10. 100 ESCL

 

In total spend 32 dollars.  Texas at i.e 20 dollars + a 10 point cap.  Gettin the Texas was kinda worth it, but only NEARLY.

Advice? DON'T SPEND A PENNY MORE ON THIS

:)

If you buy in bundles of 10 or more then you have less chance of getting something because it is decided as soon as you get them, smaller bundles have seemed to work for me ships wise.

Dammn... You'd like to hope that through sheer weight of boxes someone would have got all the tastiest ships after £600+....

 

 

I will think of you next time I throw 12x305mm Stalinium AP at an unsuspecting seal :sceptic:

"Apparently" the boxes are decided at the point of sale, so buying in small batches will re-roll and update to what you might get in comparison to what's in your port.

Buy 1 at a time if you're going to. Or 3 which some have agreed on is a fair balance.

 

Good luck if you do go down that route!

It's not without reason to buy the crates smaller numbers at a time.

 

The game determines the drops in the crates and checks what premium ships you have at the moment you recieve them. So if you buy lots of crates and get multiple ship containers, there's a chance that you can get duplicate ships. If you however buy the crates in smaller stacks, the chance to get more than one ship per bunch is very low, which almost eliminates the chance for getting duplicate ships.

 

If you buy for example 20 crates at once, get lucky with three ships, you might end up with one or possibly two duplicates, which translates into only one ship and some spare doubloons (plus two port slots and two captains).

If you buy those same crates in stacks of five and not get more than one lucky ship per stack, you are guaranteed to get three unique ships.

it's entirely without reason, it's based on an assumption with zero basis. If you can't see it here you never will.

^ based on speculation [edited]and assumption...

How the game determines drops and checks against duplicates isn't a baseless assumption.

 

But since you're so eager to just brush of my advice and denounce my learning capacities I doubt I'd have to waste time going into more detail as I already did. Take it or leave it, whichever suits your attitude best.

Bought 3 now and got 2x100 ESCL signal flags and 35 Blue Occean.  

 

Pretty satisfied although my earlier purchases were very dissapointing (got enough camos for a year and a half) except for my lovable Molly which I got on the first day.
