Yup. This actually happened.

At the higher ranks the extra 1k XP from the comprehensive training XP doesn't do much. The 3 sessions are better spent fine tuning stats. As for the odds, sucks you need all 3 stats to clear flagged missions, but that is how the system currently stands. As for RNG for normal missions, its a fixed 100/75/50/25% success rate based on individual stats from what I can tell. Nothing you can do there either. My WVR spec has 1k in Craftsmanship and near that in Control and CS II and HT still give the same 80% success rate that was there in ARR.

But if you actually add up the total stat requirements for crystal recovery you need 980 total across the board, 315 + 325 + 340= 980 and MihaelB has 1024 total, 330 + 324 + 370= 1024.

When does "across the board" count for anything? And why would you expect it to here? A point of physical is not a point of mental, nor is either a point of tactical. They're three *different* stats.

For the game to determine that squad isn't ready despite the glaring fact Mihael is over stated in 2 categories, is something that needs to reconsidered.

Why should it treat only being over the requirement in just two categories the same as being over it in all three? That would kind of wipe out the whole point of them.

Tuning is something you do that doesn't require a RNG based boost,

what RNG? match all 3 stats, they are all required.

Guess what, my squadron failed that mission. My squadron needs a new master, I don't want them anymore

You need to meet all 3 stats, don't do it if you don't meet all 3, rank up missions aren't like regular missions.

I wanna fire my Sergeant and hire a cute male Au Ra to be my secreta--sergeant.

It's weird if with that level the stat still not met requirements. 20 Tactic should go to mental imo.

Are they all randomized? Because mine's is an old elezen and I see another person from a previous post with a Roegadyn when we're both in the same GC it seems. I'd like to switch him if possible, too

You can't think of it as a complex system. It's not even like normal stats we see on gear, from what anyone can tell. The numbers you see for Squadrons are simply a "do you meet the requirements?" type of thing. If no, then you essentially lose 1/3 likelihood of success per stat that is not met. With rank up missions, just based on the text provided, you can only assume harsher penalties for not meeting the required stat. As in, either significantly lower odds (e.g. 30% success at most) or just outright impossible to succeed (i.e. 0% success chance). Any excess stats just won't matter, since the idea is that you have to adjust the bonus stats based on mission reqs.

I'm in the Flames and got a big old Roegadyn. He's cool and all, but I would rather a cute male Ra. In my RP he plays straight man to my character's eccentricity in dealing with my squadron, and my character is always trying to get him fired, so it works as is. But switching would be nice :P
