With skirmish you get back your chrons, can farm for galaxy. You get all the rewards in no time at all
Depending on your goal, there really is no reason to do much work in the second half when you can do it all in the first & reap rewards too while doing it
82 minutes into phase 2 with 38m VP for community rewards. Extrapolating from that number, it's gonna be around 1.33b VP at the end of phase 2.
Maybe there's some motivation for players to get Handler Worf?
Last time there was a Skirmish/Galaxy it looked like we were on track for the first 12 hours or so, but then the pace slacked off enormously. I assume people who hadn't quite managed to hit thresholds did a little bit of galaxy pretty quickly and then it was just the people aiming for rank still playing and they weren't enough by themselves.
ETA: admittedly Worf probably has significantly more fans than Six of Ten ...
I don't thi k you can categorize it as a "fail" That generally means that someone is to blamr
It is nobody's fault. WRG are not to blame & you cannot blame all the players
The hybrid as a skirmish/galaxy just does not work unlike faction/galaxy where you do work in both halves
It wouldn't matter if you switched the halves around with galaxy going first. In fact, I'd imagine most people would benefit & like this as they have the whole weekend to do it
Scrap skirmish hybrids & bring back full skirmishes

While I certainly would enjoy more full skirmish events, I quite enjoyed that. I did as much skirmishing as I could across those two days, leaving me in great position to grind a little galaxy crafting to slide into the top-750 to get the 2 copies of Worf that I wanted. The last 12 hours weren't nearly as stressful as other events that end with a galaxy phase, and having so many people tap-out after skirmishing was much appreciated!

Which is pretty much what I said
If I gad done an hour more or so of skirmish, I would have finished T100 without hardly any galaxy I imagine. I did a bit but just couldn't be bothered.
A minute of skirmish = 6000. How long does it take to get the 15 needed for the 4850, let alone all the items it consumes?

This!
If they switch skirmish and galaxy hybrids, I would skip the first phase and play the 2nd.
I suspect the majority of players are not that strategic. They play what's there until they finish threshold or until they hit the value they want.
If the first half is galaxy they will just play and earn what they earn. And then finish what they need in skirmish.
If the first half is skirmish, they will play that and then when they hit their goal they'll stop.
But the fundamental issue which has never been addressed since the first hybrid, events should not be mixed that have unbalanced VP potential. If skirmish events earn more points than faction or galaxy events, they shouldn't be combined. It turns the event into an effective 2 day event based only on the high scoring type. Even galaxy and faction make for an awkward mix because of the scoring potential in galaxy relative to faction events.

Looks like another community reward fail.
