    I don't mind the grind of either galaxy or skirmish, but I definitely find ship battles easier to do with less attention. Probably because all the buttons are in the same place, and it really doesn't matter which ship I'm fighting. In galaxy, every once in a while, the top option isn't the best crew to pick, and so I need to pay more attention to which recipe I'm building.

    But yeah, watching TV is a perfect way to grind out a bunch of points. Maybe not 150K/hr levels though ('cause of distractions), but it works.

    Now that I’ve seen the Scimitar in action through the event I have to say, it still really looks awful. Seriously, I’ve been looking forward to the day they put the Scimitar in the game since I started playing and now that she’s finally here, I don’t want her because she just looks like crap. Who’s idea was it for her to fly around in battle with the tholeron radiation wings split apart anyhow? Terrible idea. Terrible execution. Sorry, but it’s true.

    Why is it so white?

    Why so Racist?

    My God, Karen! You cannot just go around asking spaceships why they are white!!!

    The Scimitar almost looks unfinished to me...like a model that someone put together but then neglected to paint.

    Still something fishy going on with event ranks, I've been essentially going non stop since the start and have managed 150k and there's already someone above 400k

    I clear battles quick so I just do not understand how it's legitimately possible

    It’s not yet out of the range of humanly possible. The event has been going on for 3 hours. I am able to complete a round of 5 in 2 min 30 seconds. Assuming 6000 VP per round, without any reward extras, it is conceivably possible in those 72 available rounds that someone has been playing nonstop for 3 hours and broken 400,000. And probably is going slowly bonkers.

    It is also possible that that is a macro; If that persists past the point when we would expect a human to have to eat/pee/sleep/whatever, eyebrows should be raised.

    23 hours in, the currently 1st ranked player has accrued 3,382,000 VP. At ~6500 VP per round, that would be nonstop play of 2.65 min/round rounds for 23 hours. Eyebrow now slightly raised.

    You can keep raising it, I'm going to keep pushing like my life depends on it.
    That rate makes sense since they're under 2.5 min each when on the ball.
    It was something over 3,500,000 at 24h in.
    Yes, pretty much nonstop. Right now in fact.
  • it is more like the one from another Star Trek game. While I always thought it was more black/stealth in design, it was actually more "camera work" to keep it in the shadows, likely because of the Reman nature of always being in the dark.

    I agree it should be darker though...

    :-). I didn’t commit to whether raised in suspicion or raised in awe.

    Edit: oh wait, I just connected the dots that you’re the #1. Ok, it’s in awe.
    Accepted. Mark them, Galt.

    Sorry to have assumed wrongly/one way or the other.
  • Is there any collected data about the chances to get the various items from the Bonus Reward boxes in Skirmishes? Is there supposed to be the same chance to get, say, Credits and Chronitons? Might be a little harder to collect based on the different difficulty levels (though I imagine most contributors would play on Epic), but what about within a category: is it, say, 10% for the highest credit reward, 25% for the middle, and 65% for the lowest?

    Drop rate information is cleverly hidden within an info button/icon after you have selected a bonus reward. Like everything in the recent update, you have to scroll to see it all 🙄, so I put it all together in one image.

    And of course, like any random system, rewards can be very streaky. I have gone nearly an hour in Skirmish battles without getting any chroniton drops, and other times, I've gotten like 1000 of them in a 15-20 minute span.


    Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

    Just out of interest posting this to see how much I drop in P2 when the pay2win part kicks in........
  • Thought the second part of this event was Faction?

    Thought the second part of this event was Faction?

    I also thought that
    PlayingSince: 2016-09-16Can we get some more characters from TAS?We finally have Caitians in the game!Character wishlist:
    • Lieutenant M'Ress - got her
    • Amanda Rogers - got her
    • Admiral S'rrel from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home - not in the game yet
    • Agmar - not in the game yet
    • M'yra - not in the game yet
  • PHASE 2 NOT WORKING
    Supposed to be Skirmish/Faction, instead it's just more Skirmish!!!
  • Legate Damar Legate Damar ✭✭✭✭✭
    Big time fail.
  • KanonKanon ✭✭✭✭✭
    Oh god, yeah, a Skirmish phase started, and the story dialog is also the same from phase one... I have zero hope this will be fixed soon...
  • FlemmingFlemming ✭✭✭✭✭
    Restart did not help
    Intentionally Left Blank
  • Odo MarmarosaOdo Marmarosa ✭✭✭✭✭
    i really fought to come in at about rank 1000 at phase change hoping to pick up the rest during faction. ugh...

    if it remains skirmish I can work with that because I still had intel

    if it goes to faction I hope it's soon because this is the only time I have to do a jump start.
  • Doesnt work indeed. No factions but skirmishes wont start either.

    WTH?! I’m totally sick of the skirmish after the stupid grinding for two days. Was really looking forward to getting factions going and getting on with my weekend!!

    Edit: And now it turns out it throws an error when you do try to start skirmishing again (no time). Ugh.
  • Same here. I can select a ship but then get an error. Restart doesn't help.
  • Yep. Same problem here too

  • Top 1000. Just give me my Brexton and I have some idea how should I spend the next two days.
    Thanks.

    Oh god, Braxtongate. I just don't know if I have it in me, LOL.

    Another day in the life.

    If it stays skirmish we gonna have us some epic VP scores :smile:
    Accepted. Mark them, Galt.
  • There's no storm in Sharon MA yet; so they can't blame it on that.

    Dude, you know this mean Braxton for everyone (I hope is not Troi 'cause I just bought the citation and FF her)

    The Scimitar looks terrible. At least from what I can see in its profile. I hope it doesn’t look like that when fully built. Did the people making it actually watch the whole movie? Because it’s wings were folded together perfectly for like 90% of the time. The only time they spread apart like that was when it was turning into a radiation weapon. So it doesn’t fly around looking like that. Can anyone tell me yet what it looks like when constructed?

    It only spreads out it's wings when it goes into battle. Flying around it looks normal.

    Oh thank God. Thanks for the screen shots. She looks good with her wings normal. Also, can DB please fix the event so we can actually play the faction portion?
    Weirdly enough, I’m also Vulcan Housewife. Also, RNGesus hates me, like really, REALLY hates me.

    Same here. I'm currently 1244th place and I'm loaded on bonus crew for this one. I could have easily pushed into the top 1k, had this event not fallen off of the rails
