This was unbelievable. 625,000 and I didn’t even crack top 1600.
I had to burn every shuttle token I had... and without being a squad leader and my bonus 100k VP from that I don't think I would have placed either... crazy stuff
Got quite rough in the end. I lost 200 ranks in 24 hours, but I only did normal 3h shuttles and 9h overnight in the last two days.

I was 855 due to some last hour gold time reducers. My final points were around 660 to 670, I believe. I was top 1300 when I woke up, but my overnight shuttles, 4* time boost shuttles, and final 5* boost shuttles helped. Looks like they were needed.
Was ranked approx. 1083 just before 16:00 (UK time - event finishes 17:00) so sent 4 more out with 4* time reducers to try and finish top 1000. Forgot to bring them back in time but wasn't bothered as thought top 1500 was guaranteed. Finished 1512. Crazy. Gutted

Sorry. I've ben there. One event, I fought hard and even recalled with dilithium one minute before time was up, but one of my shuttles was not successful and I was something like 2 or 3 ranks off. Since then, I've tried for wider margins.
I wanted the Ba'ul so I went all in this event. This was my first time trying for more than the 130k VP mark in a faction event. I was aiming for under 1500. I may have overshot a bit.

Bylo was keeping me posted on your progress. Way to go!! I’m happy for you!

I was right behind you, figured being top 1000 with a little over an hour to go would be fine. Ended up having to use DIL to stay in the top 1500. At one point I was dropping easily 5 ranks per second

Hehe, we were in the same boat. I was hovering at 1200 and started boosting my way down in rank to 650. Then was trying for top 200 with a little cushion but somehow ended close enough to 75 to go for it last night. When so many were using extra shuttles and boosts it was exceedingly difficult to know how many points were needed for the rank desired or how many extra shuttles people would use at the end so you kind of had to just throw in as many as you could and see where it got you.
Didn't even notice what my VP total was, but I ended at #402. I used around 30 shuttle requisition tokens, a dozen 2x multipliers, and no idea how many time reducers. A fleet mate said he used around 120. I don't think I burned through quite that many, but I could be mistaken.
I had a lot of failures for 95%+ shuttles, including at least one at 98%. There were several waves where more failed than succeeded. I've had a lot of good luck for awhile, now. Maybe 5% or so of my shuttles in any given event have failed for as long as I can remember. This time, it was surely closer to 15%. To be clear: I do not believe there was any kind of monkeying on DB's part. I was just overdue for some bad luck and it caught up with me. Managed to overcome it, though, and making bridge crew scenes with Armus and Ba'ul has been amusing enough to justify the effort.

It was a tough and competitive event and even tougher when high percentage shuttles fail. Good on you for keeping at it and getting what you wanted.

I can sympathize. 4 weeks ago on Faster Future, I ended up 1564. Factions are still my worst event type.

Top 75 was 968,243
Yeah, crazy event. Everyone had extra shuttle tokens to burn. I ended up at 59 but I used up a lot of shuttle tokens and boosts.
Sorry about the lateness of my reply. Yes full starbase and achievement bonuses.
Cool thx. I figured it probably was full bonuses. Gonna try to immortalize him cause of his cool stats and cool looks.

Thanks. Sorry for when it happened to you too. I was mainly surprised as I usually finish comfortably in the top 1500 but this event was just nuts

Thanks for the info. I've never seen such a swing in rank outside of a Galaxy event 😳
