Randomness of data disks
Ruins the mode. Pure luck on what data disks are given and they change the game mode entirely.

5.936 GP, no GLs, no DR or Malak, (working on JML, 8/15 currently) less than $80 spent lifetime with the game.
Just reached Sector 5 Boss. Not a SINGLE PURPLE DATA DISK dropped. Zip, nada, nothing. Just the same consistent Data Disks over and over. Some were duplicates in the same selection box (that's a poor "random" algorithm, IMHO)
Now, before one says,
"Well, what's your problem? You still reached the very end. The lack of the "better" Data Disks did not hold you back."
I counter that it will hold me back from achieving higher reward boxes. Just because I reached the end does in no way mean it was a success. After all, the Consumables also offer a temporary Boost that cannot be overlooked.
The true success is in how far one can go to achieve the Feats and thus the higher reward boxes.
The mode is fun and interesting. I used CLS lead, Raid Han, Chewie, C3-P0, and ROLO to great effect. The other squad was Palpatine lead, Vader, Thrawn, B2, and Wat. The Cooling Systems buffs (stacking at 59%) combined with Offensive Buffs, Decay: Turn Meter, Ruthless Swiftness, and Stacking Offense are the Data Disks that are used to reach the Last Boss.
But the lack of the Purple Data Disk drops will affect anyone's ability to achieve the highest possible Reward Box. This needs to adjusted.
