11 KDEstroy Members 73 posts 1,466 battles Report post #1 Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) I'm especially curious about the "try your luck" container, does anyone know the chances of pulling a supercontainer? Does anyone even pick it? I never do, and still manages to get supercontainers on a monthly basis. Edited March 14, 2017 by KDEstroy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
843 [HINON] Warped_1 [HINON] Members 2,295 posts 22,110 battles Report post #2 Posted March 14, 2017 I used to use TYL exclusively until they added the new "upgrades. Now just choose credits as I figure I get 650k credits every 8 days or so and the other items are gravy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
521 [HINON] Admiral_Franz_von_Hipper Members 2,136 posts 5,753 battles Report post #3 Posted March 14, 2017 TYL on NA because I am pretty full of stuff here already, Credits on EU because I don't have many credits there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
304 surratus Members 919 posts 4,023 battles Report post #4 Posted March 14, 2017 Despite a 7 to 10 container a week habit, I haven't picked a super container since before the Holiday Santa spree. No worries though, I made out like a bandit on the Santa Boxes, so I figure I caught all my fish in the first cast. After a few months of Signal Flags and Camo early on, I now routinely pick Consumables. It's all what you need and use, the only thing I'm ever short on is Free XP. I might try to switch to the Try Your Luck's just for the novelty, and I'm curious to see what the new "upgrades" are all about. I truly respect the Liberty Ship so the visit is always satisfying regardless - one of WG better ideas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
771 [BEARS] Chien_Lu_Anderman [BEARS] Beta Testers, In AlfaTesters 4,191 posts 12,703 battles Report post #5 Posted March 14, 2017 I switched from TYL to Signals and Camo because if you do not get a Super in TYL you get 4 flags . Whereas Signals and Camo gets you a minimum of 12 flags max or 8 and camo sometimes . I usually sell the type 1 and 2 camo and the chance of a Super is (iirc) only 1% less .

83 Zim_Xero Members 765 posts 2,849 battles Report post #6 Posted March 14, 2017 I do consumables because 6 consumables guaranteed = 135,000 credits each roll. In addition you get one random grab bag and a half chance at supercontainer. I understand why players go signals though, since many of them you can't buy.

8,201 [GWG] BrushWolf [GWG] Supertester 27,085 posts 14,661 battles Report post #7 Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) I usually take the first two of the day as credits and if I get the third I usually take that as a TYL.

2,194 [SYN] Kuckoo Members 5,877 posts 13,296 battles Report post #8 Posted March 14, 2017 Preferred checkboxes instead of pushbuttons, as I cycle through the credits, flags, and consumables with every turn. I almost never pick the Try Your Luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
772 Wowzery Members 4,546 posts Report post #9 Posted March 14, 2017 S&C, I used to do TYL, but wasn't getting any SC. So I figured might as well get more for my containers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
81 [WOLF2] khan1670 Members 437 posts 9,368 battles Report post #10 Posted March 14, 2017 Switch back and forth between Signals and consumables usually. I haven't tried a TYL container in a long time and it's been quite a while since I got a SC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
321 [KOOKS] pyantoryng Alpha Tester 2,861 posts 4,861 battles Report post #11 Posted March 14, 2017 Signals and Camo...and it comes with the occasional extra beds. Which box gives out port slot, anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
293 [ARMDG] TheZeke00 Privateers 798 posts Report post #12 Posted March 14, 2017 I generally like the signals and camo crate; i feel it's the most useful. Plus sometimes you get goodies like modules, cash, or even free xp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,209 [CVA16] Sabot_100 Members 5,637 posts 17,317 battles Report post #13 Posted March 15, 2017 I started out taking the Signals but ended up always getting flags I never use (like lots of ramming flags) so switched to Consumables. Tried but never got much from TYL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3,508 [RKLES] Admiral_Thrawn_1 Members 12,557 posts 14,317 battles Report post #14 Posted March 15, 2017 I do camo and flags usually and once in a while consumables. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
786 [TOG] Bill_Halsey Members 4,213 posts 25,084 battles Report post #15 Posted March 15, 2017 Signals and camo. Because some of them stack up with you captain skills. I got enough credits so problems there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
227 [SPTR] SullyQuindarius Members 2,462 posts 2,248 battles Report post #16 Posted March 15, 2017 Signals and camo or credits when I'm low. I gave up on TYL: got three supercontainers so far and got a whopping 250 speed flags (since removed) and two, useless new upgrades. Yay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,899 [WAIFU] pikohan [WAIFU] Members 3,614 posts 15,345 battles Report post #17 Posted March 15, 2017 TYL all day everyday. I've only chosen TYL since containers came out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
75 [AAA] Acychism Members 169 posts 6,699 battles Report post #18 Posted March 15, 2017 I usually took the TYL option for the first one because I seemed to have great luck at picking up 250 Sierra Mike signals in SCs. Too bad they were removed. My Lol-rado ate those things up. Now I usually go for the TYLs for the 750 FXP reward (which happens surprisingly often) or the Signals/Camo one to stock up on +100% XP camo for my next grind.

5,615 [PVE] Kizarvexis Members 19,969 posts 12,600 battles Report post #19 Posted March 16, 2017 I take the signals crate as I play mostly co-op and very rarely earn them. I don't really use them in co-op and save them for my occasional foray into PvP. If I'm low on credits, I'll do the credit crate until I'm back in the black.

520 [JWB] CrazyHorse_Denver Members 1,475 posts 17,487 battles Report post #20 Posted March 16, 2017 I go with the consumable containers these days. I earn plenty of credits and FXP in game; it's also easy to earn signal flags in game. So I save money by getting the containers besides the fact that many of the premium consumables can have a much bigger impact on a ship's performance than flags or camo.
