Drop rate is definitely lower. Don't give me the bull about energy regeneration has changed. If you want this ship, you have to spend CRYSTALS to refresh energy. That hasn't changed. Unless they want to halve the cost of crystal refreshes, they need to keep the drop rate the same.
This is getting ridiculous. Not sure if I can take much more of this post-carrie CG. Everything is more expensive, some supposed new content coming.... But then again, we were promised a new raid like 6 months ago, so not sure about their credibility anymore.
Even CG Crumb has lost his fun. Remember when he used to give us puzzles? Or even cool little hints in road aheads? Those were the good old days...
