MK 2 Circuit Breaker Module on the Era track

The content creators probably have thousands laying around. In addition to SR, you still get them passively from other sources. They are also now available in episode shipments, and the content creators, who get the pass, are probably looking for things to spend that currency on.

New players may indeed be feeling a crunch. But blue cylinders are more of a bottleneck. To slice a mod from 6E to 6A, you only need 30 of the pan handles, vs. 45 of the blue cylinders, in ADDITION to the *50* that it took to go from 5A to 6E. So the numbers from 5* to 6A are blue cylinders: 95, orange cylinders: 65, pan handles: 30, gold fans: 30. 

Time will tell if removing it from the track will really bottleneck new players long term even if they build up their squads for SR, certain ABs, Conquest. Or, they will start getting these things and be bottlenecked by the others. But it's probably not on most content creators' radars, given all the other drastic changes going on with the game. These things are like injector salvage to them (why THOSE are still on the rewards track, I don't know). 

In the meantime, I guess I would suggest farming and spending currencies on the things you need like you've always had to do.
