Hmmmm.....a 80% drop rate on a 20 energy node is pretty flipping good. So lets do some math.

100 Energy = 5 Shard (Give or Take)
500 Energy = 2 Star Unlock
1,000 Energy = 3 Star Unlock
2,900 Energy = 5 Star Unlock
6,600 Energy = 7 Star Unlock
So probably 6800-7200 Energy to Max

That is going to be quite a bit of energy.

Funny how your maths are completely wrong and you got 4 likes anyways. Looks like maths ain't the strongest stats of everyone here.

Drop rate is 4%/energy. Which means is takes 25 energy to reach 100%. That also means it should yield 4 crystals/100energy average. And since the rest of yiur calculations were based off that 5shards/100 it makes it all wrong.

There is a whole other topic devoted to the topic where I and several others go back and forth on the topic and they explain the math really well on the topic. At the end our discussion, I realized where I had erred in my initial calculations through their efforts and conceded the point that the 8,250 number was a more realistic expectation for players that wanted to 7 star the shuttle. However, these calculations are correct for what they are using the process that I used. If I sim 5 nodes, I have a chance to get 5 bonus shards having spent only 100 energy. If a person were to only use 20 energy nodes and got every single bonus drop, then the numbers are completely accurate, but not realistic for any player. On a semi-related note, just because people like a post does not give indication of their math skills since a person can like a post for any number of reasons. Maybe they were bored, maybe they appreciated the fact someone attempted to give an answer and give them some idea of what to expect. The point is that it is impossible to know why a person liked something unless they state it in a post and belittling them does not enhance the point you are trying to make.
