Please tell me that we will not get 3 new tickets tomorrow!
You'll get 3 more at server reset.
Except that I'm pretty sure I didn't get them. Did everyone else?
If you have 3 you got them. It doesn't add 3, it tops you off at 3. So if you carried any over from yesterday they would only add enough to give you 3 total.
I just can't help myself and I must clear those tickets
I know what you mean. I cleared threshold and have 1 more ticket today and the three for tomorrow that I feel compelled to use even though it's probably pointless with the expedition portion coming up.
They still need to do something to create more variation in points(ideally not just RNG). As has been mentioned Bashir, RIker, Leeta, and Sabrina plus some random other crew are all you need to max points. So many people have them that they're all earning the same number of VP for each ticket. Raising in ranks means just running more tickets instead of doing anything else to show better skill or crew.
...
Got Riker in the pack. That means either event succeed and I can't make myself care about fighting it just for ONE Riker. Or event fails and I can't make myself care about it at all even with two Rikers at stake. Well, more sleep for me then.
With the low number of tickets this time (what 12 total?) vs Christmas, I'm actually enjoying this expedition, except the whole try to find crew part.
the only tweak I'd make is bonus/event crew to the top of the selection list.
Yes we definitely need the event people on top. Mid ticket I have to scroll through a hundred people to find Leeta. Or at least give us a search function.
Did I miss something or is it new that in this Faction part event/bonus crew DOES appear on top of the crew selection list?
Looks to me like it’s sorting as always. Bonus crew sort with their bonus factored in so depending on your crew it might be all bonus crew at the top and usually at least the best of them are. Example, 3/4 Leeta shows 715 CMD but will sort using 2145 CMD (715 x3) since she’s featured crew.
Is it me, or after jumpstarting the Faction missions, you finally sat back and realized you can relax from this Event? [Expeditions are so time consuming]
Hello there, vodka. I know I've been neglecting you.

Hello there, vodka. I know I've been neglecting you.
I have Iron Man Riker ready, so that's good. I'll level up my O'Brien cards.
Iron Man Riker?
It works for me. I suppose it IS more "Tony Stark" than Iron Man. @Flemming, the red suit Riker does look more Iron Man, but I was thinking first movie. Especially with Riker holding a glowing blue orb.

Let’s assemble all of the people that wanted a longer event into one room shall we...
Oh that’s right... NOBODY!
I'm glad I'm not alone. I was beginning to think I was. As I said earlier, the problem is that thetes too much event and not enough GAME. An event should be something special, not the normal mode of play. I wouldn't care if they had a month long event, if it was something unusual, but we already practically have a month long event every month!

When do I get to just play the game?
Unfortunately, with the glacial pace at which episodes are released and the repetitive nature of the arena/gauntlet/cadet challenges, events have become the game. Monday afternoon through Thursday morning are our time to get ready for the next event...and with the way they are monetized, I don’t see us reverting to the original design any time soon.
It could have been so much better. A really cool (or OP) character that people actually want. Or put anything but the galaxy portion last. But noooooooooooooooo.

I hit a wall in Gauntlet and Arena. Events are the only things that keep me interested. I've only been playing 3 months, so events are my best chance to get decent crew. That said, I do like having three days to prepare for an event. The 6 days isn't putting me off, except for the fact that I have very little time to prepare for the next one.
That gives me an idea for a Bridge Theme: Avengers!
Iron Man Riker
Orian Slaver Hulk
Wrathful Khan Thor
Any other ideas? Mintakan Riker Hawkeye?
Please someone, steal this idea and put it in the Ship Themes Thread!
Hawkeye has to be Robin Hood, right?
Hey, @Flemming — I took your idea and ran with it. But, adding more Marvel characters than just the Avengers, I found it was too "big" for just a 'Ship Theme', so I made a whole new thread. Here's a little preview below, but follow this link in The Holodeck to see 'em all.
Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing. ~ Data, ST:TNG "Haven"

Absotively...this was really annoying. We can already ‘heart’ some characters so it seems like this wouldn’t be a stretch even if we do it manually...
That is normal behavior for faction event missions, which makes the crew sorting for the expedition event that much more frustrating.
Looks to me like it’s sorting as always. Bonus crew sort with their bonus factored in so depending on your crew it might be all bonus crew at the top and usually at least the best of them are. Example, 3/4 Leeta shows 715 CMD but will sort using 2145 CMD (715 x3) since she’s featured crew.
Hello there, vodka. I know I've been neglecting you.
Come to Flemming.
Iron Man Riker?
The name fits
Enterprise Assemble!
Augment Riker, aka Ice Pirates Riker. DavideBooks has mentioned thinking he looks like Tony Stark.
Iron Man Riker
Orian Slaver Hulk
Wrathful Khan Thor
Any other ideas? Mintakan Riker Hawkeye?

I didn't even bother to jump start, lol

That's Ice Pirate Riker to me.
But that's the fun of nicknames.

The Borg event is still the best mega-event.
