Lockbox results from the test server.

I own 50 keys on live servers, I decided I would transfer a charicter over to the test server and move the keys into the shared bank before deleting the charicter and tranfering it again. This allowed me to stockpile 400 keys and lockboxes.
The test charicter now has roughly 2000 lobi: number of lockbox ships?
29 mirror ships
298 mining claims (1.5 million dil (at 5k dil a day, taking the best part of a year to redeem))
Zero very rare ships.
If you want a very rare ship, it doesnt take Einstien to work out its better to just sell the keys.
Just figured I would share my results.

CRUISERS NEED A 206% HULL BUFF
If you were to redo this exercise, the results will be different.
Actually, why don't you try it again? flush your character and transfer it again, who knows you may end-up with 5 very rare ships.
RNG, gotta love 'em!
Thanks for reading, it was 400 not 50.
I do plan on doing it again but I believe 400 was sufficent to disuade me on actualy using the keys on a live server.
I did this test for my own benefit and posted results for those interested in reading it, as you didnt read the full first post I'll take it for granted you dont count...
When the bugships were dropping though, I opened 10 packs, dropped a bug, then a friend of mine did it straight after.
1001 emails and messages later all saying pretty much the same, 'Sell it for 10mil EC?', reply something along the lines of 'only 340mil short!'
But hey, Im still using it.
I can only speak more from WoW as I have played that the longest and I know the items a mob drops are set on spawn, not death like some think. People have complaigned when farming a mount that they have done 100 runs and the mount has 1% drop chance that they should have gotten one by now. Some replied they are on farming run 400 and still waiting and others had said they got it on the first or other such low number run. However it is not a drop chance, it is a 1% chance when the mob spawns that it will be with the mount, that means there is a 99% chance that it won't, and this is not cumulative it is each time.
Many moons ago I opened two Cardy boxes, the first game me a boost, I think it was XP, the second gave me the Galor. Others had said they had opened hundreds and not recieved the Galor.
