Whatever you guys do, just don't give us chrons for this. Giving everyone chrons for a galaxy is a punishment. I would honestly rather get nothing.

I completely agree it's a punishment -- anyone playing for rank is forced to play those bonus chrons, too, or fall behind the people around them. If DisruptorBeam is going to send out chrons for this, please wait to do it until the event ends.
Or better yet, just send us all 10000 honor (sic).
Incoming blanket compensations though we're all affected differently.
Hours of planning post-phase shuttle game, void. Probly losing 150k VP from it.
That's going to cost a whole lot more in resources to make up for than whatever comp is handed out.

D'oh. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We are doing the best we can, there will never be a way to compensate everyone for their specific situation.

Agreed. But I have a solution, just compensate me.
I appreciate the actual compensation that's arriving via in-game mail now. This is so much better than sending out chrons. Thanks for doing it better this time!

I understand.
Hope DB appreciates stuff like: A day of life was altered for pre-planning the change, best missions lost due to timing, spending saved 4-5* time boosts to make up for as much of it as possible, and things.
Thanks for the voyage tokens.
It's impossible to fix all the things for everyone's different situations after the fact. I know nothing of the technical side so give the benefit of the doubt - but hopefully there's some prevention that can be done for the future.
The FIX is not working for all!!!!!
Still cant login to game. Its only Communicating with Starfleet and the Error apears with no explanation what the error is....

That is a different issue that seems to affect players based in Europe
The game is up and running on our end - there are likely connectivity issues along the routes your internet connection takes to reach us. I hope it will get resolved soon.

but at least everyone is in the same boat - my pre-planning is also ruined, losing some boosts, screwing a voyage, etc.
(oh, and for thsoe who doubt: Free-to-play, just hit threshold, rank around 100)
I give DB an A+ for this entire situation. Like somebody said on twitter during the outage, keeping a worldwide game online 24/7 cannot be easy or simple, and situations like this are inevitable. The fact that they don't happen more often and the fact that they realized this outage quickly and addressed it professionally on a weekend was exceptional.

Everyone's not in the same boat. But a bunch are. It's appreciated that DB understands it didn't impact everyone equally. Even if there isn't anything they can practically do about it. Their thoughtfulness and communication here goes a long way.
Congrats on your F2P!
Mine are grinding it, probly newer and, relying on every last bit. fingers crossed.
This event does seem light. I was 6 hours late starting and just did a standard kickstart, yet I am hovering in the 800-1100 range, depending on where my shuttles are at any given moment.
I found Lorca and Thrax quick to level, since I've been building a stockpile of key faction-only items. Between normal shuttle missions (mainly S31, KCA and Augment) and cadet challenge missions (ie: MWF are great for 2* security codes, 2* covert contacts, 2* IDIC, 0* holoprograms, 0* encoded communique, 0* science experiments), especially now that you can double-up all 6 tickets and warp them every 4 hours, you can build your inventory quite quickly. It's also great to keep a few crew slots full of crew that are levelled to ranks where you can replicate faction-only 0* items on a daily basis (ie: 0* ancient film and 0* case files).
My guess the event seems light, cause it is, because most people don't care much about the rewards. Im happy I got enough faction pts that I dont even have to bother with the galaxy event portion, and save them for something I care about:)
so was I the only one not affected by the change over? I was able to complete shuttles normally even thru the transition, maybe I shouldnt say that lol
Hey there again. After i posted yesterday, i couldn`t login to game and after that, that it works again....well....It doesnt work anymore. I can login to game via FB Gameroom, mobile (android) is unreachable (again). It has been this for last 10h or so. Hoped when i wake up, it will be ok, but its not. On mobile it just Communicating with the fleet all the time. Tried phone internet, it works, tried home wifi, it works for all apps except STT.
I am EU located, Slovenia. Android 5.0 platform.

I wasn’t either. I opened all missions before the outage and it was over before the first wave came back so I didn’t miss a beat

+1. We can only hope they learned from that mistake.
If you must, save for after the event.
