Monocrystal loot drops

20305199 · February 3, 2017, 11:29am

Since the last patch i notice the Devs. make a big change for the loots .

i’ve played yesterday above 30 games ( pvp , pve ) , no monocrystal and using my Archelon .

there’s no way to gain Monocrystal with loot now …? i’m asking this , atm with the new group system it seems we can gain it only by bunle task an OS missions

usualy , with my Archelon or other ships like as Phoenix on other tiers , each 3 or 5 game i get above one two monocrystal on loot

They are still there but apparently slightly rarer. Wether this was on purpose or not is up in the air, as it wasn’t in patchnotes.

O.k. – logic is : olde ships (dessies, special project ships, etc that are more dependent on monocrystals are out of plan → path is new Ellydium ship line now…

Even Destroyers are not in favour of devs any more… Cinamon Fake said they nor come back for a while… ( Now SC offers rank 8 and rank 11 destroyer ship parts … useless )

we steel need monocrytral to craft weapon and module for new Ellydium tree ship .

many bluprint need also monocrytral .

soon devs. want adding trade system , it’ll be fun to see all blueprints for garguoyle and dart and players can’t craft them any more or take months to get 40 or 50 monos for each blueprint .

I’m getting less monocrystals from last patch and I’m not happy with that. But the true is everybody can get 150 monos/month without licence in OS or 300 with licence. Maybe it will only cost your life, but it is only a problem if you value your life ![](<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/cool.png “”)

We can get even more monos with SCL and some containers bought with iridium give parts of ships, lowering the amount of mono needed.

I think devs were using monos to drive more people into playing PVP/PVE, but they got another way for that: missions for xenocrystals.

I don’t think a single player get a ship part in drop since this bundle is available ^^’

I am sorry to say this, but i think i have got 2 ship parts. The first time i tried i am for sure i got a ship part, because another player from my corp got 3 monos instead of ship parts (We both tried at the same time). After that it took some tries, but i quite sure i have got another one.

each OS daily mono task give one mono per faction , one month without licence get 30x3=90 mono and 180 with licence .

the fact since Devs. change rewards for OS missions and players complain about it , they change the drop for pvp/pve/AI mode

no need to farm only the open space with boring missions .) , no all players base having the perect ship for Open space missions

Now since the last patchs 1.4 , its like a step on old case in wich players need to farm again and all news modules weapon / modules need monos.

as a veteran player i can keep my weekly monos gain but atm sc losing players and making monos drops more rarely its not a way for newcomers to still on the game .

We are both wrong. There are 4 factions.

So it is 4 factions x 1 mono without licence x 30 days = 120 monos each month. We get 240 with licence.

That’s the bad thing for posting at 7:00 on Sunday.I wasn’t completly awake.

We are getting loot from losing the match (PVP/PVE). I want to watch if in the long run this can compensate the decrease of monos in loot.
