Hit a few Achievements milestones this weekend

While participating in the event this past weekend I managed to finish ranked in the top 10K. Wasn't even trying to either...in fact, I'd gotten so busy from mid-afternoon Friday on that I was hardly getting to the game at all. I would go for hours without having an opportunity to collect the rewards from shuttle missions and send out more. This morning I made a bit more of an effort when I saw that I was actually within range of adding a third Horta. I finished up missions with 2 minutes & 28 seconds to go and added that third Horta successfully, the extra little effort at the end boosting me into the 10K range and successfully completing that threshold in the Achievements tab of Daily Missions. Happy to have collected the rewards for that effort!
Also this weekend, beginning on Friday afternoon I committed to running a 20 hour voyage as I knew I'd be out of the house and away from my devices, unable to resolve dilemmas in a timely fashion. So, by the time I was over 6 hours into the voyage, during the next checks I'd either be able to resolve a dilemma or have to revive with dilithium. I got to the 20 hour mark just past mid-afternoon on Sunday & resolved that dilemma; during the next check instead of needing to expend more dilithium into it, I was actually able to recall it (had 24 anti-matter remaining) so I went ahead and did that.
However, I must admit to being disappointed in the returns from the perspective of characters dropped. I should make mention first of the fact that I did get a boatload of some needed & necessary equipment, a bounty of Honor Points and credits, an embarrassing amount of Chronitons and a ton of training programs. The characters though??? Terrible - almost no luck at all. I came back with close to 20 - and only needed ONE of them, which was Kurak (now have 3 of the 4 stars). All others were ones that I already have FF/FE - and some of them in cryostasis. I kept hoping to receive at least one of the 'Voyages Only' characters but didn't get a one of them...so disappointing. Despite the mother lode of equipment, chronitons, HP, credits & training, I'm not sure I'll bother with sending out such lengthy voyages in the future - this one hardly seemed worth the effort to keep my crew tied to a voyage and unavailable for shuttle missions or to clear nodes on missions. I really would have liked to have one of the 'Voyages Only' characters fall to me....it would've sweetened the pot for sure.
