Working on a fix???? cash stop items should be sorted out within hours not days or weeks!, have you(splitscreen) taken the faulty items off sale in the cash shop??? if not you are willingly selling faulty items
You are correct, they willingly selling faulty items. Even Astraeus says not to buy them no more, but maybe you keep buying.

I am not stating the bp booster does not work! It DOES work !! All you have to do is go to a lower system and bps drop left - right - & centre!!

All I am saying is that the base settings for bps to drop in DRACONIS are so low as to basically make the BP booster practically useless. The real problem is on The Hive.

I am explaining my findings using basic maths!

For example: If say, vega has a basic drop rate of 25% then a double booster would increase that to 50% chance.

If a system has a basic drop rate of 2% then a double bp booster would give a 4% chance.

Can you see that 2% and 4% are basically VERY LOW and for all intent will appear to give similar game drop rate results!

The higher a basic drop rate is the MORE effective the booster works! This is WHY the lower systems appear to work with the booster and Draconis does not!

This is actually a MAJOR problem for one main reason...... IF you make the next system follow the SAME reduction rate as SOL to DRACONIS then the BP Booster will have NO effect whatsoever!

Why do I say this? Simple... the bp basic drop rate will be so low that none of the bp boosters will be worth anything!

So the real problem is the way the game is adjusted for each increasing system! The current system cannot be maintained as it has a limit of booster effectiveness.

Your new bp system may be the answer, I don't know. I guess time will tell.

All I can say is that whatever system is finally employed it needs to show pilots that to BUY a booster DOES infact appear to HELP according to the COST!

Its about VALUE for money from our point of view and not PROFIT for you from your point of view. This is simple customer relations and economics.

Santa has gave the best reply and his point is right. The base drop rate for drac is very very low. So if it's like a 5% chance then your gonna get an elite bp booster which is a 100% increase (double for those that cant understand) you will be gettin a 10% chance. So as he is sayin it's so low that a bp booster is useless.

On askone when I was in gemini I had enough gold to get a 3hr elite bp booster. I got it, killed rocketeers on prosp for 3hrs. When I got done I had made 8k cry and only droped about 50 blue bps and I killed a ton of rocketeers. After that I swore I would never buy another one of them boosters and I havent. I tried a 15min bp booster when they came out on mars. Not a single bp then 2min after the bp booster was up I droped 3 bps in a row lol.

But period if the booster isnt workin for ya then dont buy it and report it. as for using one in drac dont bother. santa is right. the bp chance there is too low for it to matter. Though I aint had problems gettin bps on gazica. 1hr I got the blaster for a clan member and myself and the aim scram. Longest I had was for the rockets which took me bout 15hrs total time.

I'm gonna be afraid of the next system cause as we notice the bp chance drops each system so if it's this low here then... I dont even wanna think about it. SS will need to change the drop % and change how the boosters work per system. For drac it seems it will need to be far more then 100%

tbh as many would say... that's their own fault. people should read the forums and all GMs n SS will say that. If ya dont bother reading then yer gonna be left out by your own fault unless someone tells ya about it.

anyway no point in arguing over it, im stopping posting anything on these forums from now on cos it seems nothing us players say ever gets listened too. this game is missing something to fill in the massive gap there is between players finishing all the sm in a system and the opening of a new system, cos at the moment there is nothing, cqs have died and there aint even any cqs in draconis, you can only grind/farm so much before the game becomes so boring it will send you to sleep
