Strike Team Equipment bug - ever fixed?

Yeah, but that will only proc 1/6 Gold missions. Basically, 1/2 cost, 2x effectiveness, 1/6 proc rate. Total: 2/3 the averaged effectiveness/MF compared to EHI.

I'm firmly convinced the cheapest way is to buy none of these, run two teams, and just re-roll one of your teams when it accrues too many negative traits such that you can't get Golds at (my personal #) >=50%. But it is a pain as it takes a high level of attention to the app (especially if you are an obsessive logger like myself).

At the other end of the spectrum, are those who prefer to run all 6 teams, 5 with the +40 specialized gear, one with the +20 general. But that takes a front end cost of 1475 MF (if I have my calcs right). Which I think you'll never get close to making back.

I always do the former, but this time, after getting too many neg traits failing 50-55% Golds, and being lucky enough to level a new team with four +5's, I just decided to do the general this one time. I'm hoping the minimum 78% success (84% when the one special trait hits), vastly minimizes negative crits.

I suspect negative crits are some fcn of both difficulty and success rate, i.e. a 5% Gold will result in much higher neg crit rates than a 50% Gold, which will be higher than a 78%. I'm hoping the 78% is near-nil to not negate my "investment".

Revisiting to give an update. And also speaks to this thread.

[Jinxing myself here!]
I've run over 200 Gold missions (all either 78% or 84%) with my EHI Delta Team and it has never gotten a negative trait. My other team exclusively does Bronze/Silver (94% / 91-93% respectively), and has also never negative crit'd. Haven't missed a single payout with just two teams, but yeah, there have been some close calls where timer was running out.

Definitely something very non-linearly tying negative criting to Gold success probability. Maybe even (fingers crossed/jinx) it is disabled over a certain %?

Dang. maybe someone at bioware could still trigger something in the server end manually? Twitter I think..

I've had that too, and in the end I had to retire the team
Now they're mostly sitting at Kralla's Song I hear
