Doesn't take much planning then.

It is also likely that the number of microns needed will take 4 or 5 mo ftp but have a pack available for whales. So no hurry. We'll get there.

I'll worry any other characters that need them once I see the ability and if it adds much utility. Like Zetas the best course is probably patience anyway.

I just don't get all the freaking out about a material you can't even use yet.

That's not a reasonable argument in a resource management game. Looking ahead and planning is not only valid, it's crititcal.

You can plan ahead but only to the extent of what you can control.

For omicrons, the only thing I can control is trying to get max crate on GC. I already do that. Further than that, we don't have enough information to decide which character abilities are best. And plenty of time to plan that out after you get close to getting a character that uses one or they rework a character.

I agree that planning ahead is critical but planning with incomplete information is foolish.

No. I think either way it's fair to assume more omicrons is better than fewer. Even if we don't know where to use them yet. It is highly unlikely you will find yourself with a surplus anytime soon.

I think I read that Hera will be the first character with an omicron ability. Hope I’m wrong

Probably not. But being as they affect only a single game mode, it is also unlikely that having to wait a couple more weeks to equip one will be all that detrimental. And it is also very likely that a ton of people will rush and do the first one announced only to have a later one be way better.

There is also very little you can do at the moment to get them faster. You can try to max gc (most do that anyway if they can).

You can refresh cantina to a reasonable extent. Already a good idea for the 100 crystal refreshes if you want signal data at a reasonable rate.

You can buy them in weekly shipments. It's so overpriced that there is no way it is worth that much lost gear for one piece. But the whales will whale.

So with that all covered, what's to plan at the moment. Whether the drop rate is .5% or 2%, it won't change my farming plans.

So far this is the most rare item. I really hope the abilities they provide are worth the wait. Farming is going to be so painful if we have lost of characters in the future to level up. This rare I hope the abilities are at zeta+ level. ?

Then by extension of this, isnt paying attention to what is pointed to as the main source and what is denoted as a place where "you can get a small amount", critical too?

I have 4 omicrons so far: i got 2 farming signal data with cantina energy and 2 from GC rewards

How do I have 6? Didn’t see any on cantina drops and was farming chirpa and paploo for the majority of the past week.

There was another GC payed out today, so you’ve got 4 from that and presumably 2 from Cantina nodes.

I always got red box in all the GC and i have only 4 omicrons so that’s weird. Pretty sure i only got 2 omicrons from GC

Yes. I'm not really saying anything regarding how to get them. Only that his original argument that it doesn't matter because you can't use them yet is flawed.

When you can't plan on how to get them and there's little or nothing you can do to efficiently increase your supply. (99% from gc), what exactly should I be planning.

Compared to the rarity of zetas when first introduced this is like a lolly scramble. 4 per week from GC is way quicker collection than zetas were. Plus other sources you'll easily have 20 per month if you complete most gc.

I remember something like a 6 month plan to get my zetas for CLS.
