Still in the top 100, thanks to shuttle tokens, as Saturday I was out dancing like a mofo til 3am, so apart from doing a few 3* boosts and doublers in the morning, the rest of the day was using time triplers, and Sunday had an evening out with the wifey, so just boosted some extra 3hr shuttles.
Got 15 shuttles left to come in, 11 of which are due in a couple of minutes after the event finishes because I'm an idiot and miscalculated with the clocks going back an hour in the UK, so will prolly speed them up with dil rather than let them go to waste.
Should finish in top 100, with a very small chance of top 50, which best I've ever done.
Cost me 102 shuttle tokens though, but it's nice being able to fire out 15 at a time with even the lowest being north of 70%
Hopefully not the last Disco faction event as, if I've nothing else on, next time I may have a crack at really going to town on the event. Not a chance of getting first, but maybe top 25 or 10 if the 5* is rubbish!
Just need to refill my token and bonus supplies, so I think for the next few weeks I'll be back to doing ad-warp doublers on a Thursday.
This one was definitely hard-fought. I only failed 4 or 5 shuttles the entire event, used every speed-up, doubler, and token I had, and am in the 1900s with 545k points.
Finished at 53, which while a new personal record, is annoying, because I wanted to finish in the top 25 or, at a minimum, top 50 so I could get that achievement. I used almost 100 rentals and just missed it; it all feels like a waste.

That happened to me too a couple of events ago. Hang in there!
After I calmed down a bit, I think the experience still had a positive benefit, because now I have an idea of exactly what I have to do to get into the top 50.
Now if I decide to go for it again, I have a better idea of the resources I need before I start, and how much I’m going to have to play over the weekend.

54 here, which I'm pretty happy with.
With the 10x and 7 cards converted to honour, I'm now less than 10k from another 5* cite
I dropped 240 spots in the last two hours. I burned all my time boosts and regular 2x, plus all my bonus shuttles. Not complaining, I really wanted that Honey.
I thought I'd get away with just using ~3 shuttle tokens, but ended up using five and one of my reward doublers aiming for top 1000. All ~35 rare time boosts gone, plus a few two-star and one-star, too. Even then, I missed by over a hundred places - my worst ranking since they updated the rewards system, just over 1100.
But the threshold pack gave me my first star on Away Team Burnham, I got the second star for Honey Bare, one of the three single portals for top 1500 gave me a begold for the third star on Mirror T'Pol, and the 350 merits got me first place in Gauntlet and a fourth star on Locutus! So it's also been one of the most 'rewarding' events for me!

Thanks. I'm not so much mad, as low level annoyed that I didn't get the mark(s) I was aiming for. The real problem is it will take me about two months to rebuild my rental stockpile to make another run some time. And I doubt I'll be as well positioned with available crew. But, oh well, that's why it's a game.

Just remember, when you're that well positioned in a mega, so is everyone else. Your best bet is when you have a bunch of bonus crew but they're not as common so less people have the crew.
I'm irked at wasting a bunch of resources (rental shuttles, 3*, 4* and 5* speed boosts) over the last 12 hours of the event, just to finish in the top-2000 so I could immortalize and freeze Soong, since I wound up getting a copy of him on my very first post-event voyage! The worst part is that it was a duplicate copy I was worried about freezing... silly me!

Second Star to the Right - Join Today!
Was it not this weekend? Son of a monkey!!!!!!!
Came 1450ish...
Good thing the gold is not top 1000 anymore!
If u were located in europe you did it all right. Clock change was past weekend already.
I was on top of it. Got all clocks in the house and everything.
I lost an hour of library time, so I won't be able to finish the Campaign chores today.
If you're careful with ads and use one on a second scan, you can complete all daily tasks in 3 hours.

There are no ads. I'm on Facebook. It's okay. I got past forty already, so FFed my Critter.

Which got me the 4th star for Soong.
