with exclusive ships like kylo vader tie reapers millelium falcon do we really need horrible droprates for boba and maul's ships? but is it on purpose or just another bug that fall into the cracks of the game's programmers? can you fix this or give an explanation why rotation rate are lower then 5% on average? we all have biggs /Jc/ FOTP maxed please stop annoying your customers! thank you

    I don't know, I got lots of Scimitar and Slave shards. Was able to get them to 5* very quickly, actually (I think in a month? Maybe less)

    Anything concerning poor drop rates in this game is very, very intentional. They want to frustrate you into spending.

    They are rarer than the basic ships since they are better than the basic ships. Makes sense to me. They are not really that uncommon though...couple months and have Boba's almost 6*, Maul's almost 5*, Bistan's 5*...pretty much where the rest of my ships are as well actually.

    Won't you spend regardless of low appearance rates?

    Personally, I've seen maul's ship show up, maybe 4 times since it was introduced.

    Yes, better ships/toons have lower rates in the rotation of the particular shops.

    That's the idea.

    Every shard/blueprint spot in fleet has one or more common characters/ships and one or more rare characters/ships. Boba and Maul both have a rare ship that shares the same spot with a couple of commons, they're tough to farm, no doubt.

    Personally I think they should arrange the characters and blueprints by faction. Put all ships and pilots in there, just make the hard to get ones rarer to show. Maybe combine some of the smaller factions and give two slots to bigger ones. Have non pilots that are in fleet either share a spot or share one with their faction.

    For Example:
    Make Finn, Poe, Rey, and Resistance pilot all appear there. Poe's ship, Millenium Falcon, and Resistance X-Wing should all share a spot and rotate too.

    Wedge, Biggs, Pathfinder, Ackbar, and Bistan should share a spot.

    Zam can appear in the same spot as boba. His Ship could rotate with empire ships.

    Grievous is a separatist, he can rotate with the Geonosians.

    etc.

    They also should hand out Jedi luke when he comes out everyone will want him. You might as well just hand him out 7*.
