Making a voyage event a single phase is a good change. A two-phase voyage event seems completely unnecessary and only adds frustration to the consensus least favorite active event type.
It'll help, but I don't think it'll be enough to stop it being the least favourite.
Look at the poll results. Specialist missions are least favorite. Voyage events are running neck and neck w/expedition events for next to last.
No Kidding. The way Specialist mission is setup, no extra incentives.... just spend chronos... at least with faction you get something from the shuttles, skirmish you get something from each ship battle, and galaxy, though you have to build you get at least other components while farming.
Positive on specialist events: 4 hours of tapping to grab all the rewards, then a free weekend.
The one thing that's missing are the community rewards.

Absolutely. Which I why I ranked specialist ahead of both faction and voyage. Tedious timesinks, both of them. But apparently the community disagreed, which is yet another reason why democracy can't be trusted.
Please note, I'm not saying specialist events are good. Just that faction and voyages are worse.

From galaxy, you don’t get useful items. You either have the items needed (probably hundreds or thousands of them) or you warp10 for the items you need to build other useless event items.

I bet they will lower the VP gained by each mission as the event type goes live.
The 5k VP were probably added for the short 2 day test.

Do you think your warps of the missions to get those items are not dropping a number of other items, as well? Those missions provide items for equipping crew, as well.

Also worth remembering the credits you get. I can get over 1M credits in Galaxy events. Not as much as skirmishes but still useful for CR.
