I liked it better when there were less thresholds 😖
I dont mind the thresholds. Wouldnt mind them extending even further. I just would put the legendary lower. If DB didnt like 100,000 then maybe 200,000 or 300,000. Maybe try different amounts. You got to balance people trying and spending vs. people giving up and find the right balance.
Yes sorry I was unclear, just meant the 5* should be lower

I had to use Dil (which I never do), but I got there. (400K VP)
I have to say it is pretty lonely up here (100 Rank), so this event was quite the challenge.
This will end up being by far my best faction event finish. I’m at 398k right now which is good for 243rd. I did a quick start, have burned through about 50 3* time reducers, and send the doublers overnight. I had a tough start but once I got all my crew back from a voyage etc I was able to find a groove and see what crew I needed to be successful and have been sending shuttles in the 75-85% range probably hitting success at about the rate.
I also got my 3rd star on KDF Gowron and The Keeper from a behold from the threshold pack, so all in all I’d say pretty successful.
I’m not going to use any more reducers today and just send them out normally. No need to burn any more of my stock which is down to 6 now.

My experience matches yours almost exactly, down to the threshold pack, which got me a fourth star for Desert Philippa and a fourth star for Mama Horta. High five!
I am finding this event quite tough. I have had lots and lots of failed shuttles. I haven't quite hit my threshold pull yet... I am doubting whether Garak is achievable.

I have a bunch of saved time boosts, but this time I've been using skill boosts over time boosts. I cannot get a high enough score with time boosts, but have a bunch of saved skill boosts from when I've been doing time boosts. I've been maintaining about place 500. I expect to get Garek later today.
I will probably reach 400K with less than 12 hours to spare. I wish I had modified my kickstart to land on VP=3500 and used 3* time boosters on those, but ... que sera sera. 🖖🏻

Why, they didn t took anything away, they just added extra stuff for ppl reaching higher VP.
400k is still very doable for free, if u really want to and if not, no big deal as well.
Agreed. I'll be clearing thresholds with 12 hours to spare, having only used 11 x 3* speed boosts as part of my kickstart. With 3* skill boosts, my 4 shuttles have been going out at 95%, 92%, 90% and 90%, without missing any waves of shuttles even overnight (I was an hour late sending shuttles overnight twice). I haven't used any rental shuttles or dilithium.

Nice! Right now you’re ten spots ahead of me. Good stuff. Now I’ll have to stockpile for the next faction event I end up going for it in. This one didn’t start that way but when I’ve stayed at a high rank I decided to just keep plugging.
Sorry if this has been answered, I haven't found it.
But there is a faction winner bonus this time (as it says in the event notes)? Even though it's a re-run?
There should be, yes!
We believe we have identified the issue and circumvented it *fingers crossed*.
Might this have resulted in the "Event not complete" error?
I hit my PB in this event ranking 53, wanted to get sub 50 for the extra achievement but c'est la vie won't do this in a while again - if ever, there are easier ways to get 2k honor.

Mine says "An error occurred on the server. Please try again. - Event not complete."
Yeah, you're not alone.
Me too.

Instead of messing up the beginning of an event Do Better have messed up the end.

Where I live, the joke is on you if you make an April Fool after midday.
I didn’t see any errors but I also do not see a bonus for Augment shuttles.
Nice. I had my best event finish at 242. After almost two years of playing finally cleared the top 500 and top 250 achievements.
Top 100...may take another two years to clear that one.
Awesome! Congrats everyone!
