Nothing wrong there, he unlocked 6* Chimera and everything is OK.
If you open other people roster, their shard count is based on your shards. Check other ship and compare yourself.

I did go back and look at his roster... You are correct! I upgraded my Chimaera to 7* about 8 hours ago, now his shard count is at 0/100... What I don't understand is why he told me he was able to do it to begin with.

On the bright side...I finally figured out how to post links on the forums... Yay me!

So with the bug it's 5* Home one + 5* Ghost + 5* Ghost and Phantom minimum right?

If I knew the bug was going to be live I would've at least brought my ghost and phantom to 5*, it's the Cassian and Wedge ships I cbf to farm, will never use them again

I believe the bug is that if you have the phoenix ships to whatever star level you are trying to achieve then you can participate.

If you look at another player’s account in game, regardless of ship or character, it shows 0/100 or 0/85 or 0/65. Only the account holder can see how many shards they require.

Only have 3x Rebel ships plus Home One at 7*.

Chimaera event for final tier only allowed my 3x 7* Rebel ships...Ghost, Phantom and Biggs in. It was not easy and took nearly a dozen attempts, but as u can see by my acct., i succeeded in acquiring 7* Chimaera

Whoa! this is not fair @CG_Carrie, I only need 25 Home one shards and I can't Participate and have to wait for another go just for this.

You snooze, you loose.

With a previous refresh of the Home One event and a pack of 10 shards you would have been ready by now.

To exploit, at least as far as this game is concerned, is REPEATED abuse. No-one has been punished, as far as I have read, for a 1-time incident.

Cheating is also improperly used. No outside apps, 3rd party hacks, collusion etc. U attempt to enter an offered event and it allows u in. That's not cheating.

Not sure where the "whining" part comes in.

That's not the point. The point is some players are allowed by CG to cheat and get 7* Chimaera without meeting the requirements, while others are not allowed to do the same. In the past, people who exploited a bug were punished, this time they are rewarded.

Don't be silly now. This time it can not in any way be cheating or exploiting a bug. CG explicitly stated in the update notes that they deliberately left the well known bug as is. This instance if the event is hence working as intended. You may be disappointed, that they did this, but calling people cheaters is a plain insult and completely uncalled for.

I wish they wouldnt change ship drop rates for these events. The ghost hasn't been seen in the fleet store for me since a day before the event started. So annoying.

Lol defending CG is not suspicious at all.
You can try as hard as you want, but there's nothing to discuss. They're rewarding players for something they've punished in the past. That's a fact. And they're giving an unfair advantage to some people who don't meet the requirements, over other people in the same situation. That is the insult. And yes, it's frustrating that some people are randomly getting the best capital ship in the game without having to work for it, while others have to earn it.
