What type of issue do you have? Missing Rewards
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Summarize your bug I don’t know if this is supposed to happen or if it’s a bug, but I just spent 650+ Fleet Battle energy on 5-A Notmal trying to earn some Ship Ability Omega Materials, and out of the 65+ Battles, I received absolutely 0 of those mats. Is the drop rate that horrible or has EA decided to not actually have that reward dropeven once in 65+ Battles!?
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Just attempt any battle on level 5 Normal.

Hi @Wilbur691,
Seems like you just had really bad rng on that node. We've tested it and out of 12 battles (SIMed) we got 2 Ship Ability Material Omegas. Please keep in mind that this is not representative, it is just showing that the material is dropping as intended.

Bad RNG? 65+ battles worth of bad RNG? That’s a joke if I ever heard one. A waste of 650+ energy and you’re telling me not even one drop and you say it’s just bad RNG? I could understand if it was 12 Battles... but over 65 and not a single drop? So maybe you can answer what the exact drop rate is for that material. And if you can’t(or won’t), maybe it’s because you know it’s a broken system that you are unwilling to fix.

I've never seen an EA employee confirm actual drop rates anywhere, so I expect they are not allowed to say what the rate is.
I found this post on reddit, where the poster said over 851 sims he had a drop rate of about 5.77% (so I'll assume the drop rate is about 5%).
https://www.reddit.com/r/SWGalaxyOfHeroes/comments/95vjab/update_on_the_ship_omega_drop_rates/
So if the drop rate is 5% chance, then you have a 95% chance of getting 0 omegas on a Sim. Over 65 sims, your odds are 0.95^(65) = 0.036 = 3.6% chance.
While that seems really low, remember that the odds of getting an omega in one sim is 5%, and your odds of getting 0/65 is 3.6%...so very similar odds. Couched in those terms, 0/65 is not unreasonable (although it is unlucky).

Considering his response was 2 in 12 Battles, which is slightly better than 16%... and you’re saying 5.77%... I am highly suspecting EA of fudging their numbers to appear that drop rates are very good... or the math to get 5.77% isn’t adding up. Either way, I’d have to sim 4 more and hit an omega each time just to get to 5%... so again, I’ll assume since I don’t spend real money on this game that EA doesn’t give a crap about it. Thanks for your “volunteer”-ness.

And of course they won’t give the drop rate percentage. But by God they’ll give “pack probabilities” in the store if you spend real money lol. A bunch of BS really.
