"Update from Joe this afternoon. I expect TPG to release an official changelog but I want to share my notes with the community.
11.0.2 rollout will release next week before the voyage event
UI added to access the voyage during the event
Green gauntlet text dialed back to only the applicable skills in each matchup
Event crew bonuses will be rebalanced to 10% and 20%
Boosts for manipulation of voyage encounter times should not give passive VP during the boosted time
Upcoming voyage events are planned as hybrids to account for the delay in calculating VP until it's fixed
Expected delay of VP is less than 3 hours after phase change
11.0.3 release is planned after 11.0.2 as a tech update to fix the log in issues and frequent game freezing
Character brief of Giant Spock has finally been started! 🤞"
This is really information that should be being posted in game so that we have a level playing field. How hard can it be? It took me less than a minute to post it here.

So… I’m currently running version 11.0.1. Haven’t seen a notice that an upgrade is advisable/required before tomorrow’s event. Do they plan to force-upgrade us?
If anyone has an answer, cool, but honestly I’m just venting a bit too. We have a sparkling new event type launching tomorrow, after years of asking for one, but I don’t see much promotion or discussion of this event here. At the risk of playing the old-timer card, I’m sure many of us remember the hype buildup to the first Borg mega event. Excitement was palpable! It would’ve been nice to see some of that effort made again. (Yeah, I know, smaller dev team, less budget, etc., but still…)

No. I would expect that to continue. In fact one of the reasons they made it a hybrid with a skirmish second half is so that they can fix all that without blocking the second half of the event.
That being said, if you believe TP will have enough staff on call to fix issues midday Saturday, I have a bridge to sell you.
Why on earth would players want to use the event crew in both parts of the event? That makes absolutely no sense.
Quick insight into the devs' thought processes.
You can put crew on a skirmish that are on shuttles/voyages. So theoretically you can use your event crew in the skirmish even if they're stuck on the event voyage.
You only need one bonus crew for the skirmish, and it only needs to be lvl 1, 1/4
Keep the Queen back, or don't merge one of her stars until the voyage has returned.
I'm unclear on the benefits of using 4* event crew for the voyage part.
