120 holo projectors is a TON of gear that's 1200 carbantis or 14 full crafted carbantis

Are any of those numbers supposed to make sense?

Yes they should.
Do you understand how crafting works? Players have to use one kind of gear to make another. This may be new to you if you dont have any g13. Or maybe u have relics but are still clueless to how it all works.

Its 50 carbantis crafts to 5 holo so 10x1 ratio, easy math just add a 0... unless your rate is different than mine...

@BobcatSkywalker just in case it’s not Liath that’s clueless, here’s some numbers for you:

To craft 10 x Aurodium heatsink, you need one of the following:
- 50 carbanti salvage
- 50 holoprojector salvage
- 1 fully crafted carbanti
- 1 fully crafted holoprojector

But the twist in this tale is that the fully crafted holoprojector needs only 20 salvage, whilst the fully crafted carbanti salvage needs 50 salvage.

So, the smart people are crafting holoprojectors and using them for Aurodium heatsinks. Because you are getting 2.5 x better value by doing so.

That’s not forgetting that the holoprojector salvage is much easier to come by, including being something that shows up for credits in the store and even on an 8 energy fleet node.

But I’m sure you knew all of this, and weren’t even contemplating using carbanti instead.

Yes I'm aware of the different exchange rates and have a guide for what to create when, rather than go through the 75 different combinations I just used one of the currencies, carbantis, to show how much it equates to. I wouldn't use carbantis because they are still a bottleneck gear to some extent, but the rate still applies and is accurate.

As far as the comment about 300 actives it applies to some and not others but people celebrating reaching to top 50 or 100 and thinking that they are among an elite creme of the crop, top of 10,000 players list is totally inaccurate.

They are the top 100 of 300, 500, maybe 1,000 people if the shard is brand new so it's not that much of an accomplishment to be the top 100 of 500 people, those guys beat 400 others and 9,000 inactives, not 9,400 other or 19,400 other active accounts all jockeying for position. People who think this way are just uninformed.
