Zeta mats from ships.

Yep happens quite often. Longest dry spell I've ever had was 7 weeks no zetas from challenges.

I just went through a six week dry spell....longest I've had by far but it happens

6 weeks?! I guess two weeks isn't that bad. I was usually getting at least one mat every day it was available.

I am currently sitting at 0/16 for the last four ship challenges.

Those are just bonus drops. The real zeta mats come every other day from fleet store.

What ship challenges give zeta mats? I only know of one (the building mats one) and as far as I know you only get two sims per challenge (I don't have the zeta level unlocked yet). So for four challenges I would think you only get 8 attempts.

Top tier can give two zeta mats per attempt.

The average drop rate for the top tier is slightly higher than 50% (1 zeta mat per 2 sims).
The average drop rate for the second highest tier is about 33% (1 zeta mat per 3 sims).

(Yes, that's from a high number of tracked sims)

I haven't seen that tracked data but the ~50% feels about right to me, I do probably average about 1 zeta mat per each of the three days.

I see people say they haven't gotten a single mat in 6 weeks and I'm highly skeptical.
