Another Voyager episode I have not seen, for the 4 🌟. I need to binge the series at some point. Our cable was hit or miss on channels showing episodes back in the day.
"The truth is like a lion; you don't have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself."
Is it just me or are we working through the community rewards quite a bit more slowly than usual for a Faction/Galaxy? (or at least one that's new rather than a rerun or flashback)

This seems about right in the Excessive-Galaxy-Events Era. We got the event SR card with about 24hrs left. Figuring people turn in their SRs tomorrow, we should have enough to get the pack in the last hour of the event. I'm betting a lot of people are exhausted from the faction part; that was crazy hard with so few event crew to use (and I was saving my energy for the second half).
Speaking for myself, only, this event is not right for my crew. I hadn't planned to go hard this event, anyway. But I haven't had an event with worse crew for at least three years. If I had been planning to try hard, I would have stopped. Hopefully that let's others who care more get the reward. I'll save resources and go hard on another event.
More skirmish. More than anything, just ensure there is variety with a mix of single-type and hybrid events, so no event type becomes more abundant than the rest (as has happened with galaxy quite often this year).
I actually enjoy faction events with limited bonus crew. If there are more than 12 bonus crew, there is no thought or effort required, and no strategizing with other game features to consider. With the introduction of Continuum missions and Quipment, I found those boosted crew to be quite helpful during the faction phase of this current hybrid event, then included them on a voyage that lasted over 13 hours during the galaxy phase.
Greetings Captains, is there a type of events you are missing? Or that you would like to see them more often? Let us know LLAP
It has been clear for some time that the players are frustrated at the lack of pure Skirmish events over the last several months. And the over reliance on Galaxy/Supply events in that time has become tedious. I hear it in my fleet constantly and even mild-mannered me is outdone with it. You only have three event types to work with anyways, it makes not using one more noticeable. Put skirmishes back into the event rotation.

Another point I'll add, is that if creating new ships is at all a limiting factor for skirmishes, just use existing ships. There are enough 5* ships that are relatively new that I'd assume a large majority of players have not yet completed, and the schematics rewarded during a skirmish would barely allow for a single level-up anyway.

Perfect solution, if they hate adding new ships. Just use existing newer ships is a great idea.
Anything to make Skirmishes less rare.

My somewhat cynical view is that we get fewer skirmishes these days because the mini rewards allow players to bank useful in game resources, thus reducing demand for purchases ...
Pretty much. If I save up my voyage rewards for the week and go into a skirmish weekend, I can pretty much play non-stop and level up 10 or 20 people to level 100 from all the free chrons. The only thing stopping me from doing more is when I have to do real life stuff outside the game, plus as great as the rewards are, it is still extremely tedious.

Totally agree that Faction event with limited bonus crew is more enjoyable.
This event was incredibly weak. I just cleared thresholds, didn't even play phase 2, and somehow ended up in the top-1500 with a copy of Nanclus (rank 1495 - 358,840 points). Had I been paying more attention to rankings over the weekend, I would have at least played enough to get a second copy...

Me, too. Darn it. I should have looked this morning. I could have done an extra 5 minutes. Oh, well.

More Skirmish. Less Galaxy. No Faction Events with less than 20 available Event Bonus Crew.

Expeditions!
Someone had to say it. But they are still my favourite event type by far.
Failing that, more skirmish, less galaxy. And no more factions with such a pitiful crew selection.

Not looking good for a full galaxy.
Now the Event ending screws up the game, just like when an Event starts.....
Took over thirty tries to claim TWO Shuttles. Others won't claim at all.....
