[SC] Theory Proven

Okay I have stated before and will repeat my statement DO NOT BUILD THE APIS DRONE UNTIL YOU HAVE BUILT THE ZEUS DRONE. I made the mistake and built my Apis as soon as I had the Blueprints to do so. I just collected the 45 key for my SECOND Apis Drone and all of a sudden these Apis Prints are now ZEUS Prints as I can not collect the Apis further. I collect my boxes on Zeus Day ONLY to increase the number of Blueprints available and usually collect about 5% Apis Prints to a 1% Zeus Print and there seems to be a never ending supply of Prismatic Sockets, Hybrid Processors, Micro Transistors, High Frequency Cable, Nano Case, and Nano Condensors in these along with the assorted Boosters, Ammo, Jump and Repair Credits, Extra Energy, and Log Disks, which I have NO IDEA what to use them on, but I have them if I find something I want to craft with them.

But back to the point, once I picked my 45th Apis print I started finding my Zeus Prints that I have been searching for so I could get my 10th Drone. Instead of getting the Apis (that I would usually receive I got the Zeus print instead, I can only hope once I have built it and collected another 45 of these prints I will finally start getting the elusive LF-4 that we all desire so much.

So no matter how badly you want that 9th drone you are better off waiting till you have the 10th and might even hold off till you have a full complement of LF-4's but I will advise further once I get the 45th Zeus Print.

 

I can assist with this as I currently have all of my drones and 45 Apis and 5 Zeus parts. I did find it funny that I continued collecting the Apis parts when I already had it built but now I am seeing the Zeus parts much faster. I was a lucky one and got a Full Zeus from a Apocalypse Booty Box so now it is a matter of getting the keys and Gold Boxes to check the theory.

It is nice to finally see proof of what has been seen in the forums about not building the Apis until you were ready to build the Zeus.

 

That is an Amazing ADVICE/Observation. Guys who are does not have apis drone, follow this. As this will save you so much more time until you have zeus.

 

Have been telling noobs this for the last 3 years, but they don't listen adn still want to get apis asap until they finally have it. Later they realize and regret.

 

I do it in every thread that asks what to do next and try to get them to understand let it wait but like you say they are more interested in the 9th drone and extra help it give over the cost of what they have to do to get the Zeus. I want to check my theory on the LF-4 when I get my Zeus ready to build, with the Apis and Zeus Blueprints become LF-4's? We will have to wait and see.

 

with apis and zeus you only get 4 slots more plus if you can't put lf4's in the slots it's double not worth to buy for uri

 

You CAN put LF-4's in the slots, what I am questioning is if the Zeus and Apis Blueprints are not able to be given if the LF-4 replaces them?

 

Obviously I meant if you don't have lf4's to put in the slots.

 

Well actually the extra slots are always helpful no matter what you put into them, BUT YES I agree I would not SPEND to build either of them (Blueprints ONLY), but I was foolish as I was unaware that you needed the Apis Blueprints full to be guaranteed ZEUS Blueprints on ZEUS DAY. But the accounts I am FULL APIS are now seeing ZEUS when I would normally see Apis and before I build the Zeus I will see if I increase the LF-4 Drops and report back on them also.

 

Hello HelpMeHelpYou,

Just to clear the air a bit, you do not need to have Full Apis Blueprints to receive Zeus Blueprints on Zeus Day. If you have a few Apis Blue Prints you will still obtain Zeus Blueprints on Zeus day.

 

YES I did mention I was getting a 5:1 Apis to Zeus Blueprint on the Original Post, BUT once the Apis was FULL I was getting many more Zeus for the same time period, as in the Apis became Zeus parts.

 

what server do you play on op?

 

As seen in my Signature I am on US2 (USA West) and US3 (USA East 2).

 

I think he means that if you keep Apis 45/45, you eliminate chance to get apis parts = more chance to get zeus parts.

 

Maybe it was just luck.

 

Never seen more than one or two Zues parts in a day and I pulled 5 when the Apis was full. I will have a better idea on the next Zeus Day.

 

Nice one man. Keep updating on this. Hope your theory is true.
I am Full UFE but it is very good to know this for new players.

Thanks for your patience and good work.

Okay so today is Zeus and Red and Blue Booty day. I had 5 keys from quests completed and bought 50 from shop. These were all used in the 5-2 map so I could also collect thye Aurus everyone leaves lying around in the map (it is also staying with the area I have used the other keys). I am usually lucky to see 1 Zeus part using this number of keys I got 3. I Also received a LF-4, 2 BO-2's, 7900 Speed Generator, 11 Assembly Hardware, 10 with various Boosters and times, and a ton of ammo combinations. I rarely ever see a LF-4 at any time and almost always see 2-5 Apis parts but I am full on these so it is further confirmed that having the Apis Completely FULL increases the drops of the other coveted items.

It was sad that Zeus Day had to share with Red and Blue, I might have actually received 10K Uridium (Ship award replacement) or more Zeus Parts if they were not in the map.
