I had three 50+ during Guinan's run. No Whoopies from those streaks.
RNGsus be praised.
no wonder I can't get one you have them all!!!!
Of course, the 3 and 6 streaks are the most common so.........
"Man, Flemming; The Gauntlet really hates you!"
Are we talking about the loot box system or gauntlet in general? Heck saying the entire game is *sort of* (dont wanna be to negative) design wouldnt be too bad of a stretch right now!
IMO, The Gauntlet is a great example of how religions get started. It is profoundly luck-driven, prone to all sorts of wacky results, seemingly governed by nothing more than pure chaos, and yet occasionally against all sense a good result occurs, and people scramble to make sense of it.
I've gotten into a few discussions on this sub-forum about The Gauntlet before and some people will absolutely SWEAR that the only way to do well is to chase streaks, while others insist that only boxes for final placing will yield results.
It all has the feel of "Life of Brian". Every time I see something where somebody says streaks are pointless, victory is found from crates for ranking all I see is "Cast off the shoes, follow the gourd!"
I find it fascinating that people have such a devout and unshakable belief in any ordered and reliable strategy for a game system so completely and utterly governed by chaos.
PM for details.
So long and thanks for all the fish.
Have one each of Banjo Man, Guinan, and Locutus, pretty sure all came from streaks of 6 or less.
1. Voyage.
2. Have fun. If something isn't fun, don't do it.
3. Only pursue characters I care about.
4. Contribute to the fleet.
5. No more spending beyond monthly cards.
6. Have fun.
7. Voyage.
8. Have fun!
The game can be described as "The House always wins". Bad design all around instead of logic. My guess is lack of money in the beginning, after paying for the Star Trek IP.
The only winning strategy for me is remaining a f2p. You can't argue with results.

Slightly off topic i remember when i finally got my first gold box through streaks and got 3* trainers, I was like really that wasn't worth it.
I only say this because between the forums and fleet chat, Caretaker seems to be virtually impossible to get lately, (except for @Peachtree Rex!) where a couple months ago he seemed to be dropping a few times a week.
