*reads missions descriptions* Waaaay to steal fun out of event. I don't want to run them...
Yeah, I agree lmao. I came here just to say that if Burnham was in charge of Starfleet....no one would serve. Phase 2 needs to have a faction of people that don’t want to do things her way...
Anyone notice notice Tourist Quark lacks the Bartender triat? Although I find it hard to believe that he loses his skill slinging drinks just because he's away from the bar, the missing trait does make sense. He is on vacation and shouldn't expect to be asked to tend bar.
ET pulls would be cool, even if it was a few singles given out in the Community Pull.
I would love to get ET. Even if it were just some single pulls, but I feel like that's probably hoping for too much, even with the recent more generous DB.
50% Failures. But, some were like 45-50% chance, so......
I'm getting 50% failures on each round of shuttles, with percentages all above 70%. I can't get higher than the 2250 VP missions.
Yeah. I have had times when I used FIVE HIGH BONUS CREW that had EVERY Attribute, including all the "Ors", and would have like a 57% chance of Success, with a 4* or 5* Booster that Boosted whichever Attribute was used most......
Galaxies I do best in. I've been honest about that. Hopefully I can crank enough Points by lunch time tomorrow in order to get the rest from Phase Two in the less than half hour I will have to do Galaxy Phase. {Monday is a holiday, again. Third one in like four weeks!!!!!}

Why are you doing 5 seater missions?
They are the ones that come up. Are less seats easier?!?!?
DOG!!!!!
Why do I know NOTHING about this game after a year?!?!?

They also just use less crew, so you don't end up with non-optimal crew members.
Just let the 4-5 crew missions sit and expire and only send out the 3 crew (or 2 crew, if they have those, it's rare) missions. You go through more transmissions but it's worth it.

Okay. I even saw a couple of singles this Event so far. I'll watch. The currents will finish before 1100. {I 38 Speeded Up in order to get second wave out this morning. Leaving at 1200 today. May not be back online this afternoon.}

"The truth is like a lion; you don't have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself."
With the low amount of bonus crew this time it feels essential to run lower seat missions.
That being said I am running some 1 four just cause its giving me a better percentage than one of the 3s.
Unless you are strapped for merits/transmissions, open up all 20 missions and see what ones give you the best percentage. Start with the 3 seaters. If a 3 seater give you a crappy percentage and you've sent the other 3s out, then start with the 4s....

I'm at 298 Transmissions, so I can experiment on the best odds Shuttles......

This round had 3 out of 4 fail. This just isn't going to be an event I can do well in, I guess.
I had a hard time around the 2750 VP mark. All 4 were going out over 90% and I kept failing 2/4. Finally cleared it and am now passing 3 or even all 4 with 80%+ shuttles.
There are a lot fewer bonus crew this event. Especially following a mega event where everyone had a lot of bonus crew by the end, we should all expect the shuttles to be harder and fail more often. But as long as the playing field is level, it shouldn't affect ranking that much.
"The skill difficulty, victory points scored, and time to completion is based upon your current number of successful and failed event shuttle missions in the below table. Each successful shuttle counts as one point, while each failed shuttle counts as -1.5."
"The skill difficulty, victory points scored, and time to completion is based upon your current number of successful and failed event shuttle missions in the below table. Each successful shuttle counts as one point, while each failed shuttle counts as -1.5."
See? That right there. That is EXACTLY why I vehemently HATE "Fraction Events".
{Because I end up getting a FRACTION of the Points I can grind out for Galaxies........}

Fair enough. Faction events have a lot of RNG and require good crew. Dangerous mix

Unless you are going threshold and out, total points shouldn't matter except relative to other folks total points.
Honestly factions require leveling your crew being a lil deeper into them and actually doing some thinking strategy. I know that is another reason some folks hate them so much.
Then there is the RNG, but that's the whole game, all types included.

I'd love it but I can't even hope for it.

Given the amount of dilithium I've sunk into these, I hope not. I'm pushing my luck with that pack now as it is.
I would love to get ET. Even if it were just some single pulls, but I feel like that's probably hoping for too much, even with the recent more generous DB.

75% Failed.......
I read the text of your failures. Those sound like successes to me. I think they got fail and success backwards in this event.
That said, wow, this is an extremely annoying event with the DBNG being exceedingly pirkkish and failing 3/8 of "90%" shuttles.
EDIT TO ADD:
Did just get a "TWO-CREW"
Yeah if you fail shuttles your VP rewards can go down. There's info about it on the wiki: https://stt.wiki/wiki/Events#Faction_Event
