This drop rate is a little worse than when it comes out for real,

I don't think that is right.

5 Sims on a 20 Energy Node = 100 Energy

2% = 2 Shards
Average Shads per 5 Sims at normal 1/3 rate is 1.67.

So assuming a 20 energy node, I think this is still better.

Yeah, you're right. I finished Sith Fighter a couple weeks ago and have no more hard node characters or ships to farm, so I didn't think about hard nodes as an option. I should probably farm so e hards with good gear drops until this thing is over, I might wind up with more blueprints in the long run. Thanks for the heads up!

They are looking into this.

it seems from a few of the numbers posted above that the overall rate is approaching 2% which seems right, since the old was 4% and they changed the rates for energy.......how much cost that will equal to doesnt' seem to line up with previous models, which is also shown in a few posters data.....

The drop rates and energy rates weren't broke before. Why are they trying to "fix" something?

They explained why. Earlier Galactic Chases were back when you had half as much fleet energy. You have more now, so they tuned the drop rate down to keep the expected value the same.

As Kyno said, though, since the event is only a couple days long it's going to have a wider spread of results in the final analysis, but it's long enough that most folks are going to hit that expected return.
