I'm in New Zealand, and it's 11am 5th August here when the update has dropped. Now the chase is on, but we've missed out on almost half a day of the chase here.
I worked out, assuming the 2% per energy drop rate that I get just enough RC shards over 5 days to get to 7 stars, if I do the 3 50 crystal energy refreshes. But I don't get it for 5 days. Only 4 1/2 it seems.
So 7* RC cost more depending on your time zone. Thanks CG.

It's six whole days, so you're on five and a half, not four and a half.
We've just been doing the maths, and at 2% per energy and three refreshes a day, plus free energy you should get ~12 per day, or 72 by the end of the event.
Is it on right now for everyone? I still think I've missed 11 hours by them putting this start day on the same day as the update.
There you go. Yes less time for anyone ahead of gmt.
But it being six days means it should be fine. I still think it is poor communication to an international community.
And not for the first time…
Sadly, we're second class citizens down here.
The bigger problem is that they have not adjusted the exchange rate and we pay about 20% more in USD for crystals than those in the US.
Given they are not shipping them, 20% premium is ridiculous
Googleplay point is not available in my country, i have more to lose out…
Oh well, Americans have more advantage…
I think this is a legitimate complaint and feedback, and hope in the future we have at least 24 hour notice about Galactic Chases to accommodate all timezones
Resource management is what this game is about. So having advanced warning to plan accordingly is all that we are asking for.

If one of you could address how this isn't something you have considered for your player base on the other side of the world it would be appreciated.
Who fixes the exchange rate? Google wouldn't. They would let it float as it can be updated real time
CG/EA sets the price in dollars. Apple and Google set the international prices.
I've got some real nice ocean front property in lovely Arizona that I'm willing to part with.
Google and Apple don’t let it float though. They only review and update periodically. You can read through the Apple Developer news and updates and see different tax and price change posts, like this one from August 3rd.

We were told that, they may try to avoid Galactic in future naming conventions.
The RC path has been laid out here:

Any information about future plans will come in later posts.
That is better than I did. 3 blueprints on 38 attempts and less of the gear I was looking for than usual. I hope that it does average out to the 2% figure stated above rather than the less than 1% I am getting.
Yeah I was mostly busting chops from a past discussion we had
I wasn't either in the US because it was "spend energy" guild activity day so I already did mine.
I assume because they are backing up:
If drop rates are different then the timing will be affected too...
How about a thread where TVF doesn't try and police others conversation?
