Well I spend about 1600 Energie for about 40 shards. Is the drop Chance lower then the last time or did I just have bad luck?
I had to spend about 12800 Energie for 7 Stars, which means about 15 Energie packs per Day... that's not even possible :-O

Light side nodes 10/6-10/12, not sure where you are but they’re not available in the US yet.
If you have an LS GL Tix running you get more shards (working as intended confirmed when it was brought up last time).
Search forums for other threads on previous chases.
I remember them denying it was happening.
I could be wrong, and I can't find where they said WAI.
It's definitely weird that you somehow get a bonus for working on a specific unrelated task.
scroll down first page - you'll see a message from Meathead
It says that the team did not find what makes it increase the drop rate.
I understood it as "this increased drop rate is not happening".
Maybe worth doing into the 100s refreshes but that's all
I am convinced that the way the code handles GL tickets is seen as another battle to independently roll for the chase.
It would perfectly explain people reporting 6+% drop rates the entire duration of the chase. Same thing happened with the Rex and Kielbasa bonus drops.
Actual data puts it inline with recent chases (so far)
I got worse than previous galactic chase for me.
True RNG is absolute chaotic and annoying.
I just finished my Rey farm. In hindsight I should have left it open so I could farm more ship shards.
Personally, I'd settle for them fixing it.
Since the bug is not directly hurting us who don’t benefit from it I don’t see a claim for compensation. But on the other side it will be opening a can of worms if they will retroactively reduce shards from players benefitting from the bug.
Last time they had to handle a similar kind of bug was when some players got Malak(?) for free. CG then handled that in a way that felt very unfair to most players at the time. I guess it’s easier just to ignore it now.
You realize if they 'fix' it (they've already looked into it and said that there isn't a problem) you would never have the opportunity to take advantage of it either, right? Why do you care? If someone happens to be on a GL ticket grind, let it be. The GL ticket grind is one of the worst aspects of this game. So what if something comes along that makes it a little more bearable?
It is about being fair and what it does imply, as you said yourself, they investigated and nothing was out of ordinary, does it mean it was intended to give more bonus shard to people farming tickets without any explanation ? If so they might hiding other stuff ... proving that EA/CG is a shady company.
Finally, I could ask you the same question, Why do you care about me complaining ? yeah this is internet....
This is a clear advantage for a subset of players. While the GL hunters may be all set with a 7 star Marauder, I will still have to farm about 100 shards which is about 2 months and a lot of in-game energy. Energy that THEY can allocate elsewhere. Not to mention that it likely won’t be farmable for a while…
