Free Items

in General
Ingrees was the first born of the three Niantic game. Pokemon go has free boxes for players everyday. Sadly Ingress has been put in the "back seat", only a few times per year players are given free items. I have not even seen any new character badges to buy. Niantic, please give Ingrees and its players more attention.

You don't need free stuff every single day. Do you have dron over a portal?
we deserve free boxes just as pogo players, we are the ones who built the database years before pogo....OP is right not much attention to the shop at the moment, no events, no character badges etc to even look for to buy.. frackers are still overpriced and not interesting to buy..
I still don't see a reason, what do you want? Almost everything you can obtain through hacking a portal: aegis, ultralinks, adas and jarvis. There are even passcodes to farm and get freebies, but those are during events such as tesselation. On top of that, not everything in the shop is useful, for example, beacons are not, I shall remind you that they gave us plenty (with fireworks as well) around a month and a half. Whenever battle beacons are out, they will let us to test them for free 1 or 2. They even gave us APEX when they were released, honestly, what else do you want more?
Frackers? Well, I admit they are expensive but they are meant not to be use from day to day, just at events and crowds such as IFS, using frackers display a signal which can be read on intel, so you are not able to do any undercover actions.
I think it would be fine to make some good offers such as the one at 8th August and I hope they still go through that system (for niantic sustainability)
Your drone will give you free items every hour.
Pokémon GO provides a daily free item box as players under lockdown may be unable to spin a PokéStop and get items.
Ingress has the drone system to get around this where you can send your drone around and do a hack, even if you can’t leave your house.
Despite what I have said in the past about being able to add friends and send gifts on Ingress, the two games don’t need to be exactly the same.
Let's look at what would happen if we did this. You'd get something like three R4s and two X4s for free every day. That's not even worth the time to retrieve.
Id love some free cubes, lol. Having a heck of a time getting them from the drone, portals, transmuter mods, etc. Wish hypercubes werent VR...
edit: before someone cries RNG, I’ve been watching for over a week now, so much so, that I’ve thought about tracking my hacks.
You will get a bunch of Powercube Codes at every IFS Event 😅
Transmuters do not affect power cube output.
You should be receiving about 0.8 power cubes per glyph hack. And I have been keeping track of my hack output. Hypercubes are a lot less common, maybe 1 in every 50 hacks? I don't have enough data for hypercubes.
I read differing reports on different websites. So, just went with it. Regardless, seem to be on one helluva streak with lack of cubes. Maybe it’ll come around, but I’m nowhere near .8 per glyph hack.
I mean, with FS passcodes every month and drones allowing you to hack from your couch, it's still not enough free stuff??
Use a dron, is more better than 2 poors R4/X4 each day...
and u asume everyone has portals within range to send drones eh ??
Well, the game is based in portals, if you don't have any chance to get close to one, much likely you don't need many items either, perhaps just PCs.
I was mostly joking in my original post, with some hints of frustration in there as well ;)
The drone is a nice addition and definitely makes grabbing gear quite a bit easier.
We've had five years of freeloading server time. When we're solvent again, we can get free stuff.
That's where you drop your drone into a portal dense area.
