Somehow this didn’t get included in the patch notes (I wonder why!), so it’s worth noting here:
Open Space missions now give ONE Monocrystal, not two.
It is safe to assume the drop rate of Monos from other modes will not make up for this shortfall.
Report it as bug please as it is currently a bug.
I was wondering why my monocrystal drop-rate went from 3 to 2 (currently have premium - what a mistake that turned out to be)
Doesn’t seem like a bug to me, seems like they just left it out of the patch notes because they think that will reduce rather than increase the backlash they will get because they think people wont notice.
Im expecting “Oh but now you can earn monocrystals/neodium/beryllium when you PvP so it’s fine right?!” excuse - no, it’s not fine. Get your act together.
I’m gonna to report all that is not mentioned as bug. They can try to either fix it or explain it.
Other thinking is just accepting the kick in the arse and to fawn grindwallers.
I hope to see your bug report soon.
And the response:
“Not a bug, working as intended”

My army is assembling! For the Empire! Or was it for Federation instead?!

Then I’m going to report you for false reporting.
