Is there something wrong with the mission - Starbase Royale. How are you meant to progress in it. So you need to roll the dice 5 times successfully in a row to complete and do this 20 times. 10-15 times in a row im click - failed click - failed click - failed click - failed. Twice I got to 5th roll and both times on the fifth roll - failed. I cant get one completion level let alone 20. The chance of success must be under 10%. and to think you need 5x20 = 100 successful rolls at 40E per roll.
Anyone one else having same issue

Not for a long time but there are a lot of threads about mission failures from long ago... just a matter of doing them until you complete them.

Your luck is out at the moment, don't put on any bets right now. I didn't find it anywhere near that bad, a couple of times I got a completion without a fail. Just beg to the Lords of the RNG.

Ummm, the per round completion reward is 1.5 ku. Why are you wasting any time or energy on that mission?

I was having a similar problem with "Research Espionage" , Risks: Potential to be discovered (Mission Failure). I have completed 11 of 25, but I have failed this mission more times than I have passed it!!! And I thought it would be an easy and inexpensive mission to complete!!

I did it with around 3k cloak, didnt really have a problem.

Well, I'm about to get beat up again by what others seem to think I am calling a "conspiracy", but Dan math and real math are entirely separate. You won't get 1/6 odds for the roll of a dice (for example) and 2 different players will consistently have different odds. It all makes sense to Dan.
Some players will get 10% success rate; some will get 50%; some will get 2%. And not just because the probability varies, but because Dan has done something wrong with working with seed values (or something) with RNG. Different players seem to operate on an entirely different set of odds for everything and there is no an "eventual" averaging out

Another example if "Dan Math" is the Gemini Cannons. There's supposed to be a 2% chance of triggering the 10% damage. With a limit of 3 gemini's, thats either 0.02+0.02+0.02 = 6% or 1*1.02*1.02*1.02 = 6.1208% (depending on whether or not the probabilities are compounding). That means, I should expect a Gemini hit every 16.3 (approx) attack hits. In my experience, it is about every 4th or 5th hit.
