I dunno if anyone else noticed or even cares, but the event that will begin in two weeks (10 May) will be the 100th overall. Thought it might be fun to look back. What was your first event? What were your favorites?
My first was the second overall, "The Trouble with Klingons". I started playing three days into it. I ended with a respectable #95445 rank.
Some of my faves:
"The Big Sting" (Gangster Kirk, Anastasia Komananov, and Detective Dixon Hill ensnared in a heist)
"Fast As Light" (Honey Bare Jadzia and Duchamps from "Our Man Bashir" with Buster Kincaid Kim)
"The Galactic Series" - (Baseball!)
"The Game's Afoot" 1 & 2 (TNG Holmes)
"Holograms Are Forever" (DS9/Bond-ian theme)
"The Second Battle of New York" 1 & 2 (WWII)
"Holograms Are Forever" still has my favorite promo art of any event:

A memorable event for me was The Heart of the Empire, event 3/4 of the Klingon mega event, which saw me finish top-1000 for the first time. I thought that was pretty good for my 25th event.
(I have participated in every event)
Little did I know that Prospero Data wouldn't be available for more copies through portals for another year. Still sitting at 1/4.
Most memorable? Maybe Reflections, the third event in the Mirror Mega. We got those extra Event tickets and I tried HARD for Mirror Dr. Crusher. I didn't quite make it, but spending Christmas Eve pounding away at those Expidition tickets was sure memorable!
Favorite, maybe Guiding Principles for Commander Kira or Guilty As Charged for Zhian'tara Odo (I bought pack offers to get both of them).
Opening up four Event packs last week and getting three Vreenaks was also pretty fun, not to mention getting to use my Immortalized Admiral Kirk, and 2 starred Kal-if-fee Kirk and Mirror Kirk in the shuttles.
We're still trying to figure out what was going on with "The Prime Directive". That event truly was cursed.
Same here. I still have my Doctor Chaotica at 1*/5*.
Favourite I think was Guiding Principles, because I adore Kira and especially her season seven hairstyle. Still didn't have much of a shuttle crew then, but I was up at 2 in the morning for the flip from faction to galaxy, and finally dragged myself off to bed at 4am after pouring 3000 chrons in to make darn sure I got her. (Which wasn't strictly necessary, since I blew all my dilithium on event packs as soon as they were available and got her that way, plus the double-up offer, but hey, third star - I wanted her immortal from the start, and finished her off in the end with citations.)
And here. I didn’t rank all that highly (if memory serves, because the records in-game don’t go that far back) but I must have gotten a Queen Arachnia from a pack because she is one of my oldest legendaries, along with Abe Lincoln.
I know I got my first 4* from it – Maquis Ro. She has been sitting at 1/4* ever since due to bad luck, then just last week I got a second * for her from a voyage. I finished 27012 (according to the game), and being a "shuttle event", I probably only had 2 at the time.
Played every event in some fashion or another.
A celebration gift of something would be a nice but not expected
100,000 honor
Top 100 in the event gets top 1 (and all the way down is big boost rewards
100 single premium pulls
100 credit 10x packs
10 standard 10 shuttle packs
How many months has the game been active ?
1 time purchase offer, $10 for 26 premium 10x portal (a pack for each month)
Something with great value if it's a purchase..
A really big bang would be great motivation to keep on banging it out for another 25 or 50 events (at which point we can celebrate again)
DB, here is my money.. would you like some ?
100 SR pulls
100 crew slots
100 thousand honour
100 shuttle packs
"I'd buy that for a dollar!" (or an equivalent fairly priced amount. LOL)
Same here
Ribbon of Joy: (993) First expedition, first top 1000 finish; cemented expedition as my favorite event. AoS Crusher was my first ledgendary. Although I've since immortalized her through citations and a couple lucky beholds, I would like to see this one rerun (and Ribbon of Joy is the oldest expedition that hadn't had a rerun.)
Genesis Wave 2 (1590) First faction event I thought I was competitive in. Real life events prevented me from finishing it in the top 1000 though.
When Giants Walk (811) First faction I got top 1000.
Second Act 2 (1019) Mainly proud to get Cardassian Kira as I missed her the first time around. Was struggling to consistantly hit top 1000 during this period; there were a number of ENG crew I tried to make runs for (Mirror Bashir, Romulan Data, Laborer Spock) but came short. In particular I remember reading a comment on the forum from someone who airlocked Romulan Data he won because he hated the art (why compete then? just for bragging rights? just to keep others from ranking?)
Gates of Hell (729) From this point on, I was able to hit top 1000 in every faction event, except those that I deliberately tanked (I kept every ledgendary I won and passed on those I did not want...hint hint Romulan Data guy) until recently with Father of Logic...I guess Kolinar Spock was popular enough that more people were willing to be competitive and/or rush shuttles.
Streak of Stardust (1144) The first and last time I tried to play a galaxy beyond thresholds, and this one was a hybrid. Thought I was good until the rush in the last two hours. What a waste of chronitons.

TP: Do better!!!
My favourite have probably been the sting, battle from new york, and quadrilaterial (Capt La Forge was one of my first fully fused legendary) and probably the borg mega-event despite the endless polyalloys farming.
Same here, except I finished at 68,875. Considering my best character at the time was probably the 2* Picard (I'd only been playing a couple of days when it came along), I consider that good going
The odds of them removing 100 crew slots from every player are greater than the odds of them giving 100 crew slots to every player
We'll probably just get a free version of the 5*, which will likely be the Burnham counterpart of "Traffic Guard" Sarek. Or the Janeway version, whatever that would be.
Merry Men is memorable for wtf?! Beowulf cry-baby Kim and the expedition that revealed "this is hopeless, it's going to take forever to get useful and enough crew". But I was bored stupid so learned what it would take to reach the first Epic mission, hated the crap out of never getting the * on missions, and liked the challenge and hated the repetitiveness of the event.
Why am I still here? Well, Picardgate ended my spending and the game has changed in no meaningful way since. So I guess I just spend 5 minutes here and there and maintain relationships with my fleet on Discord, 'cos God knows fleet chat is utter Shite and Ruked beyond hope.
*I did get added to the beta test, so on Day 1 I had already played the game for a couple months, though we all started over when it went live.
