    Galaxy is now my favorite. Why? I'm not on the clock and I can get top 1000.

    Expedition is second. Same reason.

    Skirmish is painful and a very distant 3rd. Could make top 1000 but it would hurt bad.

    faction is a very very very distant 4th. Would be lucky to make top 3000.

    Newbie here :) Love the events but why are Galaxy events hated so? I like the community rewards and the supply runs are fun to me. It gives me a chance to level up other crew. Either way, look forward to it!

    I remember when I was newer to the game that I liked galaxy events the best. I could save my chronitons and do reasonably well. Thanks to the community reward, it's how I earned my first fully fused super rare crew member (Angel One Riker, two years ago).

    Welcome to the game!

    Well put on pros and cons, Dirk.

    I used to like galaxy events the most. My crew is now deep enough that I don't, but I also don't hate them. I have plenty of supplies for it and like the community rewards. It does take more of my time to hit the 500K needed for top 1000. I'm not sure I'm going for top 1000 this time, yet.

    Heads -up: there will be a slight delay before the Event Announcement and Event Packs are live.

    My favorite event is hybrid faction/galaxy. You get the faction event shuttkes but also get the community rewards. Straight factions are bad if you cannot buy packs because you will be stuck with a lvl100 3/4 clogging up your crew slots for six months or more before you can get the final star.

    Out of curiosity, would these be up by 1 pm EST or would it be later than that? I am antsy to try and put extra stars on my Warship EMA with the extra dilithium from last week’s special offers...

    Looks like they're leaving McCoy at 400k VP.

    5k and out for me. I'll take the free supply kit and premium community pack and run. Have the 4*s immortalized and galaxies cost too many chrons and cause too many repetitive strain injuries for a crappy 5*.

    That would be less bad, if they have added him to the Community Rewards. Even at 1,500,000,000

    Wow, way to listen to your customers DB and continue to have the repeat 5* out of reach of new players, you know, the ones that have more use for him.
    /s

    This. Like to see the whole thing "tightened up". Nice they added stuff, but it is out of reach for a lot of people. Best way to encourage new people is to have them feel like they have a chance. Onder how many people start this and other games, then quit in three or less months because they get discouraged.

    Short term yes. But if excessive grinding leads to player burnout, then not so much. Particularly since for a game like this, they have a finite pool to star trek fans that they can tap.

    Absolutely correct. Short-term earning is one thing. Long-term customer loyalty and spending SUSTAINS a business.

  • I’m with the majority here, it’s irritating that the legendary had remained at 400k. If I didn’t already have him 3/5 I wouldn’t bother. Or, if it was a mediocre legendary I didn’t have, I wouldn’t bother. I have enough of those at 1/5.

    Technically he's only a reward this week. He's an event character next week, so we might still get him.

    This new format still throws me.

    @Shan They have time to Make It So!!!!!!!!

    On the bright side , Borg Faction should drop what we need for his 5* to Level........

    Same for me.

    Isn't that new? Usually just the Supply Kit at 70k?

    There are two Supply Kits, one at 5k, the other one at 70k.

    Not sure, if I play much this time. I have McCoy at 3/5, but getting to 400k will be so expensive...

    People hate them because you have to spend all your resources rather than earn them like in factions and skirmishes

    Makes sense now, thanks for the clarity.
