Anyone know the points for rank 1000 at the moment?

Best guess near 520000
Getting into top 50 has been a tedious grind. I would have quit this event on Friday if I hadn't gotten off to such a good start, but I won't stop now that I'm this far in.
Congratulations
Thanks man. I’ll certainly take the ranking dive for that!
Fortunately I only need to be in the top 3000 to meet my goals for this event, but I still felt like an idiot.
Also he didn't macro, he used the advantage of fresh pumped oxygen inside a casino, at a table that offered him food and beverage delivery, a power plug, a girl that comes around every few hours and gives a back and shoulder massage for 20 mins, and every 3 minutes he has to say "check, fold, raise".
Also his graph shows he slept. Which he did, because he's human.
Someone in the top 15 didn't macro, but admitted to account sharing in one of the fleet chat rooms - when he went to sleep or had something to do, he handed his iPad to his roommate and the roomie played the event - so account sharing is something you can't account for like a macro, but it happens.

Thanks frank, that summarizes my weekend pretty well.
I actually got more sleep than I thought I would, was ready to try it with only 8-10 hours of sleep in the middle of the event if needed, but luckily I was able to outscore the 2nd place guy a lot when we were both playing and build the lead up enough to get 4-6 hours of sleep Friday through Sunday nights
I deliberately tried to land there, had to take some hull damage so I could repair instead of risk 300vp the last few skirmishes and then run two battles the last skirmish at 500 and not 1000 to land there evenly.
Nah, Paladin just has finesse. He had to finish in ones and zeros so even the macros could understand how badly he beat them
I spent about 40k dil total in the event though that including refreshing starbase contributions for holoemitters twice the first four days. So about 38k on the 10 dil refreshes and a couple 20s if I clicked too fast.
Only dropped 7k chrons over the event and probably got 3k from voyages, so only about -10k chrons due to all the reward boxes.
VP wise they probably only added about 5% or less to the score

150k honor and 25 million credits.
My personal best out of all events I've done so far! Quite proud.
I didn't play much on Sat. cuz had work and was extremely busy. It was a grind as I was aiming for a 1k finish and it was a complete grind the whole way, but I'm very pleased with what I accomplished despite the DB Rufeegate scandal.
Guess you gotta play consistently the whole event, like @Paladin21. Would've like to be like him, play poker and do this event the whole weekend. Congrats bro! And amazing on the 50 million points.
Wow! That’s a TON of honor!
So I had decided they were worth it for me before the even started. I probably got 60k extra chrons from them and 60k of the honor from the bonus ones. For $400 usd of dil its bettter than 40 of the 9.99 chron pack. Plus the extra VP translated to more sleep.
I noticed that after the first claim there is a small delay before the button that lets you continue on starts working, buying the 10 dil one can be done in the delay.
Most of my my criteria involved if I was able to get it clicked In that period or not, if not I moved to the next battle. I think I maybe bought it for 2/3 of my chances, which came close to keeping me chron neutral.
I started out with 15,000 dil. I bought the 10 dil bonus after every single battle. The results are above. When I finished I had exactly 1 dil left
