Here’s one mod I bought recently...

I think your advice is slightly off. Not many people would turn that mod down.

I never would have bought that Mod to start with. The 4 x speed you rolled on that, saved you from wasting 3+ million credits and the odds of that happening for others are ridiculously low.

Diamond mods are the most easily farmed mods in the game meaning their drop rate is among the highest when farming mods so it isn't a great idea to buy them. Triangles are by far the rarest in terms of drop rates so they are the best value in terms of buying mods from the store.

You might have to spend several 100's of points of mod energy just to see a single triangle mod drop. For diamond mods you have to do one or two battles and you'll have three to choose from...

You are missing context.

How good are your diamond mods? What's your credit situation? Was it for ship credits? What's your ship credit situation?

If I saw that for ship credits and it started +5 I would have bought it in a heartbeat. I'm sitting on nearly 30m in ship credits with nothing else to use them on and they keep building up if I don't buy a mod every so often.

There's a reason that people say mods are 100% luck are wrong...
