How long do we have to claim event rewards ?
With the arrival of cryostasis collections, I have changed the way I play the game.
Having immortalised all of the 2* and 3* crew I need for all of the daily cadet missions I used to simply airlock all of the 1*, 2* and 3* crew I got from Voyages and portal pulls.
Now, however, I keep them and level them one by one each day (freeing a crew slot when I immortalised each one but accruing a waiting list as I go).
The problem I have now is making sure I clear the backlog before the 7 day timer ticks down and they are automatically airlocked.
This isn't too much of a problem with 1*, 2* or 3* crew but on Monday I will get 3/4* Mutated Paris in the event rewards.
My question therefore is how long can I go without claiming the event rewards ?
Will they sit there indefinitely until I collect them or will they simply disappear ?
If they do disappear, will that be when the next event begins, or when the new event countdown timer appears, or do they just vanish after 24 or 12 hours, like other offers do ?
I trust somebody on the forums knows and hope they can shed some light on the matter for me.
Apologies if this has been asked and answered before (I did a quick scan of the forums but couldn't find an answer).

MUTATED PARIS?!?!?!?
One idea, is you could space the second star on some of your unfused 2*s as they are cheap to citation if they don't pop back up by the time your ready to freeze them. Keiko 1* you could just Chuck as she shows up 3 times a week lol.
Anything to basically get Paris as 220/220
Short of spacing another 4* or legendary is the best move, as (except for honor Hall characters) all the 1 2 3s can be gotten again generally painlessly.
... What would be nice is if we could resurrect in to the overflow. That would solve a lot of problems.
I have 1x 3/3*, 1x 2/2* and 3x 1* that I can level and cryo instantly - I just try to do one a day as part of my dailies (rather than burning through all of them at once - and possibly risking burning myself out in the process).
In the meantime I have 1x 2/3* and 1x 1/3* crew taking up active places in my crew that I will give until 6pm UTC before sending to the airlock to free up space for more cryo collection candidates that I can level when I'm ready to.
So long as I can hold off on collecting the event rewards until I want to, it should be fine for me to continue doing this.
As to whether I want or need a 3/4* Mutated Paris is another question entirely (I have no plans on spending a citation on getting his 4th star).
Can anybody give me a compelling reason not to just throw him out of the airlock ?
I could still claim my event rewards after 11 days of forced absence earlier this year. But I would agree with the assesment that you can't start the new event without claiming the old rewards.
Good to know.
Hopefully I'll be able to get around to deciding what to do with him soon but I can't see any real reason to hang onto him.
Thanks for the info guys.
Time to airlock the overflow.
For Galaxy you simply can't because you can only access recipes after clicking the event button which in turn is defaulted to previous event.
To add to this, I haven't claimed my rewards (including chrons) from last Galaxy event which was 2 weeks back. I played through last weeks Faction event, ended in top 600 and even claimed my rewards. I am waiting for this week's Galaxy event to kick off and wait for first 2 community threshold to be unlocked before I claim my previous event rewards and start playing this week's event.
