    I would be shocked if you need less that 800K. I expect a million is needed.

    1m VP is a little too high imho. Last full skirmish 1.500 cut off was ~ 700k.
    Expect it to be higher this event, but not anywhere close to 1m.

    My rule of thumb for skirmishes,so far, has been if you can do 200K per day (per 24hrs) you'll be safe.
  • I forget; does the intel cost ramp up reset in phase 2?

    Yes, it goes back to 1 and ramps back up. You will not lose any intel when the phase changes, but it all goes away when the event ends.

    Thanks. I just remember there was an event where a million was needed, but I don't recall.

    Q'Vat is probably my favorite place to do Skirmish/Arena battle.
    It is easy on the eyes.

    Beautiful.
    I like to at Starbase 12 in the Ceti Alpha system for the same reason.

    Good call!
    Also a good choice

    I like to so my battles at DS9 because there is so much action...passes by the station itself from different angles, the worm hole opening and closing, close calls with civilian ships.

    It's funny how Geordi is still strapped into that chair during the mission dialogue. If you guys are so committed to saving the prisoners, at least take him out of that thing.
    And whatever you do do not let him near any engineering panels that show the Enterprise shield modulation frequency.
    Let’s fly!
  • This is like a never ending cycle of getting chrons for farming and then intel from the farming. I've have immortalized so many characters in my backlog (including Armed Georgiou from the previous event). It feels nice to finally start clearing out some of those 1* characters, which I admit to holding since they are technically more rare than the 2*s.
  • Agreed
  • So, we're supposed to rescue the prisoners trapped aboard that Keldon class ship, right? The one we've blown up numerous times? I hope we remembered to beam them out.
  • That's become a running joke with skirmish. Last one, Archer says "can't wait to get my hands on the Ent-E, please try not to get a scratch on her", before we blew it up. 😂

    I've been thinking the same thing.

    Here’s where rank 1000 is currently.
  • Seems everyone wants that legendary....
    I know i would...😁😁😁😁

    So, do we get enough Schemes from the Thresholds for the new Ship?

    Shan already said that yesterday:

    "However this time there should be enough schematics to unlock the new ship via threshold rewards :)"

    Okay, Thanx. I did not see it. I have limited time and did not read the entire thread.

    And yet there you are - in every thread. ☺

    Ha!!! Totally caught him in a contradiction

    That, and the honor/chron rewards are simply awesome. I’ve got 866,700 VP right now (good enough for 832nd place) and have racked up 15,000-20,000 honor and probably about 6,000 chrons. The chrons has been somewhat of a surprise, since I spent 7,000 on Friday night (shopping for some Galaxy items as well as 3*/4* components I was low on) but have made 5,000 back since then (plus the thousand-ish I earned on Thursday and Friday morning)...and still have over 41,000 intel I have no way of getting rid of in the next 40 minutes.

    Okay, five minutes is way too long for one Battle to load, when people are trying to reach the next threshold!!!!!!

  • Tapped out of chrons and intel. Final score of 1.8 mil. I kinda wanted to finish in the top 100 for the achievement despite the achievement being only 2000 merit, but I did get a lot of this event.

    Congrats to Smelly for his top ranking. According to my math, he would have done around 1.5 million rounds to get his final score of 9.1 mil. (assuming 6k a round and not taking into account the bonus VP). That's impressive.

    That is the best I could see to 1000.

    Your digits are off. At 6k/round it's 1500 rounds. Even at 6,100 VP/round(assuming some random vp drops), we're talking 1,492 rounds. If it took 4 minutes a round that would mean 4.14 days playing non-stop. So either he did a lot better than 6,100/round or a lot faster than 4 minutes/round.

    Super impressive commitment.

    You can finish 1 skirmish ticket within 120-135 seconds, depending on ur connection and ship set up.

    This sounds more like it to me. I’m at around 130/140 seconds, but there are a few crew members I don’t have finished. I wish people would be careful when making projections! A small mistake in your estimate can throw everything out.

    Final rank 169 - so I overcooked that slightly, but once I saw I was hovering around the hundreds on the weekend I figured I'd keep pushing just for research purposes. So. Many. Battles. It's kind of lucky that people assume if I'm behind the counter tapping away at a pad I must be working. Anyway, good to know I can do that if I have to, but I think I'll stick to the basic threshold.

    At least when you go overboard in a Skirmish, you end up with a pantsload of honor and chrons...in a Galaxy you end up with no components and a Faction drains you of all your boosts.
