zRnG is a thing of.....frustration

I'm sure there's already been a thread about this but I jus want to bring to light once again how crappy the drop rate is for Zetas in the ship challenge! After spending so much time getting the damn ships and what not needed to farm these ninja stars, I've come to realize that the real headache is the drop rate of these things which must be extremely low! After a month of farming I've only accumulated 2?!?! Seriously?!?! Frickin 2! I held off not buying any for the ridiculous price of 2000 ship tokens for a single piece for the purpose of upgrading my ships but now I have begun to buy them because the rng for them is horrible! Why aren't we guaranteed atleast 1 for each of the 2 try's?!?! Smdh

    You are right. It has been threaded to death. Read this post and be enlightened. https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/97598/rng-i-think-not/p1

    Once i got three stars on the challenge i stopped farming blueprints in fleet shipments. I suggest you do the same if you don't care too much about ships.

    I have enough to Zeta someone. I got over half my Zeta's from the fleet store for the ridiculous price you mentioned.

    Not so ridiculous when I can Zeta someone and you can't.

    Based on 6 weeks of farming (6x3x2 = 36 attempts), it seems like there's a roughly 47% chance to get 1, ~5% chance to get 2, and 47% to get nothing (2 doubles, 17 singles, 17 zeroes). It seems like you're definitely getting the short end of the Zeta stick, and frustration is definitely warranted.

    Luckily, Zetas are always available in Fleet shipments with exactly zero RNG. Depending on where you place you can get several a week. I've picked up a couple that way, but obviously not terribly viable if you need 18.

    47% chance to get 1? Definitely not. My experience for almost two months was about 80% nothing, 19% 1 and only one time I got 2

    The problem is there are also Stun Cuffs and other gear I want to spend in Fleet Shipments rather than Zeta. What was the point of being able to SIM Tier III of the Challenge if I can still only get Zeta in the shop?
