extremely low drop rates of beryllium in Open Space

#1

I have to raise a concern here.

 

In 5 days of all grinding in Open Space, I have observed the following. Enriched beryllium and beryllium ore nugget is extremely hard to come by.

I got only 1 Enriched beryllium from Mysterious container so far. I think that the chance to get it might only be 1%, if not even less. I would like to know real stats, though.

Drop rate is not just ridiculous beyond belief. It’s totally not needed. It will not keep players at bay, but they will simply go elsewhere. Developers don’t want to learn nor listen, or rather, those responsible don’t.

 

If you will keep up with this, fine, but I have a suggestion for people who don’t want to be held back by this mechanic, so hear me out.

One way is to present them with an opportunity, so that at least they can get something for their work for free, unless if they wish to buy. Point is, that you have a choice. If you don’t want that, you can buy a pack.

 

 

Suggestion: (solution) - sorry, forgot to edit the title a bit

original title should be: “extremely low drop rates of beryllium in Open Space and a solution”

 

Keep the Broker’s missions, which will automatically give you the chance to obtain Enriched beryllium rods.

The other option is that, if Broker missions are only temporary and not permanent daily missions, that you get another contact, which can give you such resources on a daily basis.

 

 

Here is an example: (Premium license does not apply here)

 

Daily reward:

 

New contact:

Mission objective variant 1:

Successfully complete 1 daily PvP and PvE mission. (excluding Special Ops)

Reward: 1 Enriched beryllium rod (guaranteed daily reward)

or:

Mission objective variant 2:

Successfully complete all 3 daily monocrystal missions for each faction in Open Space. (excluding Special Ops)

Reward: 1 Enriched beryllium rod (guaranteed daily reward)

or:

Mission objective variant 3:

Successfully complete 1 daily PvP and PvE mission and all 3 daily monocrystal missions in Open Space for each faction. (excluding Special Ops)

Reward: 1 Enriched beryllium rod (guaranteed daily reward)

 

Optional:

 

Daily reward:

 

Mission objective: (Special Ops)

Successfully complete T3/T4/T5 Destroyer mission or T4/T5 Defiler mission. (depends what is on schedule for such day, Sunday includes both options and thus both rewards)

Reward: 2 daily neodium plates for Destroyer mission (guaranteed daily reward, if on the schedule) Such reward can only be given once per day.

Optional 1: You only get 2 daily neodium plates only, if you preserved all all 8 Water Harvest’s outposts. Failure to do so, does not complete the objective.

                  1 Enriched beryllium rod for Defiler mission (guaranteed daily reward, based on the schedule for mission completion) Such reward can only be given once per day.

 

 

Optional 2:

 

Contract system:

High-ranked contracts, which require rank 13 ships to complete, could also yield some resources as well. I am talking about neodium and beryllium.

Lower-ranked contracts can yield different amounts or types of resources as well with already given loyalty vouchers. This was already suggested in one of my previous suggestion thread.

 

 

Please, discuss and do not forget to vote. If you have voted, please explain your reasons behind it.

I doubt I’ll be building a T4 Destroyer. I’m sticking with the broker missions primarily because I’d like a SAW before I die of old age.

#3

My only 2 berrylium came from cargo ships like wth

#4

The droprate should be higher, this is just ridiculous. As far as i see the new destros are pay to fly, they invented a new game mode, pay to fly, since without skill u cant win always even with that excessive amount of power.

#5

I’ve gotten only one beryllium ORE and it was from a cargo ship. Not a single drop from over 90 mysterious containers or about 200 “Valuable Minerals”

#6

Seems like the harder u try the harder u fail, also is there any correlation with the premium being helpful in finding these ores?

#7

Premium licences do not affect OS to my knowledge. Though premium status ships are much more useful due to having a free duplicator and +2 cargo slots.

#8

Also, consider this suggestion.

#9

Dunno, gathering materials for my third T4…

#10

Bundles are not that hard to find.

#11

It is just a sneaky way to earn some money for the devs. Who am I kidding, it is not even sneaky.They give people a payed for advantage. Let people who pay for it have it 2 weeks earlier so they can dominate the battlefield without doing much. Seeing the amount of T4 destroyer in game, the devs already made quit a lot of money. Berylium drop rates will never increase before end of the brokers mission at wich point the advantage is less obvious.

#12

Bundles are not that hard to find.

I will not deny that I purchased some. Exactly 10 -  2700 GS. They gave me 11 beryllium and I think 3 or 4 enriched ones, so rest was found in open space.

Well, they must have changed the drop rate. I found a total of 2 enriched beryllium from 200 mysterious containers. Drop chance is 1% then!

Yeah, and I know all the spots and I visited all relevant sectors.

Okay, where did u find the rest of the parts then?

#15

In open space. Well, I cannot give you exact position or method, just to say that some methods are much more effective than the others :slight_smile: Another 3 enriched beryllium today plus few neodium plates :stuck_out_tongue: And I am not farming that much now, I wanted Antares and Sibyl, so I was farming for 8-9 hours a day.

#16

i am with you

I dont know why i expected some helpful advice but than again, sharing is caring.

#18

How about make scheduled beryllium transports once every 3 hrs going from 1 station to another. Heavily guarded by 20 federation police and reinforcements are replenished every 10 minutes. holds 16 beryllium. Has to be attacked by a wing and rival wings will fight over it. Huge open space battle. Awesome, yes?

That totally prove your point about how easy is to get resources…

#20

Lol where do ya’ll hunt for resources? took me 2 days to find the last 14 Beryllium i needed to build my antares, the drop rate is not too low i’m glad for it right now, keeps the absolute spam of rank 11 destroyers out of pvp up to today. Found 3 Beryllium ore and a enriched one within 30 minutes in the system i hunted in, just keep searching different systems and stop complaining and trying to make the game too easy to spam destroyers, lol first people complain about destroyer spam now they want them to be easier to obtain, where is the logic in that??? And as i said before to some, not all sectors that have beryllium spawns are listed on the page doombot suggested, just a hint to ya’ll in finding the best spots :006j:
