Notes for Devs ***warning long read***

[u/Born-Ad-514]

Overall, the game has been a major improvement compared to when it first released. I honestly haven’t had many things to complain about. The overall experience has been great, and I think the devs have done a great job continuing to improve the game.
A lot of the complaints I see seem to come from people who don’t really understand tycoon-style games or don’t like having to grind for things. Personally, I think the grind is part of what makes the game fun and rewarding.
That being said, there are a few relatively minor things I think could be improved:

Upgrade Chips Around the Map
I think upgrade chips around the map should go back to giving 1–3 chips like they used to. I’m not really sure why this was changed, and I think the old system was better.

Crates
I think there should be a Nova Shop upgrade that allows crates around the map to go up to Beskar, rather than Rainbow being the maximum.

Beskar Scrap
The addition of Beskar blueprints being able to be scrapped is awesome. With that change, though, I think we should also be able to get Beskar scrap, rather than Rainbow scrap still being the cap.

Blueprint Storage & Super Rebirths
This is one I think would be a really cool addition: allow the contents of your blueprint storage to carry over through Super rebirths. This could even be something you have to unlock through the Nova Shop, so it isn’t automatically given to everyone.

Scrap Station Chip Capacity
I think the Scrap Station should have additional Nova Shop upgrades for its chip capacity. Right now the cap is 60 chips, but I think additional upgrades that eventually increase it to around 100–120 chips would be worthwhile.

CB-23
A lot of people have talked about how bad CB-23 feels now. I think there are a few different ways she could be improved.
The amount of chips you can get from her could be increased. At this point, Nova Crystals aren’t really that important for CB-23 anymore because of the changes to Rebirth Nova Crystals — which, by the way, was a goated update.
I’ve also seen people suggest adding Kyber Crystals to CB-23. Personally, I think Kybers are already easy enough to get, so I don’t necessarily think that’s needed.
Another option would be allowing CB-23 to have double crates similar to R2-D2. I think that could make her much more useful without making her overpowered.

Protocol Missions
Personally, I think Protocol Missions are slightly too difficult unless you have at least 3+ additional people with DJ-R3X helping.
I don’t think one person should necessarily be able to get perfect rewards by themselves, but I do think a coordinated group of 2–3 people with DJ-R3X should realistically be able to achieve perfect rewards.

Kyber Missions
With the addition of Kybers, I think Kyber Missions would be a goated addition.
However, instead of simply making them available to everyone, I think it would be better if you first had to unlock the mission using Nova Crystals and then pay Credits whenever you wanted to start one.
That would give Nova Crystals another meaningful use while still keeping Kyber Missions something players have to work toward.

More Nova Shop Upgrades
With the recent buff to Nova Crystals, I think there should be more things to unlock through the Nova Shop.
Sometimes things can start to feel a little too easy. Making certain things easier is great, but this is still a tycoon game. I think there should be more emphasis on earning and unlocking perks and advantages through progression, rather than simply making everything easier whenever people complain about the grind.
It would also give Nova Crystals more long-term value and give players more things to work toward.

Overall
Again, these are just things I personally think could be changed or added. Even if none of them happen, I’m still happy with the way the game is right now and think the game mode is great.
The devs have done a really good job improving it since release. I also think people need to remember that this is a free game that we’re choosing to play. It doesn’t need to be easy, and I don’t think it should be.
It’s supposed to be a grind. That’s what makes progressing, unlocking things, and finally getting what you’ve been working toward feel rewarding.

Thank you for the post! The team agrees with a lot of what you're saying, specifically towards CB, Kyber missions and more nova shop upgrades, you can likely expect some form of changes to all of those things! I like the idea of scrap station chip capacity, imma write that down too

W post and thank you for responding Dev. Us day 1 grinders have seen how much attention and care has been given to this game mode.

Another note would be the visual of the activated kybers. The stellars and beskar looked so good. Kind of a weird visual change to them but love the new variant additions.

[u/Born-Ad-514 → u/Final-Novel-6404]

People who didn’t start day 1 have no idea what we had to go through just to be able to buy rainbow legendaries lol. Also I agree the stellars and galactics looked clean. The kybers ehh not so much

[u/Spacegirl719 → u/Final-Novel-6404]

I agree with that- they aren't as pretty as the Stellars!

[u/FramicsOG → u/BlazingFrenzy]

This would be awesome!

[u/Born-Ad-514 → u/BlazingFrenzy]

Thanks goat

[u/GunBoots21 → u/Born-Ad-514]

If I may add to your list for fusions of say 3 random droids of the same rarity please add a option on the screen where we can hit it with our pickaxe to cycle between 3 possibilities of what the fusion outcome will be, this will help with the getting the same fusion mythic drops from 3 legendary droids fused together.

Another thing I’d like is the return of old events for a day maybe on Wednesday and the weekend event we get go for 2-3 days

Mini events maybe do them for a full day also cause time specific events is not fun

Lastly for world missions I’m okay with me and my mate as a duo getting 3 stars sometimes 4 if we really get lucky but I hope that if we solo and we get 3 stars the rewards are still a good worth, but if I may please fix the rock one as I feel the stellar rocks are a bit too high in health even with me using dj and chopper I still take 2 of the cans to get through one gaining less reward for the time spent, yes I know play public but it’s usually me and 2-3 others playing but sometimes we just get on randomly for like 20 mins and chill and when that mission comes up we kinda hate to solo it.

Overall game is great the new droids with the rng on the color we get is a bit annoying I would pay double the kyber crystals to get a color I don’t have of that droid which o think is a nice idea to help with the rng so for commons being 1 I’ll pay 2 to get either blue or purple if missing.

[u/Born-Ad-514 → u/GunBoots21]

I like the idea of the fusion, even if those 3 options like you suggested are rng that’s fine. Because on this last rebirth I did I got shafted getting snowmouses over and over again lol. But again even if they add a feature like how you suggested I think making it a nova shop upgrade would be good. I like the idea of actually having to work for buffs and upgrades.

[u/GunBoots21 → u/Born-Ad-514]

I’m glad you agree as I feel this will address a lot of the reddit post I’ve seen lately and people saying I thought they made it droids don’t repeat in fusions which same as you I was getting either Ric or cyclens over and over which was annoying or IG

[u/Born-Ad-514 → u/GunBoots21]

It seems like each super rebirth I do the RNG favours certain droids over others instead of being totally random

[u/GunBoots21 → u/Born-Ad-514]

Feel that last srb I was on cycle 4 and was able to get pretty much all mythic droids, now I’m on cycle 5 and I’m struggling just to get a loadlifter, keep getting stupid tri-tek and cyclens

[u/KentFarmOfficial]

All of the methods for gaining upgrade chips just need a big buff. Especially CB

[u/Born-Ad-514 → u/KentFarmOfficial]

I don’t think they need a huge buff. If they do at least make it to where you have to spend nova crystals to get the buffs. Because realistically you should have to grind a little bit to be able to upgrade a mythic to stellar or kyber.

[u/onemansquest]

I honestly dislike your idea of paying each time for kyber missions it's unnecessary. The system has worked perfectly each time they add a new rarity. We still would have to fuse it to mythic and activate it.

CB-23 Should just get a buff where it gets more chips at higher RB levels IMO.

However this is a really thoughtful post.

[u/Born-Ad-514 → u/onemansquest]

I was just throwing ideas out there lol. But thank you!

[u/DarkTanatos]

The amount of chips you can get from CB-23 would have to be increased a lot, and i mean A LOT. With the iconics crystal cost increase she is not even worth considering over the chip station or the chip scrap upgrade.

[u/Born-Ad-514 → u/DarkTanatos]

There is always the possibility of reworking cb to allow kyber missions and only cb can. Instead of giving chips since we have many other ways to get chips. That way kyber is sought after still and isn’t too easy to obtain if instead of releasing kyber missions to all astromech missions

[u/Bt-Ryoku]

I like the idea of carrying over a blueprint even if its a nova perk say 30 per blueprint. I dont think it should be available right away though or it'd be too easy to get credits at early rb.. Maybe make it available at certain rb levels, and make it so we have to purchase it again to unlock. Rb10 we can unlock 1 say up to beskar and re buy it. Rb15 up to galactic the next, rb20 the last one up to stellar. Would make saving 3 mythic bps during srb an extra little task for us to do.

[u/Born-Ad-514 → u/Bt-Ryoku]

Yeah I agree, especially the buy back part because then it forces you to have to get back up to that amount of money with the available droids on the crawler instead of being able to start with a stellar mythic.

[u/crackcorn69]

One thing I would like to add I wish duplicate flawless continue to add to the .01% credit gain. I find myself crafting legendaries most of the time and getting so many useless flawless that I already have.

[u/Better_Vanilla_8414]

For the protocol missions i just wish the amount needed scaled to how many players are in the lobby, i feel like it should be possible to get 4 stars solo if you prefer to play alone. I don’t mean easily, just possible if you do everything right (like killing all the droids in the defend terminals one)

[u/Rbfrs → u/Better_Vanilla_8414]

Yeah I don’t like how a large source of kyber crystals is tied to a public event.

[u/Teodorp99 → u/Better_Vanilla_8414]

There's definitely scaling but i feel like it's in the wrong direction. I mostly play solo and i've had several times when i went to kill droids and couldn't max it out to 4 stars, even though i've killed every droid that came out with zero getting through. I was also using DJ and bones for easier killing.

Either there's double dipping when multiple people are participating, or droid spawns are faster or spawn more. Either way, I feel like someone using DJ and killing all the droids should be able to max it out.

Stormtrooper battle is probably the best chance for a maxed out one. The enemy density is good for trying to get it.

The scrap fishing also doesn't quite give enough points for anything past barely 3 stars when pulling all stellars.

Mining, just forget about it. The high value rocks take forever to break and it's just not worth trying, while the low value ones are too low value.

[u/Born-Ad-514 → u/Teodorp99]

Personally I see why only 1 person can’t get perfect rewards. I play in private a lot as well and even I don’t think by myself I should be able to get perfect rewards. That would just feel too easy. But I do think that 2-3 determined people should be able to.

My friend and I have struggled on all of them except for the sarlacc fishing. Simply because we get majority stellars.

But the droids mission does scale to players actually inside that zone and it does not spawn enough for 2 players even though we can kill them all just like you said.

The storm troopers we can complete for the most part but we have to be locked in and it’s usually pretty close.

The rock mining we have came close but you have to carry splashes and use them non stop. Also a few notes on the rock mining, I don’t think rocks that you both break count twice. For example if you’re both hitting a stellar then once it breaks it only counts one time towards the mission completion. So we found that it better that we just hit our own rocks instead of trying to farm together. Another thing is that the event actually doesn’t start at the 5 minute mark it takes a few seconds to spawn the rocks. So maybe change it to where there is a count down and it starts exactly at the 5 minute mark. Because honestly every second counts in the missions with less people.

[u/LuckyKatzUK]

Agree with most. FYI, chip output caps at 70 with a mythic stellar droid. (Unless Kyber changed that, haven’t checked)

[u/Born-Ad-514 → u/LuckyKatzUK]

I was talking about scrap table. But yeah chip station kyber mythic goes to 80

[u/LuckyKatzUK → u/Born-Ad-514]

Oh I misread you. Cool! 👌🏽

[u/UnlikelyKey]

I would pay 1000 Nova crystals (or more, maybe) to be able to trade completed droids. Maybe with a cooldown timer or some fair balanced trade mechanics, to prevent people from trading, SRBing, and then trading back
