I got a nice looking Zapf with today's pack and today's pack adds 135 fans to the total. This brings the total fans to over 4000 and I am targeting 5000 fans by March. Highly dependent on the type of cards that I get.
The maximum starbits per mission seems to be stagnant or it doesn't move by much with fans added. Maybe around 10 or 20 starbits. In terms of levels, I am still on level 56 and the climb is considerably slower now that I am focusing on missions instead of lessons.
Another approach I am thinking of is going and getting an Epic from the market. Would be under 20 Hive which is a decent price in my opinion. More liquidity needed in the secondary market in my opinion.
