Clan Patrols

[SunkCostFallacy]

Firstly ... I realise that this is a post about WIP stuff, so I'm not berating WG for the minimal information.

I found this in the news this morning ... telling us that there is a new temporary activity called Clan Patrols. Apparently you get a bonus for playing them. Looking at the image (below) with it's green +nn% Star, I'm guessing that means you get a bonus to your free XP.

It's the second image which confuses me

Has there been any discussion on streams or the like which explains the 'rare drops'?

 

Cheers

I only saw the news articles about it, today, @SunkCostFallacy.  I'm also curious about the "Clan Patrol" and how it works.

This looks like your answer:

Every day, you’ll be able to earn a random bundle with four rewards (shown on the second page) by playing in a Division (to get all the rewards, you need to fight four battles in total). The rewards include Credits, signals, Oil, Coal, Elite Commander XP, and expendable economic bonuses. The bundles can be updated once a day by clicking a dedicated button. With every update, there's a chance that you’ll get a special bundle with Steel, Oil, and Distant Voyages Premium Containers. You can keep track of your progress and increase the chances of receiving special rewards by fighting more battles!

Ah! Somehow I missed that.

Thanks HH!

No problem.  I did not even know about the event in the first place and had to look, so thank you!

Clan Patrols

Update 13.11 also brings along a temporary new activity - Clan Patrols, which will be available for any clan member, so make sure you join a Clan!

Inside the special Patrol window in the Clan tab you will be able to choose one Battle Type to patrol and receive extra rewards just by playing it.

Let's get into some of the details:

• You'll be able to receive a bonus to Free XP earned in battle by participating in Patrols. Playing in a division will net you the full bonus, while playing alone will get you half of the bonus.
• Current battle types that can be affected by Patrols bonuses include Operations, Co-op, Random Battles, Asymmetric Battles, and Brawls. 
• You can switch a Battle type for patrolling anytime you like with out any restrictions.
• Division mates do not need to necessarily be your Clan mates, either! They can be from other Clans, too! 
• Every day you will be able to earn a random bundle with 4 rewards for playing in a Division (in order to get all rewards you need to play 4 battles in total). Rewards include Credits, Signals, Oil, Coal, Elite Commander XP, and expendable economic bonuses. The bundles can be updated once a day by clicking on a dedicated button. With every update, there's a chance that you will get a special bundle with Steel, Oil and Distant Voyages Premium Containers. You can keep track of your progress and increase chances of receiving special rewards by playing more battles!

More details about Clan Patrols will be available in later publications.

Thanks @AdmiralThunder.  I had found information on the Clan Patrol. 
But I'm still figuring out how it is going to actually work. 
Until I'm satisfied that I understand how things work, with some hands-on testing, I'm going to remain curious.

For example, it took me a while to learn how the Research Bureau and resettng a line actually works.
