It will be interesting to see if the arena requirement is harder for some this week due to the Bridge bonuses.
I don't think anyone is far enough for that to matter yet. But even if so, many of us will have switched to level 1 ships to help others anyway. I don't need these schematics, so you are all welcome to blast away at my level 1 ship.

+1, and ditto.

+ 1 See above. I fully intend to leave drones in any division I'm not playing in. I won't take schematics someone else might actually need. I have more than my replicator can use now.

@Mirror McCoy I wouldn't be too worried. With the OE extension, the Arena tickets will reset a second time. You should be able to get that last one in.

Depending on their time zone, the time between the reset and the end of the event might entirely pass while they're asleep (the event ends at 7AM EST, and I believe that's six hours after the Arena tickets reset).
19/20.
Then this happened on my very last battle, which was as far as I can tell, purely bad RNG.
It would be nice if that screen showed the crew on the attacked ship. Maybe I didn't see someone who could somehow cause it to take no damage.
Also remember since the FBB have been introduced. The person's bridge also contributes to the arena battles. And there is no way of being able to check, what bridge level the other person has also got. So if they have got a higher bridge level then you, that might also contributed to your lost.
I smack Shenzhou around for the most part. Every once in a while a Borg Cube.
Aside from that I take a quick look at their crew as well. Lotta people use inefficient crew at the lower rungs. Or people who use fast activating hammers with cloaked ships. The latter combo isn't very good on defence.

Or they throw Ardra in their crew, by the time her ability kicks in the battle is usually over.

The evasion and shield numbers update, but it isn't a great way to try and evaluate CB levels
Technically, if you enter the OE with 4 saved Valor and regenerating 16 Valor in the 2 days of OE duration, you can have 20 battles (which is 3 of 4 thresholds). Doing 2 combos is a free Valor, the first three thresholds give 3 free Valor, so it's 24 total. The last threshold and the completion bonus is 5 Valor total (13 instead of 8 Valor for 300 Dilithium).
Those who really need the Valor and wanna help killing Ultra + Nightmare simeowtaneously ... purrhaps that's a way to do it.

For me it’s start with 3.
Complete the node portion.
Get to 10 sometime Tuesday.
Get to 15 Wednesday Morning.
Late Wednesday evening I’m up to 23 spent.
So I’d have to spend 8 valour purchased with Dilithium to complete the event.
I’m not adverse to doing this but it’s not my preference to spend DIL on events.
On top of this there’s the issue of obtaining bonus valour because it will reset your valour timer. Because of the need to to maintain my timer at a more useable rate, I’ll have to use less efficient Full Auto builds some of the time.
Also I only have 3x4* Citations so I’m gonna need the other OE back real soon.
So... Start with 4 Valor = 4 battles.
Gain one Valor every 3 hours.
OE is 48 hours.
That is 16 valour, which gets to 20 battles.
You get one valor for the node objective, and then one for 10, 15, 20.
That's a maximum of 24 battles.
Now unless I have majorly miscalculated (and I would welcome being wrong)... That has automatically stopped me from completing the event unless I spend dilithium.
This is a time I welcome being wrong?

So... Start with 4 Valor = 4 battles.
Gain one Valor every 3 hours.
OE is 48 hours.
That is 16 valour, which gets to 20 battles.
Even with perfect timing, you get the last valour the same moment the event ends. So you only have 19 battles.
It’s 22 valour. You’ll get 3 bonus valour from the 2nd Node, 10 Attack and 15 Attack objectives.
So that means spending dilithium twice to refill valor, in order to achieve the 30 attacks requirement?
This will likely be the first OE that I don't complete. The rewards aren't worth the dil drain - all I get is a refill of the same resource I'd be forced to waste dil on. I'm better off just keeping my dil and collecting whatever rewards happen to come naturally.

Like putting 2 or 3 low level prof crew in or like me leaving two skills empty (not the featured skill)
For those that are not bothering to play gauntlet, put all low level prof. crew in or only use 3 skills .
Then this happened on my very last battle, which was as far as I can tell, purely bad RNG.

Don't you only need 18 to complete the objective?
I had 17 wins in 19 attempts.
Then on the 20th, this loss
Depending on their time zone, the time between the reset and the end of the event might entirely pass while they're asleep (the event ends at 7AM EST, and I believe that's six hours after the Arena tickets reset).
I'd still like to be able to see who I fought. I'll post in Make It So.

Felt kind of weird.
EDIT: Why is this in this thread?!?!?
new OE just dropped - its FBB focused

I was trying to be optimistic

I’ve spent DIL on boss battles before. I prefer not to but doing so let’s me experiment with different things.
I could spend 300 DIL and get 17 Valour. I imagine some fleetmates would do the same and we crush the boss faster than normal for extra rewards.
