Queens not dropping

Apr 03, 2018 Drevent1 link
I have killed at least 20 Queens this week and not a single drop of anything except ore and scrap

The drops are low percentage, and the chance of getting something doesnt accumulate per queen killed. I beleive rogue and dynamic queens have a slightly higher drop rate, so try taking part in hive skirmishes maybe?

Dynamic queens too have a very low drop rate, and Rogue Queen missions go away after crossing certain licences.

It's not a bug though, just bad luck. You could on some days get nicer drops from multiple queens too.

Sometimes that is the way the cookie crumbles with queens.

I know the drop rate is fairly low but I have killed over 1200 Queens and it seems that drops have dried up in the last few weeks
I am not complaining just wondering if something is broken

Queens are now dropping since the server reset so either its a coincidence or something was amiss

Dynamic queens in my eyes seems to drop more stuff than normal Hive queens.

Queens always dropped, you're just unlucky.

Coming from someone who's killed like 200 queens this week.

I have killed almost 1000 queens and only seen 2 cores. One thing I think I noticed is if you join a group with two or more others, the drop rate seems to rise. Not sure if it was just coincidence, but when I join a queening group the queens tend to drop more.

I just killed 10 queens. I got these drops, no group, levi sector.

1x Core
4x Hive Posi
3x Hive Gat

Which is about the average.

The thing with really crap drop rates are the matrix, I've only got like a couple of those.

That many from 10 queens? WTF? I get a drop every 8 or so. The levi queens are better but not by much.

I am talking about rogue queens in empty sectors
I know the drop rate is low for them
but it seems that after every other update they don't drop at all

rogue? or static? Rogue queens are mission-only. Static queens (dunno their official name) are the randomly placed ones you find by following collectors.

I agree drevent. Drop rates need to be at LEAST quadrupled.

Luxen I am referring to the ones you find following collectors sorry for confusion

Its easiest to define the queens as critical queens, rogue queens, wild queens, and levi queens.

Disambiguity ;)

Wild queens are those you track via collectors, rogue queens are those from the rogue queen mission, crital and levi queens are self explanatory.

And the drops seem ordered such the levi queens drop most, then criticals, then the wild queens and finally ive never seen one of my thirty or more rogue queens drop anything other than ore.

The wilds, crits, and levis have all been dropping well. Last week I got 3 queen gats, 4 cores, and a matrix. Mostly came from the wild flavor. The previous month I only got ores. You get what you get.
