The week after winning an event, of course dilithium is introduced lol
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
It's great going forward for rewards to be smoothed through the ranks and the addition of dil and more merits.
At this point in competition I think the 2/5 could be fairly awarded to top 200 or so, and 1/5 to top 1500 or farther. It takes whole lot for players to reach even top 2k now.
"Solo ranked rewards will now be identical across all types of event, including hybrid events." So if I read that right, combined with "Not only do ranks 51-1000 still get 1x 5* crew but from now on so will ranks 1001-1500!, so now for all events (faction, skirmishes, galaxies, hybrids) 50 - 1500 will get the 5* now?

Seems like it, while finishing top-1000 will net you an extra 100 dilithium, in addition to the 1/5* crew.
The original announcement has been updated, but now shows 16-25 rank for 2x 5*?
What happened to an extra 5* for sub-50?
...
😔😟
Don't think that was ever the intent. They were just clarifying before that 26-50 would be getting 1x 5* because they were talking about changes to the top 50 rewards.

There never was an extra 5* for top 50. Before editing it only said Top 50 get 1x 5*, now it says Top 26-1500.
But Shan said 51-1500 would now earn 1x5*, which implies that the next bracket up would earn 2x.
That was the main point of interest in the reward changes. Maybe it was now going to be worth pushing for a high rank again. But actually no not really.
How does this affect the 4* rewards? Are they staying the same (1001-1500 get 1x5* and 4x4*, 1501-2000 gets 3x4*, and below 3000 gets 0x4*) or have they been shifted down by 500 ranks (1501-2000 gets 4x4* and 3001-3500 gets 1x4*)?
I think it is a good change. Shame that the 2/5 didnt get extended past 25. I think if they had expanded it to 100 it would have allowed for more competition and money spent while allowing more people a chance. Overall though a positive change. Ironic thing is that a lot of people will now spend 1000 dilithium to win 200 dilithium in the event.

I've usually assumed that anyone winning a faction event already had the 5* event crew partially if not fully fused. You're already spending money to place well in faction to begin with. This at least returns a little bit of money back to the player.
Now if they would just take Scott's suggestions for Community Rewards.
Add Community Rewards to ALL Events
Keep current Rewards
Add Event Ten Pull at 1.25 Billion Points {and Ship Pack Ten Pull, if Skirmish}
Add Legendary Event Crew at 1.5 Billion Points {or Citation for Event Winner}

That is how it reads. But, DB......

There really needs to be honor points awarded as well. The balance between the amount of legendary crew and the ability to get honor points is way too far out of balance.

This would be a good start!
Not only do ranks 51-1000 still get 1x 5* crew but from now on so will ranks 1001-1500!
I will amend the communique accordingly.
Thats a long overdue step in the right direction. Well done.

General question for anyone reading this thread - how much harder would you try on each event if those merit rewards were honor instead?

@Shan so that's for new events only and not retroactive for reruns?
I will inquire about that!

Also also, are squadron ranked rewards going to remain the same or will they get a refresh?

This will apply to reruns as well.
