I've been nerfed! I might have to change my Avatar to something more appropriate!
Question is, is what did I write? I've been in excellent humour all morning!
I used to think it was a bad thing... now frankly as though off topic there've been some very thoughtful comments splatted I'm taking mine as a badge of honor.

Yeah, off topic doesn’t seem so thread closing awful to me, especially if it’s interesting and in good taste
Thats the most luck Ive had in playing over two years. Im blown away. Im over here trying pack after pack to get Mirror Troi, Emotion Chip Data and Enemy Lines Sisko.. without success.
Rank 1,000 is currently 400,008 points. I'm in real danger of failure. Again. Because I don't have the resources because DB cheated us. Hopefully all can be forgotten by me in an hour.
It is always at the end that these events drastically change points needed. I have been between 550 and 770 rank basically the whole time and now sit on the edge of 1000.

I’ve noticed this has only happened recently in faction events. It didn’t happen before so people are boosting more at the last minute. Might have something to do with those booster pack sales too.
EDIT: at 466K and 276 rank. I think there is a huge cluster of people from 400-450K so the boosts in that range have a huge impact on ranking. I got booted from top 1000 previous two faction events for same reason.
I used boosts and dilithium recall at the end, which was needed since I dropped close to 150 points in the last minute. Barely made it. Adrenaline is still rushing.
i floated between 9 and 15 the whole event and ended up 16. Guess there is not much of that variance at the top. I would’ve been ticked if I dropped below 25. I needed two Sato’s to immortalize. The entire event I used 3, 4, and 5 Star time boosts. Even when sleeping as I randomly wake up at night. Had Sato’s and mirror crew galore so even without skill boosts every shuttle was over 90%. Would be crazy to do that and still drop at the last hour after 4 days of boosts.

My overnight shuttles came in last 50 min bringing me to 498K VP and 191 place. All my shuttles were 90% plus unboosted.
It is clear to me now that 500-1500 has become a no man’s land where a tiny razor thin VP difference (one or two sets of shuttles) will knock you over 1000 place. That didn’t use to be the case but has been evidently so in the last three faction events... the last two where I got knocked out of top 1000 in the last hour. I don’t know what has changed because it never used to happen but it probably coincides with them selling those booster packs so I’m sure that has had an effect.
Regardless, 500-1500 has become a place where guys (like DavidBrooke above... not singling you out or criticizing) will boost and DIL recall at the last minute (aka sniping) to knock you out (or get back into top 1000 in his case).
As a “FREE WATER” guy who likes to sleep (no getting up twice each night) I don’t have spare DIL to do that and have formulated a new strategy which seems to work. Good luck to everyone else in the “new normal” of faction events.
I've never bought the booster pack and only twice recalled with dilithium. But yes, people like me doing that make it harder for others. It is a vicious cycle. I did it because others do regularly and more will do it because I did. Top 1000 is nearly impossible. I doubt I'll try again any time soon. It cost me my year-long stockpile of 4 and 5 star boosts and an obscene amount of merits in addition to about 80 dilithium. Also I spent 9 thousand chronitons leveling crew and bought a citation for Keiko. But I got Sato.

Its not your fault. It's the distribution of the prizes. This situation was plainly going to happen, and it will only continue to get worse as long as the outdated prize structure is intact.
You might think the players that quit last month because of DB's dishonesty would have helped, but I guess at least as many just went F2P, which means more competition for the free legendary from the rank rewards lol!

Me too. I'm pretty darned certain I didn't say anything mean or rude. I usually remember those

Perhaps it was merely religion based. That’s enough to be censored

Whaaaaaat
We hate you.
Just kidding. Congrats, that’s awesome.
Any update on this with 24 hours to go? Thanks in advance!

It's not much. But it's much less around the 500-1500 mark I'd warrant.

Yes, the spread around the 1K mark was crazy this time. 3 shuttles came in literally last minute for me, and boosted me from 955, to finish at 741.
My overnight shuttles came in last 50 min bringing me to 498K VP and 191 place. All my shuttles were 90% plus unboosted.

Dude, I saw your name right above mine the whole damn event! Im glad you finished one spot above me and you got the achievement. Nice work!
Thanks :-)
That’s that good ole Star Trek respect. It was your time for the glory

A.k.a. "a huge cluster#$%^"
We're all hamsters on DB's wheel...
