As a game player, I can't agree more that it would be nice to get the reward that I want each and every time. But think about this... You're raiding an enemy space station. You don't control what they have in their cargo bays. You steal what they have available. You can't steal an Xbox from a dollar store. We get a choice of rewards for the silver badges because, in essence, they are being given out by "our government."

I feel it doesn't really add anything good. On the contrary, you lose out a lot. Drop rate of enumeration crystals is around 5%, while your token system would mean doing 20 bases and only having a single crystal to show for it and no other rewards.

Why would anyone use tokens for the ctp, if you can get an enumeration crystal for the equivalent of 120 ctp? And if you want tri-phase cutters/adumbrate stations, making those tradeable would be a better solution than having to buy them using tokens.

The reward system is also meant to have people going after higher level bases. With the system you are suggesting, we'd stick to level 4's around the clock. A bit less tokens but almost no energy cost. The current system is good. If you are unlucky, try again. You don't get the best drops from every npc either.

And why you not make a real account trying to hide who you are lol!!!

Not hiding, just the automatically chosen name because of the facebook-connect If you looked at the signature, my IGN is clear in there.

I already have found all of the rewards. I am only missing one parser, but it's not really important to me. Neither is levelling my Anubix with raids. The real reward are the badges for me, and I still pour most of my energy into bases. If you were fighting dark command nexusses, and you only got a cache one in twenty times, would Dan need to change the npc system as well? Maybe add dark badges to each npc and offer all the rewards on the battle market Darth explains the best why not.

I know how hard it is to get ctp. Still, there are plenty of ways to get it. We managed to get our base to level 7 without real sacrifices. Base fights have gathered less than 5% of what was needed. If you can't gather that by npc's, then buy it from other players with kurenite or credits. Or better. Sell exo-clamps. Plenty of legions will pay you to install those and in our case, it is exactly the same as your token system suggests. 25 ctp per clamp, or 80 silver badges for 1000 ctp. In short, ctp is just another form of currency. Not a reward in itself.

your barking up the wrong tree. I am trying to help the galaxy. will this change benefit me yes the same as it will all. I have all the rewards, hell I am 4th in contribution on my own base and ours is the biggest one out there atm. just I have been playing from the beginning and when something is not right.... IE the base rewards per time and effort to do them, its wrong, and should be addressed. Its been a while and unless we keep hounding Dan with new ideas on the issues nothing will get fixed.

no dark command nexus should not change using your example... however it should always yield 1 DSC if not 2 each time.
