Just to provide a counterpoint, I'm not sure how people are using all their Medical components. I fully equip at least 1, usually 2 crew each week with maximum Med gear and never run out of it. Even then for MED voyages, I usually hit 16k MED with just 2 Maxed MED crew and don't need to equip more than 2 and it would actually be counter productive going over it. I think if people stick to maxing 2 MED crew per week they should be fine?

We hear you, but from your pic you only have 68 Med Research & 93 Med database ... compared to your next lowest 227 Eng Research/283 Cmd Database! Having to manage Med when we don't really have to manage the other 5 means Med is a little short on dropping (although if it's becasue they're aren't that many Med nodes...)! Adm TrialNeverEnds

This week is the first time I will not be able to complete the whole thing. Out of 96 total nodes for all missions, there are only 6 Meds, and they are particularly weak rewards. It would me take 3 refreshes to get enough Med Qipments just to clear the last Med node. Definitely not worth it.

After hearing about the complaint about lopsided node rewards a few weeks ago, and telling us they were looking into it, WRG seems to have forgotten about it completely this week.

Greetings Captain, we certainly are still investigating if there is a shortage or just Imbalance distribution. Through some scans on our data and interacting with you Captains, seems like an Imbalance rather than shortage. We're still looking and considering possible changes in upcoming updates if situation gets more challenging in the future. LLAP

There is an "imbalance" because there is a shortage of drops of one of the two components needed.



37 of one Component, ZERO of the other in example above.

EDIT: Things were not helped by increasing the amounts needed of each material, but not increasing the amounts of each material dropped.

Perhaps have each Node drop the same amount {3-5} of EACH of the two components needed.

If people are struggling just to equip Crew for Nodes in the Continuum Missions, defeats the stated purpose of Quipment helping in other parts of the game.




No offense is intended at all in any way. I'm just trying to provide constructive feedback and help clarify the issue.


On an unrelated note, the much more unobtrusive "yellow sweep" does look much better than the original!

I'm glad the merits are gone - it felt very silly getting something so trivial for all that work. (If we're measuring everything in terms of honor, they're 80% of a pull that typically gives 175 so 140.)

I like the idea of getting crew for the hardest level, but new crew is better than a behold - like Ubiquitous Borg Queen. (Maybe we could have an alternating month of beholds/4 copies of a new crew for a month?)

I had it just now on Cost of Living ( Choice B ). It's the usual 100 honor and 75 chronitons, and then a further 150 honor.

So not quite as good as what you'd get from dismissing a SR, and obviously no chance (however small) of getting a useful star, but quite a bit better than rations IMO.

Regarding the adjustment in awards - really not happy about the reduction in quantum and dilithium. Am balanced between happy and let’s see how it goes regarding the 5* behold.

My crew is at the point where I have many immortalized legendaries however as the latest honor sale proved there are some pulls where I’m getting choices where either one or two of the cards are already done. I think the odds are still in my favor here.

So we’ve been traded an extra crew retrieval per month for a chance to add a copy to a card every week (depending on what you have and what the behold gives you) or an entirely new card. I guess depending on what you get it your reward could be 500 honor, not a really good trade off from getting dilithium before.

So they changed the rewards to 150 Quantum (-100 compared to current rewards), 150 Dilithium (-100 compared to now), -500 merits and +1x5*behold. I don't think this is really significantly any better or worse. 100 Quantum difference is 1/9 of a Citation (900 Quantum) so if we do the math, 40k honor during a sale is 1 Citation + 1 begold and 1 begold is 10k so 1 Citation is 30k, 1/9 of 30k is slightly above 3k honor less per week compared to what we get now. So we trade -100 dilithium and - 3k honor and -500 merits for +10k honor (which is the worth of a begold).

Personally seems like a meh change and I'm not excited or disappointed. It'll be harder to collect Dilithium and citations but over time you'll get more crew, even if what you get will be quite random. I actually hope they revive the idea of exclusive Quantum Crew, I really like the Borg Queen and it was like a monthly Mega crew on top of the bi-monthly normal Mega crew.
