Anyone have a shortage of ship Omegas? The only place to get them is fleet challenge that happens three times a week and it seems I'm lucky to get a couple when each time it runs. I know there are a few events that come around once in a while but there really is no other place to farm them. It says they are in the fleet battles stage 5 normal side but I have simmed 5 days straight of those nodes and not got a single one. I just wish they would put them in one of the shipment stores. I know it's in the weekly shipment currently and I bought those but it is only a pack of 2. Just curious if everyone else is having the same problem or am I missing some way of earning them.

It's definitely an issue. I suggested months ago CG add one to the daily rewards box.

I have never had a surplus, but farming Nest brings in a few extra each week to keep the upgrades going.

I always thought of ship omegas like squad omegas. You shouldn't have enough to do everyone at once, but have to pick and choose who to focus on (or, to be fair, pay cash money.) Kind of like the reenforcement mats being something of an anologue to zeta mats. Makes you choose who to max and who to shelve. That said, I totally would take an extra handful for my rebels right now too! ?

I guess maybe it's because I never use them on ships I dont intend on using....I have about 20 ships fully maxed and am sitting on 397 omegas right now

I run out of purple ability mat for my pilots way before i run out of ship omega. I think out of all the grind required for a ship (pilots shards, ship shard, fleet credits, pilot gear, pilot abilities, ship abilities), ship abilities are so far down the bottleneck list i never reach the point where i need them and don’t have them.I could understand how someone who focus a lot on ships and upgrade way more ships than me might run out though, since it’s true we get them very slowly. I don’t think there is a way around it except think carefully about which ability needs to be maxed and which can stay at 6/7.

The rate is fine, but it’s easy to suddenly deplete >100 omegas from just upgrading 2 ships.

Even just 1 ship. 3 pilot ships require 95 omegas to max.

Been an issue just surprised it is only getting notice now. Lots of gear and ability bottlenecks with all the changes and content.

I started doing the highest tier of Contraband Cargo because I'm always short on Prestige and ship omegas. Better value for me now than a 1/6 chance of ReyFalcon shards.

Ya the drop rate is horrible with those. Just like getting an omega from cantina. All unicorns
