Why would you not claim and level Admiral Cornwell before continuing past that point? You cost yourself a ton of chrons.

Holy crap, 5,000 chrons spent, and haven't even reached the final 4* threshold?!! See people, that is EXPENSIVE!! That's 7-10+ days of dailies, regens, voyages, and need to re-farm equipment.
Yes, unlikely things happen. I threw two dice once and it came up 12. But if there was a game where I gave you a dollar every time the dice came up 12, and you gave me a dollar every time they came up 7 - I'd play that game all day long.
Why FFFE lt Ash has lower Bonus then FFFE Voq?! ?! ?!
Not to mention Ash is Voq?! Not another way around ...
Ash is a variant, and Voq counts as bonus for the event. That means they both get the same 2x bonus. Likely in this case Voq's relative skill is higher than Ash. Nothing weird here.

I've spent about 1000 chrons and am almost at the last threshold (about 10k away). Not sure how you spent yours...

This. If you were using *celebratory* Ash (the actual event crew) then he'd win.

You must have had a good stock of some of the items.
I'm at top threshold now, also FEd the Admiral and that took about 3k-3500 chrons.

I'm wondering how much cash-in of the demands plays in here. I'm just shy of 190K at 4500 chronitons spent, but then I haven't cashed in any demands, either.

Sorry, I'm new(ish) - wouldn't levelling Cornwell itself take up chrons? I don't see the connection but am willing to learn!
Yes. comment moderated - ˜Shan in this case not leveling Cornwell is a valid strategy. There are plenty of players, myself included who put all our chrons into the event and not into leveling crew. There are other players who level the event crew during the event so they can generate more rare rewards and make up extra VP that way. I have yet to see anyone attempt to prove which approach will yield higher VP at the end.

It would take a LOT of data I bet. There are a bunch of brilliant number crunching statisticians here that could do it though There is a lot of RNG involved, which would probably make it hard to get an accurate answer.

I had to moderate too many comments in this thread. Please avoid making your comments personal, learn to disagree with cordiality, and if it gets too much there is an ignore feature as well.
I didn’t really keep track of the chrons I spent but I had maybe 100 to start with plus a voyage that recalled a couple hours in with another 600 or so. Plus the various threshold rewards, I hit my target of 70k VP while spending around a thousand chrons total. It’s more than I would have liked but the two supply kits were worth it and now I can spend all of my chrons for the rest of the weekend working on Cornwell so she’s ready for next week.
I’m not bothering with Pothead Tyler or Tarah, as the combo of T’Kuvma, Graduation Fun Sponge, and Commando Shran was more than sufficient to get good bonus percentages. I’ll level Tarah someday because I love Andorians but there’s no point in doing it now because I’m done with the event...

I think the RNG makes it impossible to really get a conclusive answer in this case. Too many moving parts.

I just reported that there seems to be an "Anomaly 2*" this Event, as there was a few months back when Dax was a Reward Character, and Festivus Crazy Eyes gave like weird results with really low percentages. Newer players might not have a lot of the Discovery Crew that were introduced further back, but they just might have Prisoner Mikey Fully Fused ,since she was the 2* for lower Thresholds just a few Events ago. Just trying to help people. That was all.

I always level the event characters. Partially because I have a fairly deep cache of components but I just find Galaxy events less frustrating with leveled crew. I can't say for sure if its the most efficient use of material but seeing 60-70% success rates on builds makes me feel better. I remember the early days of Galaxies when I had weaker crew and I didn't care for the 30% success rates.
As for Cornwell specifically, she's sometimes the best DIP character depending on traits.

T'Pau, Kirs'hara Archer, V'Las and
Actually I spent only around 100 chronitons to get her at level 60. And she is really useful in event even then.
I've seen one MED recipe so far so its being used, just not often.

The answer of which is best may also depend on whether you're playing for rank or not.
In this case, leveling Cornwell should be a priority because she has strong stats and will be 3x bonus all month.
