2 cores the entire season, that's it. I never got one elite/boss myself.

smh. Ridiculous.

Is this the part where we complain about the event in the hopes that it will be extended?

I actually DID NPC a fair amount this Q-Pedd seasonal (well, a fair amount for me, lol), and only found 1 prototype. One. I don't know if the spawn rate was lowered this year or people have been extraordinarily unlucky, but very few have been alerted at my legion, too, and we have several serious NPCers.

I'd really like to see it extended for a week. And if the spawn rate is as low as I suspect, maybe upped a tiny bit!

I got zero of them. Apparently, they stop being available at rank 5000

I think that I have been really lucky, found 3 elites in under 5k npc kills, while many npcers at my legion have not found any. The spawn rate for qpedds, in general, seems to be very low.

Only found one here in COG. spawn rate was definitely nerfed

really imo the event should be extended to bring it closer in line to other seasonals regardless of the spawn rate.

i got at least 5 and there were another half dozen alerted to the legion.

i just alerted mine to the legion since i only use the assembly lines for the ability and the upgraded ones only add upkeep cost for no extra benefit in that respect, and the AECs are extractable from planets that i invade.

so not really worth getting excited over imo.

Damn, sounds like a horrible drought. I found at least a dozen myself there must have been at least 100 alerted here. Not sure how many Emotion Cores I picked up THIS season but I found 4 Assembly Line 6.0s

Yeah, it was really bad!

Comparison: two years ago, I devoted about half as much time to NPCing as this year, was scrapping Assembly Lines in short order and had Emotion Cores for weeks. This year, we had people actively NPCing and Legion Missions with NPC components to up the numbers, but they just weren't dropping (got tons of those purple ships, tho). I'd say it's a bad luck issue, but have spoken with people in other legions who experienced the same thing with the low spawn rate.

I'm loathe to agree with senatorhung on anything, but it's really not a huge issue... though if GL is still around next year, I do hope the spawns are upped a smidge.
