Complete shift in my Terracore goals

I have decided to drop the idea of travelling to planets and fight bosses. It's no use with my current luck level. I have used up one item and gained nothing. Nothing. I hoped I would receive something if not a crate. Nevertheless, it was a lesson. I did pursue the wrong target

Since I would need about 4k of scrap to reach required luck levels and constant scrap depreciation, I have decided to increase my income. Let alone another 1.2k scrap for a crate for flux (at current prices).

This would also require upgrading my defence. So I plan to increase my Engineering and Defence by 2 levels and Damage by 1 level. This would require around 1350 scrap.

I hope it will increase my chances to mint crates. When I started playing I was able to mint a crate every 2 or 3 days. Nowadays it would take more than 12 days 🤷 which is insane.

What are your thoughts on ny account or my plans?
