Anyone else have 12,000 intel? I’ve run two skirmishes and just noticed I have that much. I haven’t run a single mission since the changeover to earn any. Weird.

I may be dense and have not paid attention, but don’t we normally get 2,000? Not complaining, just seems odd.
No. The non-main cast family has never counted in events feature the main cast family member. The main cast family have been included in events for the guest star to increase the bonus pool, but there is no need to increase the bonus pool when the main cast is included.
Examples:
In T'Mir's event, T'Pol was bonus. In T'Pol's events, T'Mir is not bonus.
In Lal's event, Data was bonus. In Data's events, Lal is not bonus.
In a Rihanna Mayweather event, Travis would be bonus. In Travis's event, Rihanna was not bonus.
Agreed - but I unfroze T'Mir for the skirmish and she is showing as bonus in every round
{Edit} not EVERY round - looks like she was just matching Vulcan/Telepath

I just figured it was because of the issue. But, maybe it had been accumulating since Thursday......

Check out what happens when you send out lots of shuttles at once:
Interesting that one of my shuttles is hiding somewhere as I have 8 out right now, but still cool to see so many.
Right before the phase change, I sent out 9 shuttles to exhaust my idle missions, you can see them all in this screen grab.
I've already racked up more than 5000 Honor, which was enough to get a Citation for Armus (now 4/5) and still have 50k leftover for next month's Mega 5*. Skirmishes may be monotonous, but by God, they're lucrative!
Side note: Whenever I scroll and see "chronies" used as a nickname for chronitons, I misread it as "Crohnies", the nickname we use for folks with Crohn's disease. I get a flutter of excitement that there are others like me on the forum, and then it's dashed as I realize my mistake. Hasthag sad.

Mom was a Crohnie. I probably am, as well. Just no way to see a doctor just yet. But, going through all the stuff she went through her last few years. I will adjust the nickname, for you.

Also, I am still pulling away on our race to having 500 unopened portal items even though I haven’t bought a deal in ages and claimed all my available shuttle boost packs and 10x basic pulls:
There is a race?
I just cashed in some single basic pulls, good for some cheap honor and some base components while I am in build phase.
I am quite proud of my message queue. Some of that is unclaimed collection rewards.
Didn’t know there was a race. But looks like I won

So hey, just ballpark figure, how many VPs might I need to be reasonably sure of making the 1500 cutoff for a Spock? Because I'm watching my chron stock slowly creep up and remembering last time I went all in on a skirmish and came in at rank 100-something, and I'd really love to be significantly lazier this weekend.
800K is the going rate these days. Give or take 100K depending on the weekend. This weekend will be Memorial Day for the USA.
that sounds like a full skirmish event no? I'd think a hybrid would be less..
Agreed, but the top players are putting up 300K in 2 days of Factions, and at least 400K in two days of Skirmish. So the 800K is probably still the ball park.
I am already at 1M VP and people are not slowing down (Rank 200)
I did finish at 300K+ at phase change.
Wanted to comment that this is the first Hybrid Skirmish event I've really enjoyed in a long time. Normally, I'm struggling to click on the proper icons, my vision gets blurry, and sometimes I even doze off during a battle. However, this event has been more fun.
Strategy:
1. During Faction phase, just focused on scoring as high as I could without using any 3* Time Boosts, 2X multipliers, or Requisition shuttles. Saving all of those for a proper all Faction event. By Saturday night, before phase 2 start, got up to about 160000 VP.
2. During Skirmish phase, used my new favorite ship... D'Kora Krayton. Loaded it up with the following crew: T'Kuvma (Immediate 375% Damage), Borg Queen (Immediate 325% Damage), Scientist Degra (Immediate 150% Damage), and Saboteur Garak (Immediate 400% Damage). During battles, I wait for 10 seconds to pass.
3. At the 170 second remaining mark, I press all buttons at the same time. What you next see is amazing... the Krayton fires on all cylinders. Plus, the EMP gives you immediate damage, and the blue button repairs any hull from previous battle damage. It's a cool graphic.
I'm currently sitting at about 494000 VP in 1623rd place, but I don't expect to get Spock; I'm just enjoy watching the Krayton fire all weapons. Thanks to all in the forum who recommended the D'Kora Krayton for skirmish!

Skirmish isn't really about doing well in the Skirmish event itself (that's just a welcome side effect) and more about filling your storage with items for Galaxy events or leveling your crew, free honor for the next legendary citation, credits for the time portal, trainers for the replicator...all that is mostly free during Skirmish, as long as you can burn all the intel - so every hour spent skirmishing is beneficial for everything you want to achieve in the game.

But I battled through it, and the resulting chron shower.
Life is hard.

The shrapnel flies everywhere.

Chronies spent during Skirmish: 480
Final Chronies after Skirmish: 2,260
1,089 - 480 = 609
2,260 - 609 = 1,651
Chronies earned in Skirmish: 1,651
I'll take it. Finished out my Threshold at 183,978. Was hoping to hit 130,000 for Third Star on T'Pol of the Sands......

I concede....wow!
I've guessed wrong the past 4 times. I can't imagine it less than 600K in a hybrid, but my guessing track record is not good.
it looks like your voyager somehow crashed into and fused with the Pepsi Concorde
I think its will be slightly higher.
