Just like the title alludes to, anyone know the current rank 1000 points?

I have far more VP than I did a few back where i placed 945. Seems quite a bit more competitive this time. Luckily for me I'm not that impressed by the gold crew and won't be killing myself to try for top 1k. I should add I ran Elite as a level 7 5* ship equals quick death. The extra 50% VP would probably land in top 1k. It is getting harder for newer players to place, they really need to reevaluate the prize tiers.
I hate skirmishes, but you don't need the bonus ship. Any fully maxed 5* ship with a decent crew can easily defeat epic.
I wish you the best of luck.
984 = 790k
I'm at 959 with 797k. Hoping to add a "useless" 5* to my crew.
No Idea of the VP I had as I was too busy clicking to check. That event was pretty brutal.
Rather stupid question from someone who has only been playing since July, but was it possible to get more than 6000 points in an epic run? And other than random win rewards, were there any alternatives for getting these? Because ~100 runs was not particularly enjoyable, and I didn't even crack the top 1000. Next time I think I may max out the individual rewards and just take whatever ranked reward that leaves me.

6k/run is the max (independent of the random bonuses)
I wish a successful run would slightly up the difficulty, ticket cost, and rewards - which would then reset back to standard after a loss. But that's a topic for a separate thread.

Yep, this is my biggest issue with skirmish. The fixed 6k/skirmish and the insane number of skirmishes required to rank. It is a crazy grind that is not enjoyable. Some people may be willing to spend the time for the random dropped rewards, but the gameplay itself I find beyond boring.
Even if you forget to hit buttons while watching TV, you usually win (I did several times and didn’t lose a single match). Otherwise it’s really boring but skirmishes require no concentration unlike Galaxy or especially Expedition which really requires you to remember which crew to put in which slot on which mission to maximize your VP per ticket.
My first event was a skirmish (Haunted Vessels), and I did so poorly I didn't even unlock the purple character. A month later, the next skirmish rolled around, and it was the first time I completed all rewards in an event. Sure it was grindy, but the fact that it was even possible was cool.
This easy acceleration also means I've since smashed into the ceiling. But I recognize that fixing this, while preserving the accessibility of these events, would be difficult. It's not hard to come up with ideas, but everything I've thought of would be development intensive.
