We haven't had a chase event using regular energy have we?
I only remember cantina and fleet so far.
If that's the case our best assumption would to follow the modified fleet energy drops since regen rate and refresh cost are the same.
I can't see them giving us an 80% drop rate for these tickets. I guess we can thank all the people who shared screen shots of insane energy numbers (here's looking at ahnald) -_-
I can't imagine there being a good reason as to why they're deliberately trying to slow down the rate at which we unlock GLs. It's not like every player had both Rey and Kylo already.
