Shaking my head here..... Just a well meant advice towards DB, please finally start to really play ur own game and events, then it prob wouldn t have took 3 skirmish events, until you figured that something wasn t working right from the very beginning, when skirmishes were introduced.
And by just ghost editing all information that was provided in the past, regarding how Skirmishes were meant to work, doesn t build trust either.
The blog post with the Skirmish explanation was updated today in order to
1) clarify that crew must have matching traits during each Skirmish battle to earn their high/low/non-event-crew bonus
2) to make a correction: crew receiving bonuses when matching bonus crew traits do not give more hull, they can give more round-to-round hull healing
3) to make an addition: crew receiving bonuses when matching bonus crew traits do give a VP bonus from won battles.
Then you add a note of clarification to the post, not an edit/change to the original post on the sly.
Just to ask if I'm understanding the way bonus points are supposed to be calculated:
Each battle has a base VP earned.
The game checks if you have a crew with matching traits for that battle.
If so, and the crew is a Featured Event Crew x2 the base VP earned
If so, and the crew is a Regular Event Crew x1.5 the base VP earned
If so, and the crew only has the trait matching?????? (I'm unclear about this)
The glitch caused any crew with Dominion or Phlox to be considered in the same category as Featured Event Crew.

If the case is that event crew have to match a trait first, how do we know that event crew match traits? In crew selection for our ships, we only see ship ability. We can't see skills or traits!
@DealWithItJazzRiker Could we please have a definitive breakdown of how many points one should receive if you use a event ship, an event character, a low bonus event character and normal crew with and without the traits for each skirmish
If event crew that are stated in event announcements in both the forum and in game don't give the bonuses they are stated to give, then stop falsely stating that do. It just misleads players and makes DB look silly
Does rev phlox give full bonus for all five battles even though he isnt dominion and doesnt meet a trait in all five battles? If not then there would be no reason to buy packs to get him. Pretty lame for db to change the code and not tell anyone and blame us for not knowing that the code was wrong in the past skirmishes which were a brand new event. Add to that that my polywater yar is worthless after the nerf and db looks really bad. You may have been able to get away with this sloppiness before as you were the only good trek mobile game in the past but now that star trek adversaries is here I expect to see better qa and customer service from you db if you want to keep seeing my money.
The bonuses are working as intended? You say that Ru’afo does not give full bonus on the last two battles because he doesn’t match the traits. Neither does Yelgrun, but when I add him to my crew I get full bonus!
Wow this is terrible... How can you have a mega event and not count the crew that you give away as rewards for bonus? Especially when the original write up specifically stated All event crew and Ru'afo. I think you guys just don't want to own up to your mistake and that is gonna turn a lot of players against you. If you have an error and dont want to do the work to make it right you shouldn't even have the event to begin with... What I think you guys really need is to take a week off from events or maybe even two and fix some of the things that are wrong... I mean seriously you admit there is a bug... then you try to blame the players for misunderstanding what was written? I did not misread shan's post about which crew would provide bonus... and if the crew mentioned do not provide bonus it is your fault not ours... don't punish your players or cheat them cause they are your livelihood. If I had known that Phlox would have given a higher bonus, I would have used him from the start. But because Shan wrote that Ru'afo gave bonus I used him as he fit my ship battle style and fit well with my crew of choice.I spent over 2k in chrons to get intel for the skirmish and spent it all to be realized I was cheated out of a thousand points per skirmish. And one battle brought this to my attention when i finally did not receive the entire 1k as I had been through nearly all of that 2k in chrons and only received 750 all the while I was streaming this event live on youtube... You guys really sliced your credibility there... I only hope you guys can come forward before the event is over and fix the scores for those players who are actually trying to participate in your "BUGGED" event... Your misinformation helped no one and mid event copping out i am sure just made it worse... please just fix things and lets leave this behind us!!!
The code originally designed to give event crew bonus in all skirmish battles is now considered a "bug" because it broke with Ru'afo?
Future Skirmishes Events DB will ensure that each wave will have a Featured Crew with a trait for that battle to ensure that max VP is possible for every battle is achievable?
Two things you will need to make sure you fix along with this then.
Improve the interface to change crew for each battle. right now it has poor responsiveness making you click crew multiple times to select the next crew slot and then when the interface comes up the crew selection list crowds out the crew abilities & triggers?
Selected crew slot deselects when clicking ship ability slot

To be clear, I love skirmish events for bonus chrons, bonus honor, AND you can use your full crew in shuttles/voyages. This is my favorite event type.
BUT PLEASE DO NOT run another skirmish with this "bug" corrected until:
1. AT LEAST you can "favorite" crew in the skirmish crew selection screen so they show up at the top
2. BETTER - once you select crew for each skirmish mission, SAVE that crew (like you do for admiral/captain/commander divisions of Arena) so we don't have to keep re-selecting them.
This event type is already massively time consuming, PLEASE do not change this new rule forcing us to rotate bridge crew without making it easier to do!!

He does for me. I get 1000/1000/1000/1000/2000 VP with a fixed crew of Reverend Phlox, Killy, Pointy Finger Sisko and Mintakan Riker in all five phases aboard my T'ong.

Text in bold is still inaccurate/ambiguous. Testing shows that all Dominion crew does NOT give max bonus.
Rather, it seems like Dominion trait (or Phlox) works like a guaranteed trait match, but small bonus crew will still get small bonus.
