Signal data changes a trap?

Oh? Is there already data on the zeta drops in the old tier 8 nodes?

I feel

Ah, yes. Rock-solid data upon which to base your conclusions. Egnards is collecting drop rate info in a spreadsheet. The changes are literally one day old, it'll take some time to collect enough data to draw conclusions. 

There is precedent to extrapolate from. Node drop rates is, to my recollection, the one thing CG has never screwed the playerbase on. There's a lot we can point to in terms of screw ups or even deliberate maliciousness, but there is no reason to expect the new tier 9 cantina nodes to be at least as good or slightly better than the old tier 8 nodes, which are still there, btw. You're free to keep farming those. 

I notice these nodes are aweful.

You didn't even notice your spelling mistake, or the mix up with whether/weather, so I doubt you actually noticed anything meaningful about the quality of the new nodes. 

I literally have no problem with what they’ve done.  My drip rates are good and I get two forms of signal data instead of one farm.  The other nodes have also been good.  1% drop on a zeta isn’t bad.  

1) gather your own data. 
2) learn the difference between whether and weather 

I really like the new cantina nodes. 4 extra energy to farm two different signals at the same time? Don't get me wrong I have a lot of issues with CG but this was such a good change even if the farm rates are the same, you still double up on different signals you generally need anyway. New update does have some issues, this is not one of them. I'll give credit where due 

What's wrong with paying 20 energy for the same drop rate that you used to pay 16 for? /s
