Total crap. 0 out of 17 battles.

Note- I usually do battles in small batches but was in a rush. This is still ridiculous though

Note- it makes no difference if you do that or not.

by 3s is the best way to go. ;)

Well 20 energy is definitely not dropping at 80%

It shouldn't be, that would not yield the end result of 2% drop per energy.

Down the line you'll be closer to getting this ship to 7* than you would if it were a straight marquee, and that's where the real value is.

unfortunately that is not true.

if you took the amount of crystals someone is going to use to get 4*, and applied that to say a marquee months later and bought the shards in the store, you will be in a much better place on the path of 7*.

I was saying if you only do the 50 crystal refreshes, you'll probably end up with 60-70 shards by the end of the Chase. (285 daily energy + 360 energy from refreshes * 2% * 5 days = 64.5 - a few more if you banked ship energy prior to the event). This is 10-20 more shards than if you had a marquee which gives you a fixed 50 shards, plus you are getting all of the other shards or G12+ salvage that you are already farming.

As most premium ship shards are 100 crystals each (prorated) then 750 crystals (5 days at 150) for 10-20 shards (plus 20% drop rate on G12+ and 33% drop rate on character/ship shards) is a pretty good value. Is it as good a value as previous Galactic Chases? No, but it's still better than a straight marquee release.

If you go into the 100 crystal refreshes to unlock at 4*, it still isn't a terrible value, as 120 energy translates to 2.4 shards. As long as you space these over the 5 days, you can probably unlock the Y-Wing for only 1250 crystals. That's clearly a better value than getting a marquee ship at 3* and then buying 50 shards in shipments for 5000 crystals.
