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

He’s the acting CM while crumb is away on paternity leave and while they find Doja‘s replacement. It is literally his job at the present to communicate with us. Just because this occurred before he took over doesn’t absolve him of relating an answer from the devs to us. You said that there was an answer you were given, but couldn’t tell us and that a CM/dev needed too.

Well if there’s an answer and we have devs and a CM who have working forum accounts and the ability to type and communicate, I think they owe us an explanation on:

1.) Why the drop rate was lowered
2.) Why they have the nerve to ignore the community and give excuse after excuse as to why this can’t be answered.

100%

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

Obviously even worse, though that means it's not possible to unlock even with hoarded energy and 3x refreshes per day. Plus hard to hoard when we don't know where it's dropping.

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

4 refreshes per day without hoarded energy. Or maybe 7? the Fleet selection seems to assume a slower refresh rate.

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.

@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.

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

CG still doesn't care. Just gamble with your crystals since you have no way of knowing what the drop rate will actually be.

You don't need to gamble all that much. My plan (for the unlock) is to start with 100 and 2 200 refills and cut back as I'm close to reach the goal. Pretty foolproof in that I won't be doing extra 200s.

What if the Chase is on Fleet but you hoarded Cantina?
