What Are You doing With Your 100th Event 2,500 Chronitons?

Shy Khan

Curious how everyone is spending their 2,500 Chronitons given in celebration of the 100th event?

Splitting it between this event and leveling up crew.

I used about 1800 chrons to clear the thresholds and spent the rest on crew.

I've got thousands of them sitting by for a rainy day. Nowadays I collect more than I spend, I was going to go hard in this event but the extras kind of blew that idea away. The participation seems a bit up. It's kind of annoying that every time I really want a gold they throw sorrytons or tickets at us that ruin my well made plans.

I've already spent it to add to my ever growing stash of stuff. Some of that stash will be used this event.

Split baby!

Splitting it between this event and leveling up crew.

I was going to forego the rest of the event & save chrons for leveling (I had saved around 5K chrons for this event before the 2500 bonus), and since I hit the thresholds and leveled Alan & Virt Doc to 100 on the first day, but when I started cashing out VP, I got in the top 500, which makes me want another * for Doc. LOL

Split between finishing off the galaxy map and levelling.

I’ll use it when I need to level some tricky crew or have to vault a few characters to male space or complete a collection

It will be used for leveling crew at some point when I have the time. I don't play galaxy events anymore as I see them as a waste of chrons.

Saving it for general rainy-ness.

If I can help it I'm not going to use it for this event, I only need one more star on Vic, I'm uninspired with the Virtuoso Doctor to be quite frank and many people will be using their ticket to get him so might as well wait for an event when people are less likely to have the message still saved. So I'll either put it for levelling crew, but this seems a bit of a waste unless I get a lucky begold and need to fast level it, or a different galaxy event for a more appealing legendary.

In theory, my answer is "Saving it for a different galaxy event". But I've been doing that with every mailed pack of Chrons for much of the past year, and haven't opened any yet. So the real answer is, "Letting them languish in my inbox forever". (Sitting next to my Merry Worf that I don't have crew slot space for.)

Would muchly prefer Honor instead of Chrons already.

Same. QFT.

I also think it's a bad idea to use mailbox-chrons on the same event where DB gave them out. Everyone got those; you gain no advantage using them in the same event (unless you're trying to keep from being left behind). An event where they give out a bunch of free chrons is going to be much harder to achieve ranks, in general.

I just hope the future Galaxy Event where I eventually decide to use all these saved Chronitons is one where everyone else with "plentiful Inboxes" decides they are going to take a break that weekend

I donated them to a local charity.

Definitely a future Galaxy event. I'll get 50K or some ridiculous amount saved at some point and then just go for 1st.

spent some to finish the threshold, and then used the remaining to finally freeze Gorn Captain and Martia

Putting it into this week’s event, at some point

Since I no longer have any active crew to level, I decided to spend it on the event to get to 100k VP and to prefarm some hard to get items.

I'm pouring them into this event. For the first time ever I've been hovering around 100-300 in the event. I am wanting to get Virtuoso Doctor, but also I want to clear the achievement of making below 500 on an event, which would be a first for me.

I normally don't play galaxy beyond thresholds, but I need one last star for Vic. Been forever since I've tried to rank in galaxy and have no idea how many chronotons I'll need. I've been stockpiling for days and I'm doing fine now but I don't want to get complacent, 2.5k more went right into either directly into the event or leveling Alan.

My main account has all crew leveled, so saving for a future event. Maybe one where I have the legendary bonus crew already.

My second account did not need it for event. So I used it for leveling crew. Pretty much hit the faction item brick wall half way through. I still had some replications and got through some of the walls. But with 7 crew to level and most needing Uncommon science experiments, I had to go through my components and decide what to use the Chrons I had left on. It gets tough when you face not only the faction item brick wall but credits kept me from actually building an item. However, using up the Chrons i had left gave me the credits to build the item plus one more.

With the bonus, I threw about 6500 chronitons into the event with a supply kit so I could use the cash bonus to replicate multiple 4*/5* difficult items I had sitting around waiting to FE several characters. The event was a bonus. Got a FF/FE Geordi and potentially a couple more stars to FF Vic that I have had been sitting around at 1/4. I was thinking about taking it easy this week but thanks to @Travis S McClain for saying something in another post to give me the idea. Timing is everything. 😀

Saving it for that 60,000 pile of chronos needed to win a galaxy event.

I will FE existing 4*s, downwards from 3F to 1F, whilst keeping a weather eye on DS9/Augment potentials.

It got eaten up in the middle of a complicated plan I came up with to get around not having internet access next weekend - take the 10x30 deal I was offered, use the 2500 chrons, and honour from airlocking, to finish off a few rares I've had sitting around to make room for the new purple crew I picked up without having to ditch anyone, and then sit on the extra dilithium the deal also gave so I can just get a bunch of event packs on Thursday and hope for enough Kesses to 4/4 her, and a lucky Killy along the way.

Of course I could've just got the deal and not opened the packs. Or popped into work for five minutes on Saturday and used pretty much the same money to get the 1xKilly deal that'd be up then, and saved the 2500 for the next galaxy event. But this was more fun.

I'm not sure what I want to use them for, but I do know what I'm NOT using them for, and that's this galaxy event. For a regular galaxy event with no chroniton bonus, I struggle to reach the gold character. This may be from lack of effort, lack of resources, lack of time, or a combination of all 3, but the fact still remains that I'm forever destined to the 2000-2500 range.

For THIS galaxy event, spending the 2500 extra chronitons on it with everyone else doing the same is just a waste.

Pallidyne

Lol I just hoarded voyage chrons for this event. Might just add these chrons to my 5-10k still in my inbox and let em rest for a bit

Thanks to those 2500, along with what I had, I immortalized 4 crew members, putting my total at 319. Thanks, DB.

Saving it for general rainy-ness.

I got my last star for Vic from the community rewards, so it was threshold-and-out for me.

I did immortalize Alan-a-Dale early on, to help maximize the number of rare items earned and save chrons along the way to threshold.

I enjoyed a relaxing weekend (which my wife appreciated, being mother's day and all) without having to compete in the event.

I used the thousands of chrons I had stockpiled to:
- clear the last 8 or 9 mission stars I had remaining
- immortalize some 4* crew (including Ardra, before I had any clue she was in the next event!) to help clear slot space (Silik), fill some missing skill combos for the upcoming event (Antaak & Kurak), and prep for the upcoming mega event (Mirror Janeway & Changeling Bashir)

I am now up to 282 immortal!
