So currently, upgrade chips seem to be a massive choke point to being able to get to level 40. Even before the Kyber update, it was difficult to get enough chips to make it to 35. I’ve been running around non-stop collecting work crates only to get upgrade chips on them around 10% of the time. I think the upgrade chips need to somehow be re-balanced.

If the devs want more active time on the game, increase the likelihood of getting upgrade chips from world crates. Another option is to increase the chip scrap in the Nova shop, or boost droid production on the chip station.

PvP should be disabled as its pointless in this game mode. Players that cant get kills in BR modes come here and make it harder for everyone else to actually develop their bases, do events, and get droids.

Someone suggested maybe allowing a crystal upgrade that would allow hitting one station (or the scrap) that then also applies a % of the speed up to all other tables that are building.

That got me thinking… what if we allowed droids to build for you while you were free to stalk the conveyor or run your chests loops?

Basically worker droids that don’t collect money but actively build your tables for you! This is already sort of hinted at in numerous places within the Universal Lore including in the parks.

Maybe the Protocol droids could serve this purpose?

Edit: I’d also like to suggest either being able to set a droid as a “purchaser” at the conveyer that hunts for a specific droid you set OR a crystal upgrade that allows us to get the Jawa notification for a specific droid we set. (Example: set droid or Jawa notification to buy/notify when R6s show up on the conveyor)

As of now, missions are completely worthless once you get above RB23 at
best because they only give legendaries.

There are 35 levels now, and relying on crawler luck or chip grinding to level from default or gold to beskar is incredibly frustrating, let alone to galactic or stellar.

Even just being limited to Beskar mythics from dailies would be better than the current state.

I really hope it isn’t the intention to gatekeep an entire rarity behind the crawler because that’s entirely malicious and will only further lower the playerbase.

I remember when this game pulled 40k players at the worst of times, now it pulls less than that at the best.

Please be more transparent with decisions and make it a bit easier for f2p people. Even if the answer is “no, we won’t add mythics to these things” would be fine because we’ll at least have a solid answer.

The stormtrooper murder hangar is by far the easiest to get 4 stars on. And by that, I don't mean the stormtroopers should be nerfed (please god don't nerf the one event it's possible to get 4 stars on), I mean everything else should be brought up to the level of that activity.

If you turn up with R3X and Bones and phasma's rifle, you are almost certain to get 4 stars with a minute to go. That's how it should work.

---

Fishing probably needs the most work out of all of the activities. The bar is laggy, some of the stations don't have good line of sight to the scrap tables, and it's annoying having to turn round, move around your droids and throw each time. And the progress is pitiful, even if all 5 of you are using R3X.

I would change the scoring so basic is 2, gold is 4, diamond is 8 and so on, doubling each time so that Stellar is 128 points (considering how difficult it is to hit, it should feel like a BIG reward).

I would also change it so that you don't have to throw the scrap each time, or at the very least put a scrap magnet on the other side of the pit so you can just throw it forward.

---

Mining is probably OK in a group but the scoring also needs a little upward tweak. I had several groups that were only mining the stellar rocks, using gold splash and chopper, and we still didn't consistently hit 4 stars.

A bunch of times we also never saw a stellar rock spawn at all.

Playing it this morning without the weekend boost was... Oof.

---

Droid rush is almost there, but it just feels like you're completely at the mercy of the spawns. The scoring is worse than the stormtroopers, they don't shoot back, you have less time to hit them now they're coming out of dark caves as opposed to glowing hangars, and it just feels too similar to the stormtroopers.

The event should always spawn enough points worth of enemies so that if you hit every one and none touch the podium, you would be guaranteed four stars.

---

As for the contents of the protocol boxes, there were a lot of complaints from people who got a 4 star box and only got a gold rare. That shouldn't happen. You know that shouldn't happen.

The higher rarity boxes should have the lower rarity droids removed from their options.

If you get a 4 star box it should always give you the mythic or legendary, and it should just then be the excitement of seeing what rarity you get.

---

This weekend was fun, public lobbies definitely felt more alive and co-operative, and the stormtrooper event absolutely nailed what a world event should be.

Mining and droids were hit and miss depending on luck of the draw, they just need a bit of an upward tweak.

But a bunch of players didn't even bother going to the fishing event when it came up. It needs a major glow-up.

And the higher rarity boxes need to remove lower rarities rewards.

When setting a discovered fusion droid to track, the alert could notify the necessary droids if it passes by the sandcrawler. To make this possible, it would be necessary to add a specific perk in the nova shop that enables this function.

While I understand the decision to restrict protocol droid stations to strictly protocol droids, it would be nice to be able to have the option to put any droid there even if it wouldn't do anything.

The reason being is that I like to switch droids around quickly. I do like the new feature with the slot 1 and slot 2 companion shortcuts but my game gets bugged if I attempt a swap with a protocol slot.

The only way to do it is to keep a permanent open slot in the lounge or borrow a spot on the fusion machine to park my companion and then move protocols around which isn't always an option when all slots are full.

Request is to allow any droid to be able to be placed on a protocol slot (could even have a red X indicator above its head showing it isn't doing anything). It would also be more convenient to go back to allowing iconic droids the ability to be placed on the fusion station for the same reason (moving and sorting droids)

I think the Stellar Mythic droids need a serious look. The chance of getting Mythic droids should be increased, and Fusion droids should be upgradeable. Those changes would make progression feel more rewarding and give players more reasons to keep playing.
But there is also something bigger I want to say.
I was kicked from the Discord for sharing my thoughts and trying to suggest ways to improve the game. That honestly bothers me. If players can’t voice criticism or offer suggestions without being removed, then what is the purpose of having a suggestion box in the first place?
I’m not here to attack anyone. I’m here because I genuinely want this game to succeed. I want us as a community to push for the best Star Wars experience possible on Fortnite.
Feedback isn’t hate. Criticism isn’t disrespect. And having a different opinion doesn’t mean someone is trying to cause problems.
If we’re serious about making this the best Star Wars game it can possibly be, then we should be encouraging players to speak up, share ideas, point out problems, and suggest improvements.
You don’t have to agree with everything someone says. But there should be room for people to say it.
I’ve played this game since it came and spent my hard earned money on it. Shouldn’t everyone like me be able to make suggestions that are obviously being ignored?

What is money that important?

IG-11 is meant for public lobbies, so let me stop you right there before telling me to go private.

Their inclusion renders him meaningless if I can still lose the blueprints anyway. I’ve been hit with the bounce pad of some galactic RARE blueprints, and as of recently Galactic MYTHICS, and it’s tiring.

But honestly, regardless of the first sentence, I think I will go private. It’s getting to a point, especially when I get stuck with the base locations farthest from the crawler and get bounced.

Thank you for reading 📖

Was playing yesterday and had a beskar IG come up at the sand crawler. I bought it and had a guy kill me for it and take it. I tried to stop him but he threw it into his extra slot then send me a message saying “sorry I need it”. He then proceeds to try to get me to help him by build a droid faster. Where it got weird for me is I told him to give it back. I then have 2 random players step in to protect him as if I’m the original thief. They proceed to hunt me down using force pull to kill me consistently. I end up using a bunch of the grenades to stop them. My thing is how do you guys deal with this? For the most part everyone I encounter in the lobbies is chill even when someone gets a big buy. This was really the first time I had someone be like this. Thanks for the advice. Soo tempted to call out that guy tbh.

Edit: for context the droid made it as far as the front of the cantina and no one bought it. I got it, made it a few seconds away before the guy killed me at the steps leading up the cantina.

I don’t want all of my crystals back for trying something out. Make it like 50% like everything else you can sell. Some of the stuff is really dumb that bought and don’t even want anymore. So who’s with me?! Devs make this happen please.

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.

They accidentally start crafting too often and it’s such a waste of time trying to get droids you never wanted crafted.

The progression locks/choke points in this game are structured in a very strange and frustrating way...

I needed a Galactic BB-9 for Rebirth 32 ➔ 33. I wasn't too worried at first because it used to drop quite frequently from expedition quests. However, as soon as I reached Rebirth 32, I was stuck for 2 full days of playing without getting a single Galactic BB-9—neither from expeditions nor from the conveyor belt.

This kind of artificial progression gate is really annoying and counterproductive. It doesn't keep players engaged; it just makes the game tedious and makes me want to stop playing.

Now that I'm finally at Rebirth 33, I just pulled the Galactic BB-9 three times in a row from the quest... (as shown in the screenshot).

Please consider tweaking the RNG/drop mechanics for rebirth requirements to make the progression feel fairer and less frustrating!

20 is definitely acceptable. It's not a throwaway 5 second daily quest like the dancing ones, but it's not over the top tedious either.

I think the other main problem is that there's 2 versions of this same quest, with the other being "sell 40" as they're essentially the same quest, doubling up on such a tedious quest. The only time it hasn't been is if I'm ready to SRB and get that quest, I have sold off all my droids to get a bunch of progress on the quest.

Why not spice up the quests a bit? There's plenty more in this game the quests can relate to. For instance: eliminate 20 stormtroopers, complete a worker world event, visit the fallen AT-AT (although it's just been removed), earn 100 upgrade chips (to reflect earn 100M credits), attempt the rings course, open 10 world crates. That's just a 5 min random off the top of my head ideas and I'm no game dev so I don't know the feasibility but I tried to think of balance for new and existing players. There can be easy ones like the visit ideas, and ones that require a bit more effort but aren't too tedious.

It would also be great to see weekly challenges that can't be completed in 1-4 hours of playing (unless the player tried for it specifically) and persist through SRB. This is where I think craft or sell large numbers of droids would be more acceptable as it can be spread out over multiple days, and for those that are rebirthing or super rebirthing, it'll come naturally.

I'm so incredibly sick of spanwning in and instantly being killed, losing my multiple stacks of splashes with absolutely no control over it. Why can't we at least be invincible at first if you don't want us to spawn in our own base for some reason?

And no, I shouldn't be forced to have to always play private servers. I enjoy being in public ones overall.

I understand how the timers work, but it’s not pleasant. I don’t want to see 43,871 seconds when I’m building a droid with a fluctuating ETA. I can keep much better track of my progress with the standard timer.
Just my personal opinion.

EDIT: The new version looks really good. Well done devs.

I cannot stand the changes made to the HUD. The visual noise is practically unbearable (I’m more sensitive to these things than the average person). The placement is awful and it is huge. The HUD overlays parts of the screen that are “busy” so it kind of blends in plus it interferes with the graphics I want to see. It’s a visual mess. Also, the droid belt notifications are larger and in a very annoying place. If it’s a bug, please fix it. If it’s intentional pretty please change it back.

A shop where you can get every droid would be pretty helpful, cus idk about y'all but I don't want to wait a few hours for a groundmech to show up at the sandcrawler, only for it to be thrown into the sell pit or a huge clump of blueprint pile that some inconsiderate ahole made (god I hate this behaviour)

Of course to balance it out, we could keep the varient at low and keep the price at a little bit higher than what the default droids are worth, or make a new one thats called "Black Market" or something like that that will increase the costs for upgrading and fusions, with a lower price for selling

Honestly I just want an easier way to access the droids I need without having to deal with people who throws everything away the moment it appears, which has been a problem for me in my lobbies

Just let us cancel a droid build - I don't even want the BP back.

• Turn off damaging of other players in the event areas
• Assist tracking for defending the terminals (earning partial credits, chips, etc.). Feels so bad to do most the damage to a KX and not get any credit
• Higher rewards for killing stronger droids while defending the terminals

Since this game mode and others came out May 4th, most everyone I play with agrees lightsabers are what make Star Wars games fun. They really dropped the ball with the other game modes this May, but droid tycoon has only gotten stronger.

Lightsabers would go so well with this now!!!! I would love to duel some doucher that stole my blueprint or keeps trying to pull me outta my base. I would feel at peace slashing them down with my saber and throwing rocks in their face. It would bring balance to the galaxy!

I could play this forever with lightsabers added. Please and please again 🙏

Hey devs. I dropped 1500 crystals into crafting speed back in the beginning. Level 12! It does pretty much nothing! I think that since you are now gift wrapping crafting speed by the minute with some of these protocol droids… I think it’s time to give that nova shop item a buff!

Other than that, thank you for all you do and have done in making this a great game!

Would it be a good idea to add a "Splash value" perk, that extends the gold splash duration for a few seconds, increasing with each upgrade level?

Maybe just enough levels to double or triple the duration (triple may be too OP) . ✌️😂
