Gathering Launch Resources From Kits

[Navigata07]

This question was posted in a different thread, but to give it more visibility, I'm posting it here to get more feedback (thank you @LjGibbs @Husam and @Pit1024 for your feedback so far) Question below:

For all the players out there who have a large supply of launch resources (more than 50 PEBs for example), I have two questions in regards to your resources:
1) How were you able to accumulate so many items? How long did you go without launching in order to build your supply?
2) How have you been able to maintain your collection and prevent it from dwindling?

I know about visiting neighbors and having the launch item buildings (I have 6 rocket gardens and 4 alien legacies), therefore accumulating items isn't the real issue. I can easily stop launching for months and build up my stores. The issue is maintaining the stash once you accumulate it. You can blow all your resources in just one QL party if it's a long one. However, there are many players who do launches everyday and have a large supply at their disposal all the same. I just want to know if there is something amiss in terms of ability to accumulate items at a fast enough rate to counter the loss due to daily launches.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I personally don't like opening so many boxes at once, and I wouldn't recommend you guys do it either. Even though each box is random, I do see a trend happening at times where I get LFTs and MSs more often (sometimes 2 or 3 boxes apart). I usually open two boxes at a time. If I do get one of the big 3 items, I reset the count. If I don't, I stop and try again in a few hours. It seems to work for me at least. I dont feel as frustrated because even if I don't get the items I want, I'm preserving my boxes for when a streak comes along.

I do something similar. Given my view that LFT, MS and PEB should total 30% of chests opened, then 1 in every 5 boxes should be one of them.
So I start counting until
either
I get a PEB, MS or LFT, in which case I start the count to five again.
or
The count reaches 5, in which case I stop opening launch chest for a couple of hours.

This way I hope to take advantage of the 'hot streaks' but not waste chests chasing them.

Right. Everyone will have a different setting for their count, but the idea is to set a limit of common items you are willing to accept before stopping. Mines is 2; yours is 5. Opening 10 or 100 boxes at a time (especially after all the work of getting there) and only getting 1 PEB and a few other items is just depressing.

Good idea, going to try this starting tomorrow and see if I notice any difference. Thanks for the tip.

You should. Doing things this way requires patience though. There are times when you'll open 2 to 3 boxes multiple times and get common items, but the idea is to minimize the amount of wasted boxes as much as you can.

Would have never thought of that, (again) glad you posted that tip. Haha I've had the patience of a saint this week not done one launch trying to replenish for any QL's I see this weekend.

No problem. I need to find some green qls as well.

i may try the 2, or 5 open boxes for a couple of days

1 x peb last week, probably 10 boxes each day, building now , so far 26, when i reach 40 i will open 2, no peb and then i will stop, get to 50 and i will d a 5 x open etc

i cannot compete for anything when i help out in the QL launches, coz i am running out of the big 3
