Lack of Ship Omegas

The challenge runs three times per week, you get two bites at that apple, and get at least 2 Omegas per challenge (Can you get 1? I'm not logged in right now so I can't verify, but I don't recall ever getting less than 2), which means 12 per week just from the challenge. That's actually more than regular omegas per week.

The problem is that fleet omegas are still relatively new, so folks have barely had time to finish off their first ships and now that the ship meta has shifted a little they're having trouble getting the omegas for their new ships. It's kind of like when omegas first came out for characters (Remember that? Pepperidge Farms remembers.) and folks were legit arguing back and forth about how you should put an omega on Old Daka's basic or HK's leader ability first or second.

My issue isn't with omega materials (Although I'm short on them, to be clear, just like everyone else) it's reinforcement materials. There's no challenge for those, though you can get a few from an event once every couple weeks, and the first few fleet boards don't give any as drops.

Been farming them for 2 weeks straight on nodes that offer maximum tries, I've gotten 2. They seem to have a 5-10% chance to drop. I think the game would be greatly improved if the % chance was raised.

You get 1-4 and I have seen 1 on multiple occasions. What I cannot recall offhand is getting more than 2. I am sure I have at some point but like everything else it's heavily weighted toward the low end of the range.

I would say more like 3, maybe 3.5 mats per 2 attempts so about 9 or 10 per week.

Excluding Zetas, which have additional constraints, ships take more omega mats than characters and this is especially true for multi-crew ships. And there are less sources for ship omegas than character omegas.

I haven't personally had an issue with reinforcement mats, despite being a prolific ship collector. I find reinforcement abilities to be more of a mixed bag and more optional than omegas, which are often necessary to bring damage output or survivability up to a competitive level.

You have a chance at character Omegas in the challenges, daily activities, several events have them as rewards, and you can purchase them with fleet tokens or crystals on a regular basis. So I don't agree you get more ship omegas than character omegas in a week.

Plus a character omega ability takes 5 omegas to max out unless it has a zeta ability. To max out a ship ability it takes about 20 omegas I believe. I think all ships have at least 3 abilities so it would essentially take you about 5 weeks to max out a ship.

Then everyone has more and upgrading that ability doesn’t mean as much. As long as we all have the same chance at them it doesn’t matter if they became more scarce even.

reinforcement mats needed. you guys put new farmable ships in stage 1 fleet battles (Anakin and young lando) that don't drop the mats.

please advise on how to collect them??

They could just add some better chances to get the ship omegas at the nodes where you can farm them. I tried for a week farming them. Guess what I had 0 Omegas droped the whole week.

This game is based on grinding things. You will always have a shortage of something.

Ya I have been refreshing Fleet energy 3 time each day for the last four days and simming level 5 normal side that shows ship Omegas. I haven't got 1 yet. Must be a really low drop rate. (About like Omegas in cantina)

I understand everything is a grind and you have to pick and choose what you want to use your resources for. These ship Omegas just seem lacking. I mean anything else I can find in a shipment store on a some what regular basis or I can farm a certain node to get it. These are the first thing I have ran into that there is simply no way of grinding it out. Just wait on the challenge to drop me 2 or 3 ship Omegas 3 times a week.

Challenges are key here... 2 ships omegas makes up for the zero zetas i get every challenge day...just think in 14 weeks i will be able to max one ship and zeta zero characters Challenges are AWESOME.... for the people who benefit from my 0 zetas getting the 3’s and 4’s to balance out math....

Man i love challenge days because i live...LIVE for the letdown everytime.... masochism is amazing i lovvvve it

Edit no confirmation bias here have not gotten a 2 in over a month, two total once this month and 1 maybe 40% on two tries.... im riding 0’s like uurrrrrrorrrrrorrrrrr rides da banthas
