Ability Challenge Zeta Drop Rates

Had been taking note of something since the new ship ability challenge tier went live. To me, it seems like the zeta material drop rate has lowered, presumably to account for the new ship omega ability materials.

I seem to be averaging under 1 material per week, when previously I was averaging maybe 2 per week. Has anyone else noticed a drop?

We've had guildies go several months without a single drop from the challenges. I think it's all RNG, and the rate for them is bad to start with.

You are just in a bad streak.

Perhaps it's anecdotal, but the couple of times I've gone back to the previous tier I seemed to be back at my old rate of zeta materials.

I haven't noticed anything different, the sample size is also incredibly small for any real analysis.

So we agree the drop rate lousy. But then again there are others sources and I am happy to get 2-3 full zetas per month.

When they were first introduced I tracked my drop rates for 4 months worth of challenges, and came up with approx 45% zero, 50% one, 5% two. I've gone over a month without a single drop, and had excellent streaks as well. I haven't tracked it lately though (got tired of doing it).

I’ve gotten a total of 3 zetas from all of the challenges in the month of June so far. One double drop and one single.

It probably hasn’t changed but it’s still awful, whatever it is.
