For example, one Very rare will give one Rare pack.
How about something like 8 rare packs, will make one Very Rare. Given the odds of getting a lower pack, this could be a boon, to sell more, as people will buy them up even more, to race to the big ultra rare super duper ship pack, or even for some consoles they may want from the lower ones.
The current down grading is fine but what the system actually needs is actual rewards for people who have all the event ships with nothing to spend EPIC ones on. So increasing the value of the lower rarity devalues the packs overall where we already have a devalued exchange for dilithium in the worst rate right now.
If it didn't serve that advantage it wouldn't be a thing anymore.
