80 arena battles?

I see they changed the achievement requirement from space to arena battles. We have 14 days to do 80. 14x5 = 70. I guess it's not insane but it's the most onerous requirement we've seen so far.

There is nothing to this achievement, just a few button pushes per battle, and you can eat your dinner whilst doing so.
how many achievements have taken a minimum of 8 days and most likely 12 or 13 to finish before?
It's a way of increasing honour debt and/or;
1. Selling a DYC.
2. Selling more crew slots.
3. Selling honour.
4. Selling advertising.
They are not the harmless 'gift' they appear to be. A gift would be 5/5 4/4 3/3 2/2 or 1 star.
Like, a lot of them? The temporary achievement for the USS Roddenberry that ended last week finished a day earlier than announced and meant that a bunch of people didn't get the final tier because they were doing the minimum.
These are meant to drive engagement (and sales, as Osiris somewhat cynically pointed out). If they wanted to give us a freebie, they would just drop it in our inboxes. I don't think having to work a bit for a 4/5 Spock is a bad thing.
(I wouldn't mind a 5th Spock or legendary citation as an apology for the incorrect info though 😜)
I remember quite a few, and as robownage said, including the last one which many people did not finish.
The shuttle missions is actually more onerous than the arena battles, even though we have a shuttle event this week.
I enjoy playing this game, which is why I am still here after four years. We are getting a free crew member, so lets level him up, and play the game with him.
The ship battle schematics thing? That could have been completed in less than 30 seconds. I must be thinking of something else?
I'm just observing that this achievement will take me about twice as long in days as any achievement has before that gives out stars for a character.
Last year it was this for 7 days:
Tiers 1: 30 battles - get 200 Dilithium
Tiers 2: 70 battles - get 400 Dilithium
Tiers 3: 100 battles - get 2x 10-pack premium
So, regardless, you were done in 7 days. And, yes, I stopped at 70.
The shuttle missions I believe have always coincided with a shuttle event - meaning you are done in less than 7 days.
14 x 10 = 140.
You can do more than enough for free.
I always do all ten free Arena battles. Saves Chronitons on the do twenty space battles a day Daily.
This. Ten FREE Arena Battles and one ten times Space Battle to get something for someone you are leveling is the twenty Space Battles a day.
At the end of the day, as you say, it’s a freebie and therefore very welcome. They just want us to play more Arena I guess.
For me these are easy "TO DO'S" to get a great card that will have some good uses.

Yeah that one was a breeze. I got them to ninety and that took care of most of that Achievement right off the bat. I had a few others I jumped Ten Levels to more than cover it.
Not if all of your crew is leveled. I imagine some veteran players will find this one a challenge. They will have to wait and level the event crew.

Usually, this is exactly how I handle the level-up achievement targets, but this time I looked at the 200 target and said "nope, I want another star for iSpock sooner than that", so I did the same thing Kanon did.
Scott, you are a veteran player and whenever I see a screenshot of your crew quarters, it gives me a headache. 🤣
And all achievments can be easily done. 🤗
If u wanna rush the arena battles, just buy extra tickets for 150 dilithium.
Level crew? Even for veteran players u get plenty of crew via voyages,
90k credit pull, event thresholds, event rewars, and so on….no issue at all.
Doing 10 arena battles takes me max 1 min, thx to auto and speed up buttons.
Just hitting 3 buttons and then not even have to watch the screen is too much and painful for some, really? 🙈
2. Shuttle missions? Event, done (choice).
3. Leveling up crew? Ah, well, that’s a different kettle of fish….
I remember being new & F2P and struggling for trainers (Tangent: New Starbase room for intra-fleet trading! Sorry, sorry, mea culpa). Point being, lots of newer players will have difficulty to clear that one, and maybe the shuttles, too.
Just my 2¢. YMMV 🖖
200 levels can be leveling 20 crew from 1-10 or 6-7 crew from 1-30. It doesn't have to be 2 crew all the way to 100. New players should be able to hit it with no issue. They're also the players most likely to still have low level crew they're working on leveling.
Every time i try to tighten it up, I run out of Credits. Burn through 5 to 6 MILLION and still have left overs. That 68 is after getting it down from 137 last time......
EDIT:
One Merit Pull of 1*/2* can easily do it, if you take them to 30, also.
