guard
Keep Calm & Chive On!
Sister Solaris (Ouroboros): Common
"Goodbye, Jean-Luc. I'm gonna miss you... you had such potential. But then again, all good things must come to an end..." -- Q
Sister Solaris arc (Flashback): Common
Dream Doctor arc (Flashback): Common
Just as an aside (not to be included in the data as I don't have exact numbers), I've run all the arcs on a couple different toons and have yet to get anything other than a Common or Uncommon. I've NEVER gotten a rare or very rare on any character from the DA Arcs.

Since my last post, I've had roughly 20 component drops across multiple characters. All but one of which have been common. The last was an uncommon which dropped last night.
Merits drops from the table have been mainly astrals, but I've gotten a couple emp drops.
I know "random" can mean "randomly bad", but I'm getting REALLY ******* irritated with nearly endless randomly bad streaks.
If any devs are actually reading this, can someone go over the logs of drop percentages with a fine toothed comb? I can see having to get dozens of tables to get one good drop now and again. Getting scores is kinda pushing it. Asking people to whack down HUNDREDS of drop tables just to get a single rare or very rare is "self-trepanation" levels of stupidly insane.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Update time!
Since my last post, it was another round of Common and Astral.
I credited Hyperstrike with 19 commons and 1 uncommon. The information about merits, though, isn't specific enough for me to use.
And the totals thus far are...
1022 rolls total: (At long last, we've broken 1000!)
780 Commons (76.3%)
184 Uncommons (18.0%)
45 Rares (4.4%)
13 Very Rare (1.3%)
So far, each roll on the component table gives "incarnate progress" of:
Average Thread Value (Standard): 58.34
Average Thread Value (Tier 3): 51.05
Average Thread Value (Tier 4): 49.39
Merit rolls:
69 Astral (83.1%)
14 Empyrean (16.7%)
A roll on the merit table gives "incarnate progress" of: 13.8
In honor of getting 1000+ results (the first step to actually making the statistics at least decent), I've added the current "prediction" of what the actual drop rates are (95% confidence interval):
Common: 76.22% +/- 2.61%
Uncommon: 18.12% +/- 2.36%
Rare: 4.57% +/- 1.28%
Very Rare: 1.45% +/- 0.73%
