I get that running a game like this is complex and difficult. I understand that some things, like the art approval issues, are out of the hands of the developers.
...but the skirmish events have been running largely unchanged for years so how did they manage to screw this up?

Not to mention issues with advertismeents displaying properly as well.
You know theres big problems when they cant even keep normal content flow things going. And like you said , skirmish hasnt changed. So, im guessing that what did change was staffing and prioritizing this game.
2 hours it be broke. This is a solid time to play for a lot of people. Hopefully they expand the rewards and don't make you ticket the problem. Slamming customer service wouldn't help if that was the only way.
Lucky you, that’s only 2 rounds…many sit on 100k+ intel.
I meant I started and abandoned 2 skirmishes @ 1200 intel, thinking the issue with my device. I had expected to be grinding this afternoon, so I’m curious to see how they handle this latest snafu.
This has now been resolved. Our apologies that this happened.
The event has been extended by 24h and we will also expand the rank rewards brackets.
Event impacts are always hard to compensate for, with these two approaches, we're trying to be broad and lessen the impacts on as many players as possible.
Also some people had their phase reset and others did not. In my case I'm still at 1200 while others restarted at 1 Intel cost. I know working Sundays isn't great and I'm delighted to hear rewards will be expanded.
I know people are annoyed but a few hours shouldn't be a full day.
Definitely not a good idea as it's a working day. Just go with the extra rewards.
There are those that plan the skirmish to when it ends. That all goes out the window now

We tried to take into account all time zones, it is never going to be a perfect scenario.
We'll review feedback as well on the extension. Thank you.
For whatever it's worth I'm happy with this solution. I'm in EST. A couple hours would have done absolutely nothing for me, since I need to go to bed and then go to work tomorrow - I'd have had no further chance to play, and today was really the only chance I had to put significant time into the event. With this, I've at least got a chance to burn off the extra skirmish rounds I'll accumulate tomorrow night.

Ditto. Eastern time zone here too. The downtime was key playing time for me today. Bedtime soon and working tomorrow, so the extended event is appreciated.
For what it's worth, I've spent about 90,000 chronitons this weekend and missed a good few hours of sleep. I hope CS will exchange what I presume will be a superfluous copy of Spock for the top 3 players for a citation
Sorry you and the others have to deal with this on a Sunday evening, Shan.

Not a fan, to be honest. You're already packing in OEs for engagement metrics and asking 6 days a week from your players. Another 24 hours of burning resources just to hold steady is a huge ask and the compensation needs to match it.
250 chrons in the mail (which will get you 20,000 VP or about 2% of the VP needed to rank for the new legendary crew) is measly and doesn't even compensate for what players will have to spend during that extra day, let alone the oopsie. It realistically should have been ten times the amount.

It was censored for being more grotesque than gagh.
Why would you want to see that?
You can’t see it because Captain Tryla doesn’t want to share.
Must be some odd little thumbnail glitch. Anyone have things playing hide and seek?
I get the same message.

Then it will happen again.

Have to agree, extending event is not a great idea. A few give aways and appropriately expanded ranked rewards would have sufficed.
