I Became a Commander in a Crappy SF Game.

Ch.197New Event Preview (3)

by fnovelpia

After wasting several hours, our incompetent administrators finally sent users a proper event notice.

However, this “proper and detailed” event notice contained information that gave users plenty to think about.

—————————————-

<<<‘Ancient Empire Ruins’ Event Launch!>>>

<Shortly, ‘Ancient Base Ruins’ with random structures will open near Commanders’ bases.>

˪<These are locations believed to contain bases of ancient civilizations that have now perished.>

˪<It is unknown what may exist at these coordinates.>

˪<You might need to deploy just a few Superhumans, or it could be a massive space requiring mobilization of your entire fleet.>

˪<The important thing is that if you find a proper research base or laboratory with research materials inside, you can obtain rewards through them.>

<1. One Dimensional Causality Fixation Ticket that guarantees obtaining a random starship.>

˪<Appears within SSS~D rank>

<2. One Dimensional Causality Fixation Ticket that guarantees obtaining a random Superhuman.>

˪<Appears within SSS~D rank>

<Caution!>

˪<If you do not find a ‘Research Base’ or ‘Laboratory’ before the event period ends, you cannot receive rewards!>

˪<Rewards 1 and 2 obtained through ‘Ancient Base Ruins’ are only provided for the first clear.>

˪<‘Ancient Empire Capital’ will open when the total clear rate of ‘Ancient Base Ruins’ exceeds 50%.>

˪<Please note that event rankings will reflect scores obtained from both ‘Ancient Base Ruins’ and ‘Ancient Empire Capital’.>

“Hmm.”

“Has the event started, Commander?”

“Yes, it finally has.”

I nodded while reading through the announcement, thinking that this time, unusually, there seemed to be quite a lot of different elements attached.

Before long, I discovered something particularly irritating in the announcement.

‘Wait a minute, what’s with these ranks?’

Lumping SSS to ‘D’ rank together?

What’s more, they still absolutely refused to disclose the actual probabilities for each rank, which made my eyebrows twitch involuntarily.

Since the event had started, I first sent my starships carrying Superhumans and each fleet to scout the area.

Then I opened the gallery to see how other users were reacting and if anything else had changed while I was away from the game.

Of course, while opening the gallery, I was certain that most users would be cursing like crazy and whining…

Seeing the state of the posts as soon as the gallery opened, I found myself nodding at the sight of these predictable jokesters.

Hey admins, is it right to just give single draws from SSS to D rank and call it a day?

Shouldn’t you at least give us 10-draws so we can pick up at least an A or S rank from there?

-[I should’ve known something was off when this Crappy Game started handing out guaranteed gacha tickets]

-[It’s still better than paying for single guaranteed draws, right? Cheers]

-[LOLOL]

-[It’s easier if you just give up]

Even Chinese devs in my past life didn’t rig probabilities like this ffs

It’s not just gacha that’s random, but dungeons too? Does that make any sense?

Admins, disclose the event probabilities immediately!

Comments:

-[Like they ever would LOLOL]

-[Ah LOLOL]

-[If you don’t like the temple, the monk should leave]

-˪[They block us from leaving and then say we should leave, you morons](Author)

-˪[Sigh, if you don’t know, you should just keep your mouth shut]

-˪[Wow, got hit hard for speaking up once]

—————————————-

While all sorts of posts criticizing the administrators were popping up everywhere, creating a scene reminiscent of a colosseum…

Whether the gallery was on fire or not wasn’t important to me right now.

I deleted and blocked a few attention-seeking posts and users, and decided to look for the “information” I wanted.

Fortunately, I was able to find analysis posts about the event information sneaking in between all those flaming posts.

First, this event was initially held 3 years and 6 months ago in game time

The changes are mostly minor stat adjustments and new dungeon styles?

Most things will be similar to the original

But the rewards have changed a bit – back then the minimum was A-rank and they gave 10-draws, but now they’ve added down to D-rank and only give single draws?

Back then, the structure included duds, resource boxes, and equipment boxes

This time it’s a guaranteed pick – if it’s a starship, you get a starship; if it’s a Superhuman, you get a Superhuman – so depending on the person, this might seem better

Comments:

-[Interesting post]

-[Tasty corn]

-[So it’s a battle between getting destroyed with 10-draws versus getting a D-rank with a single draw?]

-˪[Yep, that’s right]

-˪[Really not an easy choice]

—————————————-

While the event rewards had been reduced from 10-draws to single draws…

They had changed to “guaranteed rewards,” which made me suddenly feel very positive about this event.

After all, before investing in starship stocks, I had spent 30 or was it 50 draws?

And what was the result of those gacha pulls?

‘Ah, it was a complete disaster.’

Having given up on obtaining new forces through gacha after that truly disastrous experience…

For me, a single-draw ticket with a “guaranteed” result, despite the extremely wide range, seemed much more beneficial than some mediocre 10-draw ticket.

And while I was reading these posts, despite the event having just started…

Authentication shots of “Ancient Base Ruins” that users had found began to appear one by one in the gallery…

I have no Superhumans so I prepared exclusively for fleet battles

What is this

Comments:

-[This guy’s the opposite of the post above]

-[LOLOLOLOLOL]

-[What are you waiting for, hurry up and roll gacha to get some Superhumans]

-[Dude’s fleet is seriously well-developed, upvote]

-˪[Idiot…]

—————————————-

Seeing the truly “random” dungeons that showed absolutely no consideration for the Commander’s situation…

I decided to offer a sincere prayer for the “dungeon” that our fleet was still searching for and I hadn’t yet seen.

‘I already paid my dues with those 50 draws, so please let luck be on my side this time.’
