Thursday night, I did about 5 or 6 queued events and got at least 1 catalyst each time (once I think I got two) and purple crafting materials at least three times.
Friday night and today I've done at least 5 each (mainly the same queues) and haven't gotten a single catalyst or purple crafting material. That seems really strange for random chance.
No, there is nothing strange about random chance delivering you different results. :rolleyes:
We need a way bigger data sample to work with.
That said, it wouldn't shock me at all. The flow of superior and experimental kit mats is what controls the overall Dilithium:Tech Points ratio, choking the supply of them means more Dil spent on upgrade projects across the game population. R&D mats are the new 'currency' for the 'Mk XIV faction' so to speak.
They added catalysts to STF packs? When? The only thing mentioned in the patch notes is: "The Research and Development Pack has been updated to include 4 random Upgrade Accelerators in addition to its prior contents." I am uncertain if that includes all R&D packs, or just the ones from the C-Store.
The drop rate for very rare materials from the STF packs seems to be about 30%. I doubt that has changed since I tested it.
