I don’t see it in the announcement, are they going to scale the drop rates with the amount of energy required on the node? I believe they did that before but I want to be sure.

Here is what @CG_SBCrumb posted for the emporers shuttle.“ This new ship's blueprints have a drop rate of 4% per point of Ship Energy per attempt (8 = 32%, 10 = 40%, 16 = 64%, 20 = 80%). Please note that each attempt is an independent event.”Please confirm if these rules apply to the next Galactic Chase event.

Stop saying they do.Actually I'm not sure that's what he's saying. Had he said "rigged" then yes, they don't do that but "rejigged" implies an adjustment to account for the lack of a 20 energy node which would have higher chances of drops. Perhaps it will be a 5% per energy spent versus 4%/energy as with Emperor's Shuttle.

Stop saying they do.Galactic Chase is a weird event where they do play around with drop rates, so these are valid questions.

I’m actually getting 80+% on 16 energy nodes. I had 3 days of 3 refreshes saved up and did 3 refreshes today, whatever that amounts to, I didn’t write it down BUT I did the math this morning and it was 80someodd%.

Can't do the math for the numbber of attempts but we should trust your math for drop %

Man, some of y’all are @$$es. 120 energy per refresh, 3 refreshes a day for 3 days = 1080 energy, 16 energy per attempt = 67.5 attempts, let’s add another 120 to account for what I had before buying refreshes + what I got since simming, 120/16=7.5. 75 attempts. I’m at 62/80 so 62/75=0.82666 so 83%? Happy?

The devs ignoring this post shows they don't want to disclose this current event drop rate.

It's about the same as saying spend as much as you can we dont want you to plan or prepare to reach certain threshold.

Oh and just like saying in 3 days there will be the epic confrontation for GAS and you'll need 3 teams of relic3 characters/ships to succeed. What? You're not ready???

Running a bit low at 35% when it should be 40% on 10 energy node, but so far its only 1 day of sims.

I do wish this thing was going on for longer, like say a full week. I was hoping to get more than 4 stars. :(
As is its going to take avg or better RNG to open it at 3 refreshes a day for all 4 days.

You have 5 days.

Yeah, for some reason I thought it was 4.

So a 4* unlock is fairly easy if you can handle 3 refreshes a day.

5* is going to require some serious burning however.

I'm still running pretty low if that .04% is accurate.

The 10 Energy Nodes should be 40% return with 12 being 48% but so far I'm not seeing that.

Then again 4 days isn't a very big sample size so far.

I'm at 77/80 doing 16 energy nodes farming Aurra Sing, as she is my last cantina node toon that I need. I believe I have done three refreshes a day. I forget if I did three on day 1 or not. The bonus is that I'm 31/100 on Aurra having started with her somewhere around 70/85 when this even started.

Unlocked earlier. Day one I accidentally did a 200 refresh and since then only the 100 refreshes. Probably won't refresh anymore due to zero chance of getting another 65

If you saved up a full ~140 energy and then bought that days refreshes before the event started, you can effectively add a 6th day of energy.

According to my energy calculations, I've spent about 3600 energy and I'm at 147 shards, which puts me at 4.08% drop rate, all on 16 energy relic nodes.
