Max limit on Micro Attenuators!?

Am I the only one who didn't realize our inventory of these is capped at 300? I haven't used them in awhile, and did the Smugglers Run II event today. When I didn't receive any in the rewards I was like WTF? Then I checked and sure enough, you can only have 300 (which I had). Two questions (really 3 I guess) for the Devs:
1. Why is there a cap on these? And why so low? 300 is not alot given sometimes it costs 75 of them for one upgrade
2. Given the cap, why don't the excess rewarded go into our Inbox like other mods? That would make sense, and give me a chance to use them and replenish rather than lose out on the rewards

Man this is now even more true than before! For example in the Smugglers Run III these are run twice both so you can get 184 on ONE event - thats more than 50% on one go. Cap is RIDICULOUSLY low! Nothing else caps that fast

Please make QoL increase the cap, thank you I dont want to hassle around each time I run something.

Today I learned the materials used to calibrate mods are called Micro Attenuators.

Here is a lesson for you then, "They" don't want you to hoard.
Assume any new type of resource will have a limit. Typically you can see this limit by going to where ever you can use them and/or aquire them.

That's because you're not appreciating the real danger, @TVF .

What if CG releases a new stat? What if all the new mods have Processability and you can't get more than 2 hits for any of your GLs while someone else has +57% Processability on their Mob Enforcer? WHAT WILL YOU DO THEN, SMART GUY?

Mod mats are the one thing I don't hoard. I can't see any good reason to do so.

I can't even fathom spending 150 on one mod no matter how amazing it is. I don't even like going past 25.

Agreed- the exponential increase in attenuator cost per slice is crazy. I've only gone up to 100. But, if I had 3000 hoarded, it might be another story lol. I like to hoard, despite CG telling us we shouldn't. Increasing the ways to obtain them would make it less painful also

Not really (with respect to "300 is loads"). It can cost up to 150 for one calibration. 300 would only allow you to do 2. What other mats are capped that strictly? None that I can think of. It should be uncapped, or at least capped at a reasonable number. If the max it will cost is 150 per slice, I would say allow us to at least get up to 1,500

It may take awhile to accumulate that many but you can easily spend 300 on just two mods.
