Not a big spender, but I have all of the missions 3* and 355 crew immortalized with the other 200 level 100 FE. I do immortalize the event crew every week, but other than that the chronitons keep piling up. How does everyone else use them?

This, or a skirmish, if you don't mind a slightly different type of grind.

I had that though cross my mind but the problem with this is I can't play the last few hours of the galaxy event due to my job.
In reality I use the chrons to keep pre-farming during the event, but it does give you an idea of the stockpile of equipment I've built up.
That is what I was going to say
I rarely play the last 8 or 9 hours of a Galaxy event myself, actually. And while going for the tippy-top is pretty much out of the question when you do that, I've made top 100 several times doing that.
Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

I wouldn’t worry about that. Blow your wad right away if you must. I’ve made about a half a dozen runs for first and I always run out of chrons on Sunday night. You have a set amount and four days. As long as you burn them sometime in those four days you put forth your best effort
Is that weird?
Ha! Using the son to get to the Mom? No, not at all. Been there.

If only FE crew could be saved, that I can spend crons on farming.
Its true, when trying to rank, no matter how many chrons you save up, it never feels like enough towards the end of the event;) just do your best and let the rank fall where it may!
at 1/5* :
- has 3 skills (preferably any but com, sec, dip) and
- it has as good or a little better voyage score than the top 20 4/4* and/or
- it has a great primary base skill for shuttles (top 3 at least of current crew) and/or
- it has a 700+ proficiency for one skill and 400+ on other two and/or
- it has a unique, fast firing ship battle skill
Nowadays DB failing at the very first criteria, or its voyage score is pathetic (2000-2100) and base skill is hardly higher than 7-800
I don't know I have been happy with two recent releases Rev Phlox and Elizabeth Dehner, Phlox a good alternative to Captain Beverley who will require an extra 100k in honor, and Dehner for a decent med sci skill combination and good med shuttle base. But if we go a little further back Interfaced La Forge and Emperor Georgiou as another ones I am very happy with.
I would have liked to got my hands on a professor Sato as well. but I can never seem to get shuttle events right.
8 hours? The only time I went all out in a galaxy I couldn't log in for the last 15 minutes and dropped about 400 places. Just enough to not get Mirror Troi.
Two factors can affect one's success in achieving semi-decent rank when not playing for the final hours of a Galaxy event — the first being how competitive the event is (a widely-desired Legendary obviously will boost the number of players vying for a top 1000 spot); the second (which is often related to the first factor) being just how far up the ranks you are when you quit. Even knowing that a lot of players will wait to turn in their rare rewards until the very last 15-20 minutes or so, you can still get a sense of how competitive an event is by Sunday night.
For something where people are champing at the bit trying to get Honey Bare Jadzia or some such other crew who has been high on people's wish lists (your Mirror Troi being a lesser example but still probably a much-desired crew variant for the artwork alone
For this next weekend, however, the combination of it being a rerun and Mirror Sarek probably not being hugely desired crew for a large percentage of players (moderately desired, because he's still kinda cool, but not immensely desired, I'm guessing), then it's my presumption that the overnight drop from Sunday evening to Monday at event end will not be nearly as cataclysmic. Still, if I were going for a top 1000 finish, I'd want to be somewhere in the 600s (if not a bit higher) at the T-minus 8 hours point.
Edit: One thing I wanted to say in regard to the 2nd factor, sometimes it's a lot more competitive in the lower half of the top 1000 than in the upper half. Players will often feel that as long as they've gotten a few hundred ranks above 1000, they're secure for their free Legendary, and so they won't bother to keep plugging away in order to rank much higher than the 500s or 600s, at best. But I've often found that when you get above a certain point, there is much less "congestion", so to speak, and a wider gap of VP between players in the higher ranks — which translates to: it can be easier to maintain one's rank overnight if you're in one of the higher brackets, because there won't be as many players trying to finish that high.
Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

Me too. Not quite all out, but a significant amount of effort, and more than I had in a galaxy in nearly a year. Now, especially after that, it's just not worth it.
I will say though, for me, there is no circumstance on earth that I feel it is worth it to grind out a top 25 finish, let alone first place. The rewards just aren't there, and the insane time sink doesn't pay off, I've got a trillion more important things to do.
Not to mention, the screw ups, CS service, and ROI since have drilled home just how much this game isn't worth my life.
Not answering your messages in chat, you MONSTER!
I believe she was my first event pack legendary. I had only been playing 6 months so I tried to go all in for a second star. I was in/near top thousand until the last couple of hours but just got crushed in the home stretch and dropped nearly a thousand spots.
Next to what Data said the main thing to keep in mind is the VP total tally and if you have Chrons saved up. Usually you are "safe" with around 460000 VP. Depending on your clicking speed that is makeable in around 2 hours. In case I want to make Top 1000 I try to get to that VP number or close to it at the start of the event. And I am done for the weekend...
I'm still wary about trying to do more than thresholds in a galaxy when I can't play on Monday. Mirror Troi may not have been that highly a desirable card but I still dropped from the mid 600's to 1079 in the final 15 minutes of the event.
