Voyage Maximum number of Super rares?

KettleKorn

Is there a maximum number of Super Rares (purple) that will drop on a single voyage?

I recently had a 42 hour one and stopped receiving SR after 36 hours, as I had 8 at that point. Previously, I had a shorter 30 hour that also seemed to max out at 8 SR. Anybody have experience with this? I figure dilemma specific characters should drop after 8, but it could give me some other dilemma reward like schematics or items I guess.

Pfft. I've been starting to wonder if the max was 1, given how stingy Voyages have been for me of late. So far as I know, though, there is no formula to it. No "x 4*s for y time" thing. Just pure dumb luck.

I had 24 purple crew on my 67.5 hour voyage. 8 is certainly not the maximum

I've had 3+ voyages in a row not drop a SR between 6-8 hours. You just got unlucky for 6 hours. It's annoying, but not unheard of given RNG.

I had a Voyage drop an SR at the 4 hour mark the other day. Not new, but always unexpected. At the recall around 9 hours, that was still the only one. Other Voyages have yielded 8+ before the 12 hour mark, so it's just RNG hell.

There is no limit other than what RNG grants. I've done the research after Voyages was released, and also after the "nerfed Voyages" which really weren't nerfed. I've stated that you will find a Voyage to be "heavy" in one facet or another - Chrons, Trainers, Merits, Credits Components, or Crew. You will know what it's leaning towards, and if you want to continue on then you will most likely continue to be favored in that facet.

If you're running Voyages for as long as you're saying... and you choose all the right paths for Dilemmas, you should be able to get 6 of the 8 Voyage only crew (2 Dilemmas only allow for a choice of one or another - Fierce Guinan or Dr. Leonard McCoy, and Colonel Worf or Ensign Picard). As for other SR drops, it's all in the hands of the RNGods. You could go 36 hours and get ZERO random SR's - highly unlikely, but very possible as it's not guaranteed! Only guarantees are Chrons, Trainers, Merits, Credits, Components, and any crew (2* - 4*) from each Dilemma. When you revive a Voyage using dilithium, you are NOT buying into SR's at all. Voyages are still the best way to earn chrons in the game based on time and quantity.

I wholeheartedly agree!

Given the small sample size of 2 long voyages and your answers, it's just coincindence/RNG I only had 8 SR's at my voyage recall.

Oh... RNG gods smiled on you...

Now that you mention that, it seems really obvious . . . I feel a bit silly for not figuring it out myself. I always just passed it off as RNG for the way voyages seemed to swing towards specific things.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler's_fallacy

The gambler's fallacy, also known as the Monte Carlo fallacy or the fallacy of the maturity of chances, is the mistaken belief that, if something happens more frequently than normal during a given period, it will happen less frequently in the future (or vice versa). In situations where the outcome being observed is truly random and consists of independent trials of a random process, this belief is false.

Add Replicator Rations. Sometimes get more of them than anything.


I just had THREE whole Chronitons when I got to the first Dilemma on my Voyage. Lowest I have ever seen. What drops is definitely random.
