Adaptation does NOTHING to Affect Mission Rank (211 data points and counting)

I’ve achieved tons more s ranks from 50% and below than my 150% dispatches. I usually get B rank with 150%, it makes no sense. I just stopped caring after awhile.

Same. I’m up to level 30 with my Stronghold, got different pets for adaptation, have many dispatch members Epic and above, grinded tomes for additional adaptation. Lots of time, resources, and some RL money for effectively nothing.

So, the last 7 dispatches I sent were empty ships with 0% adaptation. 3 came back B, 3 came back A and 1 came back S. There is NO WAY adaptation actually affects the outcome right now.



Here is a good Example of adaptation clearly not working correctly. 146% adaptation and B result. if this is working as intended, can we get clarification has to what the point of adaptation impacts on missions?

yeah it’s weird, there needs to be a breakdown of how this works. So many B ranks from over 100% adaptation

Yeah, it would be nice to get some clarification. Finally had my account long enough to post pictures. Hopefully the graphs will help everyone understand quicker what I’m trying to whistleblow here, haha.

@Roxx Could we get some clarification on how adaptation work? Is it suppose to increase the chance at higher rank completion? Is it suppose to only increase the amount of loot we get from whatever rank we achieved?

The amount of loot you get is based only on the Seal:Hour ratio beforehand and the ranking of your mission at the end. Consistently it is B 100%, A 120%, S 150% + the tradable items for seals. So yeah, getting confirmation on what adaptation does would be good!

Seems pretty obvious to me that adaptation is just as fake as honing chances. Maybe they just programmed the last one and copypasta to the first.

i have put quite a bit of resource into my dispatch crew and can frequently do 150%. Recently nearly all my crews come back B rank. something is definitely wrong

Has anyone noticed if this has been fixed yet? still feels bugged.

Still no fix, still no answer from the Devs. This issue was flagged in KR and is still not fixed either. Doesn’t look hopeful lol.

From my experience adaptation means how much your ship gets damaged when it returns from mission… If you have 150% adaptation it should be intact.

I had B rank results with adaptation 150% and SS rank result with adaptation 43% so it’s not linked to result like at all, probably another botched translation.

Even if that was the case which I think people would have noticed, that is def not what it tells you ingame. It only mentions have a higher chance at higher rewards.

Yeah where does it say higher adaptation = higher rank? I’m confused.

The issue is, that rewards are tied to Rank. So if high adaptation = high rewards (it doesnt but ingame it says it does) then one assumes that adaptation raises the rank. It’s just putting two and two together. Except there isn’t anything to put together cause it just seems to do nothing at all. Not even higher rewards for same rank. At least not visible anyways.

Was just coming to report something similar after getting rank b with 150% adaptation - glad to see it has already been reported. Not shocked to see that it has received zero response.

@Roxx can we please get some attention here? Topic includes actual research about a potentially broken feature in game and did not get any attention for over a month. If that is a case the bug affects every player’s horizontal progression speed.

Was this ever reported to/looked at by the devs?

Maybe @Centeotl knows?

They had an analysis of like 1000+ data points on the KR boards back over a year ago.

Smilegate didn’t say shit back then. No surprise Amazon doesn’t say anything.
