USELESS Items in Gauntlet and Dabo
I'm constantly getting items I don't need for crew I don't have in Gauntlet and Dabo.
Anyone else?

If you don't have any items to equip on crew, you just get random stuff.
I'd also like to add that I finished a gauntlet tonight and FIVE of the SEVEN chests were trainers.
If they ever changed the trainer drops in the gauntlet to honor drops, I would never complain about it again.
Put me in that camp as well, I have over 2k of each trainer, I am all set.
Then one day it broke and started giving you personalized items for either crew you had immortalized, or even crew you didn't have at all.
Add it to the list of bugs that have been plaguing the game for months/years that DB ignores.
Even if it was only a small amount, honor is what people want, for sure.
I have 20K+ 1*, 2*, and 3* trainers, and over 6K+ of 4* and 5*, and that is with me melting them down by the hundreds in my replicator, and I'm positive there are people out there with orders of magnitude more than me. Trainers, as you point out, are essentially a non-prize; virtually ANYTHING would be more useful/appreciated/valued than trainers!
Yes, 2000 trainers is enough to do anything. As @ByloBand suggested, there are players - like me! - that have maxed their trainers. I have around 28,000 of the 1* and 2* flavors, and my 3*/4*/5* trainers are constantly maxed at 32,767. Doesn't matter how many crew I level - every voyage brings me right back to max. I don't bother using them in the replicator, because I also have thousands of rations and thus no need to burn anything else.
Yes yes yes yes to all manner of honor drops in place of trainer drops. I cannot stand it when I hit a 30-streak in gauntlet and I get blue trainers as a reward.
Try going up to a streak of 108 (eh my best friend and i were competing to see who could get the biggest streak) and having the rewards be 85% blue trainers, 2 words
RAGE QUIT!!!!
Gauntlet didn't change, but the algorithm breaks down when you don't have crew with items to equip. As you start to level more crew quickly and don't have crew sitting with 2*-4* items waiting to equip, the algorithm falls back to random items. If you leave a couple crew partially leveled with their items ready to be equipped you'll see they start to show up in gauntlet and dabo again.
That's only partially true. I always leave some equipment open but I've gotten random 4/5*'s a few times.
In a recent survey from DB, they asked "what can we do to improve the game" or something like that, and fixing the Dabo loot table was my answer.
Actually I don't think is broken. I noticed that those mostly useless items in Dabo are actually for the crew I airlocked in the last few hours. Maybe in last 24 hours or less
Game obviously see them as still active and gives you items for them.
The blue trainer drops from gauntlet are the biggest joke in this game... Sure, purple and gold trainer drops are garbage too but blue trainers barely even take a level 10 character up a level FFS... they're completely and utterly useless EVEN to new(ish) players
These are both great theories, but proven wrong. I have over 70 unleveled 2-5* crew that could all use different items.
Instead I'm getting dabo rewards for crew I immortalized months ago.
Are the crew all partially leveled and trained. As an example. I mean do you have a crew at level 80 with unequipped items at level 73,76,80 or similar?
Those were the types of items I would get back when I still had several crew I would work on at once.

i was right. So now the possibility that that is what db uses is even more prevalent...
I have a dark secret...i like to install xp on vms...and run viruses on them
The majority of items (not all, one or time that are common) on the Dabo Wheel I need. I train all my crew immediately to the next 10th level. The Dabo Wheel usually provides me the opportunity to get I nice piece for a crew member that is a level 30 or 40.
I will say that I have been playing for over 6 months and I have not received anything on the top row (at least I don't think I have). It would be nice if STT did loosen the odds for the top row...
Sure it did. Windows 2000.
It used to be an even bigger joke. At the beginning there were green and white trainer drops also. If they can ditch those, they can ditch the rest too.
Oh thats right...i totally forgot!! It was the best of times, it was the worst of timelines...
