The chance of a fragment falling out depends on the energy spent. However, considering that when purchasing additional energy for 200 crystals at the last “Galactic Chase”, the players were able to assemble the “Marauder” ship only at 5*.Will the drop rate be increased? Or should we prepare for the fact that we will have to buy additional energy for 800 crystals for the entire 7 days of the chase?@CG_SBCrumb , @CG_Tusken_Meathead

That only happened if you were farming LS/DS GL tickets AND the the chase was happening on the same node type. Since the chase is happening on fleet arena, there's no chance that people will get more drops just because they're working on GL tickets.

My drop rates have been terrible. Got 9 shards from over 500 energy. Disgusting.

Is it really worth the 400's (potentially even the full 200's) to get it 7*?What is it going to give you that will pay back that investment of crystals, aside form the satisfaction that you now have it?Yeah, usually I want something I spend crystals on to provide an actual ROI, and I don't. know how much return I will actually get. That said, long farms on Hard Nodes are tedious and frustrating, so rather than "satisfaction that now have it" I would sub in the related but different statement "relief that I'm not going to have another hard node farm in my future". I'm still not saying it's worth 400s, since the drop rate is so bad that you can simply buy blueprints in the Shipments for 100/shard and you get more for your money on average, but it's definitely worth the 200s, and I might very well spend 400s if the drop rate were better. Sure, it's way more expensive than just finishing later when it goes to farm, but farms aren't fun and this is a game, so maximizing my fun is its own ROI.

There is no hurry to get any ship to 7 stars and waste crystals.I don't get this 5 ships needed requirements as the capital ship counts and with that, the resistance already have 5 ships. The Comeuppance is the 6th.I learned pretty quickly after spending a lot of crystals on refreshes for the Doritos ship and its still crap at 7 stars, even with a R7 pilot in a FO line up.

The Dorito isn't great, but it works well enough -- not great, just well enough -- in a Levi fleet of Sith ships.

I thought a bunch of people did better than that in past chases. I tried to do a search for the Marauder chase thread, but was unable to find it. Maybe someone else can have better success searching this forum. There should be some good data there.

60 shards after 2220 energy, so 2.7% drop rate thus far, I've seen reports ranging from 2-3%, so about as it has been for other chases

1980 energy used for 70 shards = 3.5%
I expect that to slow down but so far so good.

pretty lame drops with what I'm seeing.
CG: "Spend those crystals fellas, we've got something really exciting to drop on you soon, but we need you to spend everything you're hoarding first"

Update--continues to get worse. I'm about done with wasting crystals just to pull 0s. FAR FAR lower drop rates that the last several chases.

Zorii pack in the store should have 60 shards not 30
