Why is the Emperor’s Shuttle soooo hard to farm?

Seriously, it’s not that tough. I thought farming the Y-Wings was bad but this… I’d been farming the shuttle for a while. I started farming the Star Fortress right after I got the shuttle to 5 star, I took the Star Fortress from 4 star to 7 star before I finally got the Shuttle to 6 star. I’ve been doing it multiple times a day during the double drops and so far I have 6 more shards!!??

Why?

  • I don't think its just the shuttle bud, ship shard drops rates for me are pitiful, I doubt I'm alone in this feeling. Ultimately the low rates are designed to frustrate the players into purchasing the shards via crystals & thus enters the gimme your money mode of the game. End of really. 

    You can go about your business and move along.

      That’s my point ship farming sucks… why is the Emperor’s Shuttle even worse than the rest? It’s like the drop rates haven’t changed in the 6 years since they introduced it.

  • ship farming has always been harder then character shards don't think about it just take day by day i usually do 4 refreshs for ships long as im only focused on the ship im farming it doesn't take that long doubt they'll change it or make it same drop rate as character shards they've always been like this

    All ship farming is harsh because fleet arena is where you get crystals.  And they have little concern for fleets, as the current debacle they created proves.

    Ship farms, a sad majority of them, are ruthless time sinks sitting on Hard Nodes. Definitely a frustrating grind. 

  • I keep detailed lists. Emperor's shuttle took me from 30/80 fragments on December 19th to 103/100 in February 17. Every day, 3 refreshes.

    REbel Y-wing from June 15th to November 1st. I did stop from July 14th to august 23 to focus on other characters/ships.

     

    I hear you, ships are hella painful.
