Uh...I just had an encounter where one of my crew somehow failed and it didn't give me the option to revive them to keep my Streak and just continued the voyage. I'm now waiting two hours to see if I actually lost my streak or not. I'm going to be beyond devastated and upset if I actually just lost my X32 multiplier Streak because of a glitch
If you lost a battle and you had less than 50 AM left in the tank, you cannot refresh/revive and your multiplier streak is gone.
Each gauntlet loss costs 50AM. When you get to the higher battles that you were at, it's strategy to make sure you didn't FF into the battle (which likely took all your AM) or to let your voyage crash and refill the tank before going into the battle.
Really? I thought it to be a bug, because I was all of a sudden thrown out after the first node.
I didn't know about this kind of rule beforehand.
And if I had known, this wouldn't be any better. You know, you can refill every time without any problems your Antimatter with dilithium, but if you're going into a dilemma without a sufficient reserve of it, then it's really cuckoo. This is really a severe game breaker, because you cannot fill it up before your tank is empty. You really can't avoid such horrible situations. WE REALLY NEED A SOLUTION! Be it a refill AM button after a failed node or something else. I wouldn't even mind a negative balance that would be charged against a refill after that dilemma. It really hurts wasting resources with such situations around.
This event is painfully boring and requires way more babysitting than faction events. There is even less thinking required for crew selection than expedition events, provided you've been playing for years. I feel bad for newer players who don't have deep crew rosters.
With 3 minutes to go, only 1330 players have even managed/bothered to clear thresholds!
EDIT: a total of 1,337 players cleared thresholds this week, meaning 164 players finished in the top-1,500 to win a copy of the new 5* crew without even clearing thresholds! When was the last time that happened??
We really need to make voyage boosts their own portal package instead of lumping them in with shuttles.
The voyage boosts water down the shuttle boosts so we can't get nearly as many of the shuttle time boosts we desperately need for those events.
The glut of stat-boosting shuttle boosts we will never use in a million years clog up our rewards and minimize our ability to pull much needed voyage boosts.
Let us focus on one set of boosts or another, please separate these two completely different items from having to be pulled from the same 10-packs.

They could make the Sunday advanced cadet challenge a chance to earn those new types of packs. Now that you can turn any unneeded items into replicator rations, there really isn't much need for a challenge that drops those any more. (I've personally got more than I could ever use.)
I just want to add to this Antimatter problem, that the fast forward boosters heavily lose their worth due being limited useful in late Voyage situations. Which stupid person uses this booster in a situation when this booster leaves only 1 AM? And you're forced to play a high-risk dilemma, where your high multiplier is stomped to the bottom of the Mariana Trench?
Maybe a second slot would be a solution. Combined with a skip booster. Or if you haven't any, you could insert a canister of AM. Like a gas can in your car trunk.
I think something went very wrong with the calculation.
Before going to sleep I used a voyage revive token at 11 hours 13 minutes, and the boost to skip two encounters. I was past 350,000 points at that point (had already claimed the 10 pack). There were 6 hours left in the event.

I finished with 358,000 points.
Skips skip the VP as well as everything else, leaving it to sit until you can get back to the game and using fast forwards is a much better strategy.
I have a question. I know compensation went out to those effected with event voyage issues (one revive token and 200 chrons), but what if the cost to the player was greater than that? I was burned on two revive tokens (one didn’t refill my antimatter and the other I couldn’t load the next dilemma), 80k points that didn’t show in my score from my first voyage (photos to prove it), and a loss of future points because my voyage stuck with an hour left in phase 1 (so my plan to use my final 5 “fast forward” token went out the window). I was told the one revive token and 200 chrons is the only compensation there is and nothing else can be done. How does that work when not everyone was impacted the same?

Continue to escalate your ticket. Do not take no for an answer.
CS is useless right now with anything beyond the script they were given for the voyage event.
Push to talk to a manager or someone who understands the problem until they fix it.

Really a good idea. The devs could include in these particular Voyage packs following boosters:
voyage fast forward
skip encounter
contest crit boost
crew revival
voyage revival
antimatter refill can
Combined with a second Voyage booster slot, we could avoid these hairy situations running aground during a dilemma.
We have so much stuff to be stuffed in the replicator, that the replicator rations have outlived their original purpose. I have maxed out my daily replicator usage capacity, and I don't know whereto with all my inventory filling items.

Agreed. I’ve asked to escalate twice now as well as talk to a manager. We’ll see what happens.

Thanks for the new freebies I personally wish phase changes give you all awards rather than just VP and the voyage is recalled automatically or there are simply no phase changes for voyage events but the event was overall okay for me, I personally didn't experience any bugs but I didn't play much and didn't go for top 100.
I liked the event. It was a lil tricky at first but once I got a handle on it it was fun. I used my gold skill boosts I had laying around that don’t ever see use in faction events that have so many bonus crew. Got to use some voyage tokens I had laying around. I liked it and came in at rank 60.

I liked the planning ahead and seeing how many crew I could equip and sorting them.
I like the concept, even if it is a gauntlet event as much as a voyage event.
I don't like the lack of points. Even with a crew of ten quipped crew plus the mega event crew plus my best med gauntleteer, I could not have hit thresholds without spending resources. And these are (at least currently) limited resources that don't build up at a good rate without spending money. I didn’t use a ton of resources, but more than half my stock.
I really really didn't like the initial babysitting of the voyages. Seriously, I have a full-time job and a great family. I can manage twenty minutes for a shuttle Jumpstart and such, but near-constant vigilance over voyages at least once a day for two hours is not good. And if you don't give enough time, you have zero chance at even thresholds.
The VP should be doubled.
I can't imagine how hard this would be for a reasonably new player. But then, I'm not sure there are many new players.
Just my observations. I highly doubt the game makers will see them.

Well, it’s now the 2nd of November and still waiting. My initial inquiry was on the 26th of October. @STT Community

Remember that they are using an abacus for their calculations, so expect much longer than the current 30 minuttes
I have an old Pentium-200, 32MB RAM and a 4GB Hard Drive in my basement I would gladly donate.
Incredible that you can drop almost 1200 places in the last 5 minuttes of an event from 4xth to this
Maybe a second slot would be a solution. Combined with a skip booster. Or if you haven't any, you could insert a canister of AM. Like a gas can in your car trunk.
As my fleet mate just pointed out, these scores/places are for the previous event, not the current one.
C'mon WRG - push that big red "Event End" button and let us see some results!
