Strike Team Question

Thanks. I had checked your strike team guide in the past and recalled something about "critical failures".

I still imagine crits will have their own probability table, which may be a fcn of difficulty level and/or success chance.  While I can't say how they do it, I'm pretty sure (based on a lot of logging), that the negative trait rate is much higher on low-probability missions.  So I'm sure it isn't just a "1% chance on any mission".  It could be as simple as a second roll with a fix crit %, after a fail (so greater failure rate chance, i.e. Golds and other low-probability attempts, would lead to more negative traits).

I have changed my approach (tired of getting 16+ negatives!) by no longer attempting any below 50%.  And my negative trait rate has dropped precipitously.  Instead of as much as 2 a week(!), maybe one every 2-6 weeks.

One thing I did figure out from my logging that you don't have in your excellent guide:  Strike mission XP formula.  It is:

150 XP per minute with following multipliers:

0.1X for a fail

1X for Bronze

2X for Silver

6X for Gold

Apex vs. nominal doesn't matter (except Apex missions are typically longer, thus indirectly higher XP).
