Problem with Industrial Container UMC-3

[2922935]

Earlier today i sent in a ticket and was told to post it here instead. the following is what I sent in.

 

"In the past few days. I have opened four Industrial Container UMC-3. To my dismay, I have received only monocrystals from all four containers. The statistical probability of that, is near impossible. something must be wrong with these containers or I have the absolute worst luck on the planet. Normally, I wouldn’t mind this issue too much if I had not used galactic standards to buy the larger quantities of Iridium during loot search.

I would like to see this issue investigated and compensation if there is an issue found.

Thank you for your time,
Graybierd"

I don’t know the specific time and dates for when I opened each container. but they were in the past few days.

To further test this issue. i opened another four of these boxes today and all four gave monocrystals. This now makes it eight boxes in a row that gave monocrystals instead of any ship construction components.

There is defiantly something wrong with the box! I have attached the log file for these boxes and screenshots of the opened boxes below.

To further test this issue again. I have opened another four boxes today and all four gave monocrystals. This now makes it sixteen boxes in a row that have given monocrystals instead ship construction components.

There is defiantly something wrong with the box! I have attached the log file for these boxes and a screenshot of the opened boxes below. I managed to get all four in one screenshot this time.

Not a bug, just unluck only. Chanсe for other drop is very-very-very rare.

I find this very unlikely. the first several boxes that I had ever opened just before these had ship construction parts in them. If by your logic. it would have been impossible to get at-least three parts in a row if they were “very-very-very rare”.

 

Edit -  I just noticed that these were removed in yesterdays update. I find that quite funny and very telling! I would argue that these did have an issue.

This is unfortunately not a bug…but how they do drops. I know, the labeling is deceiving. I feel the same.
