The 16 and 20 energy sim data is basically meaningless. And 16.5% on 121 sims is not surprising, nor would 26.5% be.

Its not meaningless.

Its data & it feeds into the total # of sims examined.

You have to do a little more math than I've given here, but its still data.

End result is even if I was at my "predicted" 36 shards right now I wouldn't be trending for 80.

And at 28 I'm not even trending to 50 which was what I stated.

Gotta love this sweet drop rate... I messed and missed a 20 sim with only 1 shard dropping...

Ouch, that has to hurt. I looked at that list of characters & was like, no thank you, far to many useless things in there for my taste.

1778 Energy Spent
1.5748% Drop Rate

I’d like to see those that unlock for 1250 crystals post

I got to 81 shards today with about 2500 crystals.

I would like to see some sort of audit and/or certification done by an external accredited security firm to ensure that CG are using approved rng algorithms and also that they’ve implemented them correctly to achieve the game rules that they claim.

I think many of us would like to see anyone collect data and show that they are not doing what they have said, because for all the threads and theories we see, not a single set of credible data has ever come up proving anything other than what they have stated, or consistancy with what other players have proven (when it has not been stated by CG)

You would think with all the hate and distrust out there that there would be alot of players trying to prove they have done something wrong, yet we have yet to see it.

Also, not sure what an "approved algorithm" is, or if there is such a thing in this industry.

Lots of data in this thread. You could add yours?

Sure, 52/80 spent 1350 crystals.
But it doesn’t really matter if a few hundred of players collect their data, it doesn’t really guarantee anything about the generation of randomness or how CG use those values.
I’m not saying it’s rigged but there can be bugs or other errors that an security firm could validate by going through source code and libraries used.
And after getting a certificate CG could have that badge published and no one would ever dispute that things are working as it should.

After 2 days, I had spent 1050 crystals (spent 3 x50 refreshes just before the event went live, which was technically the previous day from the game's point of view, then 3x50+3x100 for each live day of the event).

At that point,I was at 43/80, which was just slightly above the listed drop rate of 20% for my 10 energy node (I'm farming gear exclusively)

285 + 360 = 645 = 64.5 attempts/day with 3 days remaining. The final 1/2 attempt won't count for anything, thus...

At a drop rate of 20%, that's 0.2 * 193 = 38.4 new blueprints expected from 450 more crystals.

43 + 38 = 81 blueprints on a total of 1050 + 450 = 1500 crystals.

So, if you pre-spent to load up on fleet energy, you could just barely get to unlock on 1500 crystals. I'm really not sure where anyone got any ideas that it would be cheaper than that.
