Item drop

KTz

Two days runing ads from half to half hour, resulting 0 3* emitter crytals. Factions give one per a full day shuttles. Is this item exist anymore or it is a piece special to replicate? Fix this absurdity please.

I have the same problem with level 3 alcohol. It is annoying but at least we can use replicators

The wrong mission is often listed for 3* alcohol. And often, the best one is not listed at all. I always check the wiki on ones that I don't know the best mission by heart. You may have to go to the Galaxy Map and run the mission in question directly — in this case, Operation Isolate (the 8th distress call in the Celestial Temple), on Normal difficulty.

A similar thing may be happening with the Emitter Crystals (quite a few items have been messed up in this manner, with incorrect missions showing, for a very, very long time... and DB has done nothing to fix this), so if you're not sure, maybe take a look at the wiki and see if you're running the best mission, KTz.

Do NOT trust/use the in-game list, it fails to correclty sort ANY Battle Ship mission. I just posted a lengthy mimimi-complain-post, listing the most severe bugs of the drop lists here: https://forum.disruptorbeam.com/stt/discussion/comment/47088/#Comment_47088

A few examples: Top listed mission vs. first ship battle mission, using the wiki drop rate info:
3* Synthesized Polymer: 171 vs. 27.2 (factor of 6.2)
3* Emitter Crystal: 94.5 vs. 49 (factor of 1.9)
2* Authorization Code: 22.3 vs. 7.9 (factor of 2.8)

Variant of the problem: double-listed incorrect mission (=bug #2 in my other post) for 3* Alcohol: sometimes the game fails to show the best mission (=Away Team 12-chron Operation Isolate) at all, and instead lists 16-chron Operation Isolate twice, putting 18-chron Saving Smiley O'Brien at the top. The problem: These are the drop rates of the missions mentioned:
12-chron Operation Isolate: 54.5
18-chron Saving Smiley O'Brien: 99.8
16-chron Operation Isolate: 154.7

Your only chance is to remember which are the best missions after checking the wiki, as DB is obviously refusing to fix any (=99%) of their gameplay-impeding bugs.

Do Better, DB!

The second in list is indeed alcohol of 3*. I knew about the wrong listing of items and yes DB is not doing nothing. I opened few tickets with vague answers. Thx Data1001 for your suggestion.
