Drop rate of shards
In the past 3 days I have simmed at least 10 battles in cantina and have received only 2 shards. Simmed 10 battles in ships after spending Crystal's to refresh and received 2 shards. Has the drop rate been nerfed? Anyone else having this problem

And also a 9% chance of 1 shard and 2% chance of 0 shards. So over 30% chance of 2 or fewer shards.
Since OP actually reported 4/20, it is about a 15% chance to get 4 or fewer shards in 20 sims. Unlucky, but common enough that it'll happen about once per week.

7 at a time? Noob.
Everyone knows it’s 3, then 2, Then fight an arena battle (unless your rank is a Mersenne prime), then 1, then 4, then pull a bronzium, then 5, then manually fight a challenge...
Data please.
the answer is that players have tracked data, collected it, and analyzed it and determined the drop rates for all shards.
So where is your data?
Show your data.
All drop rate conspiracy posts meet the same criteria. Vague, unsubstantiated data or precise but minutely small data.
Because they are. You just notice the bad days more because that's how human brains are wired.
I said it in two!
And only needed the second word because I'm very polite.
Is it a complete sentence even with both?
I've got your Data!!!!
6 Months of Data, nearly 20K sims.
Its not exciting, I just really like sharing.
Shard counting is one of the most painful aspects of the game and the less you focus on it the better.
But yeah, shard drops are the worst.
Ebon Hawk drop rates nerfed - confirmed!
Control this is Delphar Seven, my mission is in jeopardy. Destroy the planet! Repeat, destroy the planet!
I also add in a friend's data when I have access to it.
Bigger Sample Size & all.
DOH, thanks for catching that, that is the Y-WING, probably started to type the BTL & then just cut it off.
It’s because of confirmation bias. One, you notice more when bad RNG happens. Two, high energy modes mean less shards per day because of high energy. If you’re farming something that costs 10 per sim compared to 20 per sim, you’re going to net (about) double the shards for the 10 energy node. 1 refresh a 120 energy would bean 12 sims, compared to 6 sims. Unless you’re specifically simming each node the same amount of times per day, that’s why it seems like you get more. I felt like farming KRU was lightning fast compared to farming Brood Alpha for the same reason.
Well thats for cantina only,for other nodes you only have 5 per day,i dont refresh the nodes.
For the other replies i got,should i care about other ppl drop rates?Will if you care if everyone around you win the lottery but you dont?I want a system that all win the lottery.In other games i play you are guaranteed 1/5 shards,but 0 is utter trash,i could live with that change.
Also who runs the metaverse,for all i know its like metacritic where Companies pay for to have good reviews.All claiming data you claim to have isnt less valid than my own in my eyes.You think you would care for my data even if i kept them for 1,5 year almost i am playing?You woudnt give a rats ****,so stop giving that excuse,couse you only harm ppls concerns and CG is laughing at all of us.
Go and read this and tell me if its not happening,the tech and knowledge is out allready since who knows when,since you like data,maybe some facts could help of whats possible.
