FTL had updated the help request system 2-3 events back, I think they mention the system is update to pickup more active players. Although we don't know how they figure out who an active player is.

My current guess is scanning, fighting boss & requesting help. Although I tried just scanning & it doesn't seem to help too much. Usually send help request gets more help request back ... that usually means you are forced to spending battle cubes fight a weaker boss from your own search & not finishing it, that usually comes back with more help request.

Basic you got to spend battle cubes to get help request; which is another way battle cubes gets drained from my account ...
