I opened 20 transmissions before the Phase change. Those transmissions will still earn VP, but the crew bonus multipliers do not seem to apply. I have not entered the Event since then, just looked at the Leaderboard & Rewards tabs.
We actually did some unofficial testing of this in our fleet in the last hybrid event, after hearing from quite a few others here on the forums that the visual display of %s is incorrect in this case. We found that even very, very low percentage shuttles were coming back successful more often than not when these event/bonus crew were used. So, basically, what I now believe to be true is that the crew bonuses actually do still apply — they will not show as bonuses, and the displayed percentages will be quite low, but in reality, those percentages are the same as what you would have gotten with the same crew had you run that mission in Phase 1. (If you leave your game up and running the whole time, you will still see the bonus crew info and proper percentages — it's only after a restart that the visuals are incorrect.)
One other thing to keep in mind is that if you do restart before you have run all those Phase 1 shuttles, you will lose access to the shared crew from your squadron leader.
Was the game restarted before the shuttles came back?
I've found that if the game stays open the whole time I had better results....I was getting 3/4 successful this time with bonus crew.
Yes, we were finding that we were getting the same amount of successful shuttles if we restarted the game as we were when using the same crew on the same missions in Phase 1. I do try to leave the game open, myself, however, just so I can see the percentages and have a better idea of what I'm sending out.

Why does it seem that only federation faction is included in Faction events? I need rep/items from many other factions!
They have been used an awful lot lately. If you go back one year, it evens out a bit more... out of the last 37 Faction or half-Faction events, 20 of them did not include Federation as one of the factions, and 17 of them did (with a good number of those being Federation-only events). However, that's still too much, in my view.
One could certainly argue that the Federation, being the main unifying faction in the quadrant, should appear more frequently in events, but I'd like to see it featured a lot less, myself. There are other factions that get short shrift and it would be nice to see it distributed more evenly.

Are we talking about game balance again? Where's Ivanstone to tell you that The Federation appears in every episode and that the other factions barely warrant a mention? There's been enough of the other factions in the game already, I already have the other factions maxed out, and we simply don't need any more events with different factions in them.
