"slightly" pissed that DB thinks "slightly" means 50%

We were told Voyages were going to receive a slight adjustment. I just did an 8 hour and 57 minute voyage and got 405 chronitrons. That is about half what I used to get. In what universe is 50% considered slight?
I've been spending a lot of money on voyages, primarily for chronotrons. I don't buy packs unless I get a 10 for 10 deal. If DB wants to turn me back into a monthly card only buyer, then they have certainly figured out the best way to do that.

Useless...as long as they got their "DB is perfect" fans, everything else is just a storm in a glass of water...
Now I average about 1 crew drop that didn't come from a dilemma on voyages lasting around 7 hours. That's a huge loss of honor for something that was advertised as having more crew drop.
The people who complain about everything while continuing to play are at least as bad in this regard as your "DB is perfect" fans.
I'm often accused of being a DB is perfect person. I am more than willing to complain about things that I actually have a serious problem with. I will continue to pass on making complaints about things that do not matter.
Really, 800 chrons for an 8 hour voyage before? I’m pretty sure my max at the 8 hour dilemma was about 650-700, with a typical haul at that point of 450-600. The two I’ve done since were both in the 400-500 range at the 8 hr dilemma.
I was at 8 hrs and 57 minutes.

At 9 hours I was used to 550-700 normally before the changes, 800 would have been about my max.
I agree the 405 at 9 is on the low side, my last two were at 475 and 575 at 9hrs. From what I’ve seen on my small sample size the 0-8hr drop rates weren’t impacted too much, maybe 20-30%, but the drop rates after 8 came down more.
For me the difference seems only to be slight, most of my voyages last around 7h, some more, some less. I never extend voyages. For the long ones the difference seems to be more significant.
What I am more po-ed about is that less trainers means more trainers, that slightly reduced 1* crew means no 1* crew, that more crew means less crew, that no mentioning of replicator rations means the drop amount is 75% lower, that as a free player from now on you will only encounter the crappy dilemmas, no more 4* crew for you, etc.
Yes, communication on this was, to put it mildly, a mess. To straight out tell the truth, they intentionally lied to us. Otherwise they would have an explanation out by now. Comment moderated. ˜Shan
DB has probably several dozens gag orders out about topics nobody is allowed to make a public statement about. Their public statements seem very selective, about controversial issues that could haunt them nothing is ever said.
You may have been writing your post at the same time Erin wrote hers.

How hilarious. Have not seen that post yet. It's mostly about chronitons, the only thing that was indeed properly announced...at least it mentions the trainers, an explanation of why inflate an already useless item is not given though. Also not a word on crew decrease instead of increase, crew quality decrease, dilemma quality decrease, rations decrease.
All in all an unsatisfying response...but at least a response...
No 4* drops so far. None yesterday either.
Even a 20% decrease is not slight.
More crew (no my experience) for fewer chrons is not a great deal. You are increasing the backlog of crew that need leveled but which you cannot because you have fewer chrons.

They gave us both sides of the equation.
I'm one of those that skipped galaxy events once chroniton levels got stupidly high.
And now with the production update update, I may not even bother extending when I do get a 4* as mentioned in last post.
If Voyages are not going to be reverted
And is geared to non paying players, no point in me extending them.
Are you sure those are drops, not one time rewards for a choice in a dilemma?
I'm about 99% sure they reset the "this choice has been selected for the first time" switch on ALL of the dilemmas, which is also where they tied the new 4* crew too. Also where a 4* crew was rolled for on non-specific crew drops, and where schematics dropped. The second time you make the same choice on a dilemma you'll get the standard roll.
