This time around, for blue data pads... 10,000 = 1000 PC (40 pads)
20,000 = 2000 PC (80 pads)
50,000 = 5000 PC (200 pads)
Seriously?
Even the red data pads were ridiculously high in terms of points for "prizes." Is this how Pixonic thinks they'll get people to hand over money? For 「dookie」 deals like this?
Summary: no blue data pad prizes for F2P, you must buy extra blue pads.

Ok Grandad, calm down. The trick here is not to buy them. Don’t be the fool parted from his money, especially if it’s ’useless green stuff’. Maybe you just need a cup of tea and a nap? All that complaining must really take it out of you.

I just collect whatever they throw at me in the free E operations tasks.
I didn't mind when they had the data pads in the ultimate schmuck game as I got a lot of meta stuff but at this point I wouldn't even "invest" in red pads since everything is being nerfed.

Green tea at that to go with the green useless stuff.
The real problem is that there's no recorded history for any of these events, especially leadership. Maybe youtube?
There used to be "Operations" A-D, with various free bits here and there.
So yes, I'm not the fool that is parted from their money.
Complaining is very therputic, it takes all of the anger out of me, and lets me get a good night's sleep.
But a better way to judge the success is to look over and see how many people are getting up to 10,000 points. So far the count is "0". From where I sit, I can't see anyone handing over cash to buy blue maxipads. My complaining is just a manifestation of people not spending.

Yep, Pix used to have free stuff in most operations, but by now you must know how they operate. I used to buy operations passes right back at the beginning, but not for a long time now. We all know how Pix works, steadily reducing the value of everything. If it’s any consolation it seems Starbases max out at level 57 (currently). My clan with a dozen or so active players and as many again occasional players is at 56 already, so no need to waste cash or stress on their latest scam. Even at level 56 there is very little worth producing. Two months to generate enough microchips for one level upgrade? Enough power cells to hit the button twice a day? The opportunity to spend a further 3 months worth of Thorium on an outdated mothership with no good turrets? Seriously, don’t stress, no one is missing out on anything.
