I'm actually down to my last 800 gold ball slavage so a full gold ball is pretty handy at the moment.

Down to 800?

That's 16 full pieces...

Wrong, you need 60 gold ball salvage - the ones you gain from the STR Challenge - to make a full piece. Currently I can produce 13.

Whereas I have 2000+ medpac and data pad salvage.

Unless you got different rewards, you're thinking of the wrong gold ball. I got a Mk 8 BioTech Implant, which requires 50 salvage and is not challenge gear.

You know, I think you thrive in throwing red herrings about.

1 Mk 8 Biotech Implant = 60 x Mk 8 Biotech salvage + 50 x Mk 8 Biotech components

I'm running short on the Biotech salvages which are in fact challenge gear.

Well how many Biotech prototypes do you have?
Having 800 salvage means nothing if you don't have the prototypes to go with them. 1 can't be used with out the other.
You get ~50 salvage a week from challenge alone.
You get prototypes if you are lucky and they drop in raid or show in guild shop or shard shop.

So unless a player is buying prototypes in shipments for crystals or have the greatest rng you will tend to have more salvage then you can use, which is why the players asked for it to be removed.

You'd be surprised how easy it is to munch through that Biotech salvage. I obtain the components whenever they appear in the guild and shard shops. Also, 25 salvage for 375 crystals is a reasonably good trade off from shipments, so I normally get 1 or 2 of those per week. I probably get 50-80 components per week from shops.

However, 2,000 crytals to buy a full Biotech piece is madness.

50-80 prototypes a week is a long ways away eating up your stash of salvage. My estimate of ~50 a week was a low ball number.

I personally have 560 salvage and 120 prototypes. So only 120 of the salvage is usable at this point and the salvage will just grow. I have never come close to dropping below 200 salvage once I got it up there even when I was spending some money.

But hey maybe you are the 0.0000000000000001% (made up stat but probably close) of players in all of swgoh that like getting challenge gear in raids. I would prefer drops to be something i am not going to run out of.
I am happy with the full gear because it saved me 50 prototypes not because it saved me 60 salvage.
