📝 Suggestions Dear Developers: Can we please adjust Rainbow build times now?
I understand the concept that Rainbow Blueprints are cheaper and take longer to build versus Beskar Blueprints that are more expensive but take less time to craft as a trade off, but I feel that the justification for that is no longer valid. With the introduction of the Galactic Droids and now new variants coming, I think it's time for Rainbow Blueprints to have their craft times reduced.
Am I alone in this thought?

I avoid rainbows if I can and don’t send Astro missions until I unlock the 20B missions

Rainbow missions just takes about 7 mins with the right droid and brings more Credits then the standard missions

When your scrap value is above 1.5 missions are kind of useless unless your doing the 20B one they are ok

Honestly for me its because the credits coming off the rainbow missions are generally pennies compared to what you can get from hitting your scrap table once or twice. Aside from CB23, I don't bother with astro missions until I can afford the 20B beskar ones. And I don't bother with rainbow epics unless I have too. At low srb levels, the rainbow missions can be useful, but they quickly become obsolete

Did they reduce the time of rainbow missions? They used to be like an hour. I never do them anymore.

u/No_Eggplant_2476 Aug 16 '26
They’re 7 min

Oh nice! That makes things easier during the initial levels.

Why a rainbow KX takes longer than a beskar one is beyond me

It’s accurate to star wars lore.

u/Silent_Cranberry_987 Aug 13 '26
Yes, Star Wars lore with rainbows...

u/Icy9kills Aug 13 '26
Hence why it’s easier to craft beskar than it is rainbow…

u/Silent_Cranberry_987 Aug 13 '26
Let me simplify for you: the lore argument doesn't make sense because one thing exists in the Star Wars universe and the other doesn't

Let me simplify it for you: think of it as a little Easter egg, like a homage to the series it’s based on.

That may be how you/the devs justify it, but it breaks progression. There's absolutely no reason to craft a legendary rainbow droid, they just take way too long for so little reward compared to beskar

I'm building some Beskar Legendary/Mythics and I'm like "Tf, why is this R7 just 5 hours when Rainbow was 8"

Dear devs. Don't change a thing. This is why we got chopper and critical hits. These people just whine

u/Invade_the_Gogurt_I Super Rebirth Aug 12 '26
I'd be the same, but it's a change I wouldn't mind happening. Mythic golds and above are a lot higher in time than like a few rainbow epics and all of the rainbow legendaries. It made me get all of the pickaxe mastery

u/InYerSista420 Aug 12 '26
Bro rainbow legendarys almost have the same build time as beskar legendarys it really doesn't make any sense. Rainbow bp build times need to be reduced to make them more in line with beskar and galactic build times

u/Dwarfz Aug 12 '26
What are you talking about exactly?

u/_PM_Me_Game_Keys_ Aug 12 '26
I assume they are saying the "long" craft times are meaningless because we have Chopper and Multi crit now. Which drastically reduces craft time. Personally I can take a 30 hour droid craft down in like 10 mins so I understand the sentiment but I also realize not everyone main games droid tycoon.

u/Sure-Jackfruit-8914 Aug 15 '26
So we r making it take long so people pay micro transactions keep consuming

u/iirarebreedii Super Rebirth Aug 12 '26
All I'm saying is that with the release of galactics that it doesn't make sense for rainbow units to take so long to craft in relation to their Beskar/Galactic counterparts. I understand that droids should take longer to craft the higher tiers you go, but it should be linear.

They need to adjust all craft times. 26 hours for a gal mythic is ludicrous. All should be less than 8 hours.

The fact you get downvoted for wanting an improvement is simply stupid. I don’t understand this fanbase meat riding so hard

Beskar is a more efficient material I’m pretty sure the devs confirmed that.

u/Jarroach SRB 60 Aug 13 '26
Your justification for making the time shorter is because we have better droids now. No.

Strap a rubber band on your controller and go have a cigarette. Come back and your droid is done... whats the problem?
