PSA: Chase drop rates have been lowered

@CG_Tusken_Meathead while we appreciate hearing about your cat, your favorite letter, and your favorite color, this is the sort of thing we actually want to know.

Why would you expect that. This is exactly how things went with Doja. Whether or not the CMs want to communicate is irrelevant. It's clear they won't or can't when it matters most.

After looking back on my time here, being a cm for cg sounds like a great gig: get paid for posting random fluff, get to choose what questions to ignore, don't have to be held to account for ignoring multiple threads about important issues, and your bosses are cool with you not communicating at all - bc they actually prefer it that way. The position is just lip service (just like their "anticheat" department). God knows why we needed two ....

Optics

But the optics are horrible….so it’s actually a net negative.

He can't talk about this since this was a thing before he joined and he's not too familiar with the issue to speak on it, and there is lots of other things he needs to catch up on

Ultra ? Crumb? Anyone?

idk whats going on with the delay, and i've stopped following up for an official response

1. Thanks for trying, even though its not your job. 2. This is just another example, in a long line of examples, of how CG says one thing and does another.....then ignore it until it goes away. We, or at least I, am not letting this one go.

Also, Meathead can speak on it...15 mins of research and hes up to speed...the devs SHOULD already have the answer since Doja already asked them....unless that was just another lie.

Personally, I don’t think meathead needs to concern himself with this as this issue is not as straightforward for him to look up and comment on

We also accept a statement from a Dev

Can he not just copy and paste what the devs tell him? I don’t really see why he needs to have any personal knowledge of the situation to do that

And now that we have another Chase inbound, should we not get an explanation of the drop rates? Why they are more complex than "3% per energy spent" is beyond me, but it would be excellent information to have.

What if the drop rate for the next chase is 2% :O

If anyone calculates with the current rates, how many refills will be needing for this next 4* unlock?

I got 5* for both the previous chase ships doing 3*100 + 2*200 refreshes plus hoarded energy at the start.

I got 4* with the same.

I made a table that can hopefully help you if you're planning to go for the galactic chase farms. I updated with the "stealth nerf" drop rate. Really though, this nerf should have been announced because I originally used the previous drop rate that was used for forever until these ships came out. I failed to get the blueprints to take star fortress to 5* because of it.
