6m VP in phase 1 v/s 24 VP in phase 2

1:1 is the perfect ratio but we often see 1:2 for Faction/Skirmish, Faction/Galaxy, Voyage/Skirmish, or Voyage/Galaxy

1:4 for this week's Faction/Specialist event is way to one sided.

Either scrap Hybrid Events or more thought needs to be applied after events to adjust VP rates to get to more even ratio.

Someone in 1st after phase 1 playing 48 hours,. should not be caught in phase 2 by Someone playing for 2hours in phase 2.

Week 3 mega is Voyage/Specialist and hopefully most will realise it's pointless going all out in phase 1 only to be engulfed in hours in phase 2

Agreed. This event is just a resource sink, and a tedious one at that. Unless you're really prepared to throw your resources away to rank higher, there's absolutely no reason to put the effort in. Threshold and done for me, every single time. But at least it won't take long.

This beta is better than the first attempt but it's still a complete failure all round. But still better than voyage events.

Nice job fixing all the problems with this event...except for, you know, the fundamental ones that make playing the event unfun.

Bad event type continues to be bad. If you want missions to be timed, the timers have to expire together, not at random times all over the day. Babysitting **tsk tsk**. On the other hand, if it's supposed to be played as a resource sink to avoid the stupid timers, it's incredibly tedious and uninteresting.

It's still the second-worst event type and needs to go all the way back to the drawing board.

This is still a boring event. I was able to clear thresholds in about 2 hours, spending about 2,000 chrons. I see no reason to ever push for rank in this event type though, since it's a pure resource waster beyond thresholds. At least skirmish (item farming & honor), galaxy (item farming), and faction (faction item farming) events return useful stuff for your time and investment... this is just chrons down the drain.

Problem is that VP are given for monkey work, and the brain only has to be used to pass the nanoprobes screen.

Would be much better if the brain could be used to play the actual event...

All collections maxed out

Oh. My. God. The impossible happened. It actually happened!!! I have been playing since this card was the featured crew in the Gauntlet. So many other cards have come and gone. I’ve even immortalized all cards in the game released before 2024 EXCEPT for this one. And I finally got it; I actually caught my white whale!!!

Number 1000.

Data and Spot.

Took a bit of planning for months to get that to be 1000.

Making a voyage event a single phase is a good change. A two-phase voyage event seems completely unnecessary and only adds frustration to the consensus least favorite active event type.

I run out building Equipment and Retrieving Crew.
