Might you be forthcoming with which collections got buffed?

10k someodd dil, picked up one copy of young, gave up. These odds on high demand new golds in Tuesday packs sure seem sketchy at best. Sure you get 1 gold on average per 10 10x pulls 1/100 so it meets the drop rates for A gold. But the high demand new golds seems to be.... Much more elusive than the existing golds.

Just my experience, please don't respond, I don't check forums often.

Greetings Captains, just to clarify your requests. Do you believe theirs a Shortage of C-Components or just an Imbalance? Let us know. LLAP

There is an imbalance of more databases vs research across all skills. As others have pointed out, there is no need for both of them to begin with when everything requires equal numbers of both.

Furthermore there is an imbalance with less med and sci research than other skills. There have been weeks where there hasn't even been enough med research to fully quip one crew to complete continuum.

In summary, there is a shortage caused by multiple imbalances.

To address the research/database imbalance just combine them. What possible reason is there to have them separate in the first place? It's just more annoyance in the game for no reason that I can see.

There is a clear shortage of MED components caused by an imbalance in the number of away missions for each of the 6 skills. Case in point, of the 32 away missions on this week's continuum, only 3 are MED. In an ideal world there would be 5-6 missions for each skill.

There is also an imbalance between the availability of research and database components for certain skills, primarily SCI and ENG. It doesn't matter how many research components you have if you've run out of databases, so they need to drop at roughly equal rates.

I’d say it’s both. There’s a shortage of med and sci components and there’s an imbalance of components (between databases and research components). I’m particularly short on science and medicine research components.

What's continuing to make the imbalance worse is that the two most impacted skills are MED and SCI, and one of the few trait quipment that gives MED gives MED and SCI. But boosting a MED crew with a little SCI doesn't help clear SCI nodes. So instead, players are wasting needed SCI research components in an attempt to save MED research components.

There should be more MED boosts that don't have pointless other skills attached to it. What about a Romantic/Caregiver trait combo? Give it the same 650 (240-300) as Sword of Kahless, but with a MED boost instead.

We have been told by the DEVs that there are no plans to add to the pool of ships available on the Dabo wheel, which is meant to provide useful schematics for newer players. Therefore, it would be ideal for the arena to pull from a pool of ships that aren't in the Dabo pool of ships (at least for the 4* and 5* ships).

Were we told that by Ben or someone official? I recall Frank saying it, but never Ben or Joe saying it in an official interview

I seem to recall that coming up either as a response to one of those player surveys, or during a roadmap video or podcast appearance... I am 92% certain I didn't just make it up
