Sim Tickets are super tedious and in my opinion a terrible mechanic. With that said, I don't think they will ever remove them, but at least give us some more. It becomes overly frustrating to run low on sim tickets and spending crystals on sim tickets is something I will not do.
But it really takes a lot of enjoyment out of the game, when I have to take more time out of my life (in an already extremely time consuming game) to auto battles. I mean at least add 10 or so more in challenges, the current situation is a bit ridiculous

Why would you ever buy them?
Spend those crystals on refreshes and auto challenges.
Just seems like a waste.
Chromium packs are just too random, whereas with tickets/energy you can much better direct what you get for your spending. It's still random, but not nearly as random as any pack you could buy.
Look, sim tickets are there to make the game more playable at higher levels, so you DON'T spend as much time on all the work needed - kind of like the auto setting in, well, ANY battles. If you don't like them, ignore them, but they're really just a 'quality of life' addition.
Regardless, they're a way better way to spend your crystals than packs.
One or the other. The game is a a major grind and takes up more time than a mobile game should (i still enjoy it), but the least they could do is make it so simming doesn't contribute to this problem.
I am so not getting what you're saying. How does simming battles take up MORE time??
No autoing takes more time. Which is what I have to do when I run out of sim tickets. Which happens way more often than it should
1. Don't sim challenges, auto them
2. Don't sim ship challenges, auto them
3. Don't sim hard nodes stage 1-6/7, auto them
4. Don't sim easy nodes for 6 energy, auto them
In the meantime you can do something else, for example eat something, go to toilet etc
OKAY. Yes, auto takes more time than simming, I get you now.
But I'm free to play and I NEVER run out of sim tickets. It's all in how you use your resources.
Granted, I'm F2P and very patient so I'm playing a long game, and possibly handling things very differently than you are, so there's that for sure. That said, if you do your dailies and spend some crystals and so forth you're still going to get at least 50 tickets a day, roughly. 35 minimum if you JUST do dailies, I think.
So that's not terrible.
Speaking for myself, I still usually end a day with more than I started with, unless I'm blowing them gearing up someone I just unlocked. I'm not trying to bag on you, because like I said, totally different players with different goals, but generally I don't have a problem with it.
Lol.
Sometimes you just have to auto or drop a bit of crystals towards them.
Hopefully they will add them.
Strange, I do exactly the same... except I've never had to buy extra, the refreshes covers it. And I've ended up with a surplus of around 2500. If anything I want more things to do with them.
I didn't intentionally try to save sim tickets, but I'm now grinding higher energy stuff (lv 3 mod challenges again, and some higher cantina nodes). I think there is a crunch but it depends on what you're grinding (I very rarely sim normal energy matches, only Cantina)
But no sim tickets are there to make your life easier so they are more than worthy of being a purchase.
You don't have the right to sim a battle just because you've 3 starred it before but you do have the ability to via the "grace" of the devs lol makes your life easier for the price of 30 crystals lol
This.
I generally sim 6 or 10 energy nodes, never 8 unless I have to. 6 for those power/flashlights/detonators which come in multiples of 5 and 10 for everything else.
The 10 energy nodes gets you ship currency and more $$ so I think is worth the 2 extra energy. These will bank you sim tickets for each refresh. A few days of farming a X XI will get you a good stock pile.
After that even with binges of 6 energy farming I never run out.
Problem solved.
If you just follow the first two suggestions, it should help you tremendously. Follow three and four while eating breakfast. If you constantly sim battles that are less than 10 energy along with the challenges, you will start to have issues.
Please don't say this or sim tickets will be used to refresh characters in the next tournament!
Great idea
