Just wondering how all your expiditiopns are going. Since about the last update, Mine have gone downhill in a massive way, to the point I just lose ships to pirates and lose time to "miscalculations". Rarely do I ever get anything worthwhile now.
Is it just my bad luck? or has the loot from them been nerfed at the last update?
Your thoughts?

There are persisting rumors about expedition results changing, but the staff attribute things to random chance. Personally I haven't lost much, save for a few dozen HF occasionally with alien attacks, but the rewards seem to have gone down when I do find things.

The chance of pirates have definitely gone up, and the rewards I take away from successful expeditions have definitely gone down. Luckily for me though, I haven't been getting the "it'll take you 20+ hours to get home" result lately.

Luckily for me though, I haven't been getting the "it'll take you 20+ hours to get home" result lately. The it'll tajke 20 hrs to get back home doesn't worry me. It's the your gonna lose more ships to pirates than anything you get to make up for it that annoys me. Having said that, I have never put any thought into what ships I send on an expidition, it's just something to do when I don't have time to do anything else. At least I was gettin some ships added, and some DM and a little loot, with the occasional Pirate attack. But, and I may be having extreme luck, I wud say I'm gettin hit by pirates about half the time, the rest is split up into, finding quaint pets, miscalculations and a little bit or res. Quite frankly, I have more pets than I can poke a stick at(not that I would, if your RSPCA), and I'm just losing a few too many ships. Maybe I need to work out better fleets to send rather than just whats sittin around.

Me neither, haven't sent one for more than 2 months...
But when I do, I usually send ships in next formation/ratio: Heavy fighters 20 Battleships 10 Bombers 5 Battlecruisers 8 Large cargoes around 30
Worst loss was to alien encounter, 1 Battleship, 5 Fighters and 8 Cargoes. Few minor battles with pirates, no significant damage.
