Speculation about next week's flashback event: Fast as Light

Prime Lorca

I was going to revive the original thread, but it was closed. Here it is for reference: https://forum.disruptorbeam.com/stt/discussion/1724/key-information-about-the-event-fast-as-light-11-22-wednesday-start/p7

So far, I believe that the prevailing logic is that there will be no tweaking. It will use the old threshold of 130k VP and the old rank where only the top 1,000 get the legendary crew reward for that week. Shan, please let us know if any of this is incorrect.
Edit: Per below, the flashback event will have the new reward structure.

It seemed appropriate to start a fresh thread since there was a lot of cross conversations in the thread for this week's event. I'll go copy/paste info from the original post momentarily.

I'm curious to see how things go with the old reward structure in the new era of skirmish farming and campaigns. (Assuming reward structure is as mentioned above.) I'm sure a lot will depend on who will be the legendary reward who will be featured in the following event.

Thank you. I must have missed that somewhere.

Let's avoid speculations as it creates confusion.
This will be a flashback event, this means no new crew and as this is not a rerun there will not be the "old" crew as threshold rewards.

The rewards structure for the upcoming flashback event will be the same structure as the previous flashback event.
