I don’t understand why you say there’s confusion on how skirmish events are supposed to work. Seems very simple to me
See the comments below your initial post. Through experimentation, I think I understand how it is intended to work, however their Big Little Greater chance(TM) language is really confusing how about something like this
"Matching the trait for the battle increases the amount of ship hull repair (if chosen), the value of the rewards (if chosen) & the amount of VP the battle returns.
No Matching Traits = Base Rewards
Matching Traits with non-event crew = +50% rewards
Matching Traits with event crew variants = +75% rewards
Matching Traits with event crew = +100% rewards
The bonuses are not cumulative, but instead, the highest value bonus of your equipped crew is applied"
Something like the above would help. That is a simple step, followed by sorting the crew list by largest to smallest bonus per battle, and indicating which of the 3 levels of bonus you get on the screen.
That is a great and detailed explanation, thank you for that.
I been pretty dense, I had no idea traits actually affected the individual battle rewards and the ship repair, I really thought it only applied to the vp bonus. So thank you for that.
This was the first time traits mattered for skirmish.
But DB made an error and Yelgrun, Reverend Phlox, and First Goran'Agar did not need trait to get highest reward and VP.
DB is going to correct that so it will matter to match trait next Skirmish.
But most people think it is not worth the effort to change crew. So they will just stick with same crew and take the lower rewards and VP.
That would be me. Like a crock pot. Set it and forget it
Make that DB’s 4 consecutive failures.....
Same offer, different 5* Crew, why different price?
She’s newer crew. That’s my guess
So now newer crew give less vip. Another stealth nerf i was unaware of?
I didn’t mean for that, I meant for the higher price. The reason for the VIP is beyond me. If it were a mistake I would they it would’ve been corrected by now
This thread seems to have run its course. People aren't contributing meaningfully anymore. Closing the thread.
On a separate note: we hear what you're saying about a number of the recent issues. There are a lot of voices giving us feedback. We're working on fixing bugs (Skirmishes, PvP rewards) and are endeavoring to improve QA processes for crew to make sure we don't have to adjust characters after they're released (Polywater Yar). It's impossible to say problems will never happen again, but we're trying to improve on our end.
For what it's worth, I'm sorry about the recent issues and our sparse communications regarding them.

I know my sarcasm is for DB, not at you
