Screw this game

I do have some sympathy for this person. The drop rates of materials, character & ship shards are horrible to experience. I really would like to know if any of the developers actually have an account with a target character or ship and see how long it actually takes them just to obtain via the energy expenditure pathway.  When you only get 1 shard or none it really is truly tiresome. 

It has to be remembered that new players without full investment will not have vast resource of crystals to refresh nodes. I guess there in lays the problem of how do you get new players into the game and then want to stay.

I guess this poor souls experience might be a drop in Ocean in comparison to imminent game changes. Fingers crossed upcoming days fair us all well for enjoyment of game.
