I'm doing the grind and collecting every couple of hours. Also, if you can check in every couple hours, the short tasks have better payout per hour rates. I haven't payed attention to it, but what Aaron said about keeping the streak going with Borg Stewie makes sense. A few days ago I noticed Lois's 1 hour is a major payout. You get 50 in 1 hour (which 50 is normal for a 24 hour task). Unless you really need her for items, I'd keep her on that task. Currently she only generates the gown thing (but those come easily in the Sonic Showers), or a orange crystal (a few others have this task along with the 2 rooms), so really should be utilizing this task instead. Only if you are away from the game for 6 hours at a time should you just use the crystal task. ___ I'm particiarlly happy they adjusted the phaser game. I just got Quagmire's costume this morning after needing close to 30 space condoms when this phase started. They adjusted the new ship to throw the items out and only needing 1 crystal per item again. So I ramped up orange crystal production and got him done, and only need 6 more of the item for Data. So finally will be caught up and moving along. Dr. Crusher I got on Saturday, so time for the catch up on the quest lines before being actually able to collect what I need them too. I just got Lois free and the 1hr and 4hr tasks say 5D? I put her on the 1 & I'll check my count to see how much it goes up. edit Lois only gave me 5D for 1hr. |

Just got 750 D with Meg all by herself, now if that would happen more often than not I might be able to get my quota for the week. I got 450x2 with Meg, nothing with the others (so far) and a lot of 15D @10 tries so far. Edit Just got 750D from Meg & Peter. |

It was patched recently then, when I needed the D to pay for Crusher, I spammed Lois' 1 hour task getting 50 each time. Seems like it was patched over the weekend when Lois was needed to be part of the story again. |

It's not an always drop but you can get one or both (with 2-3 people sent, hasn't happened for me yet). So even if the 4hrs only pays out 15D, when it does pay big it's more than you could have gotten in the same amount of time. |

That's the goal, but first all the characters have item drops and quests to finish before I can utilize this thing. Just getting Quagmire and Crusher spawned up a bunch of quests to do and they are also working towards data and Stewie at the moment. I'll need to be utilizing the trick soon, but still need 2 more bottle things for Stewie. Those just aren't dropping for me, while the other 2 items continue to drop despite having them completed. |

Patrick Stewart now drops cat food for Data and George Takei drops condoms for Vulcan Quagmire. Both 8hr tasks I think.

Unlocked Data today with less than 2 days before the next Warp Core upgrade. Got Herbert skin sending Troi alone. Already at Starfleet Level 10. Still need about 90 dark matter and 5K crystals short of Kirk-- hope I get him before the event ends. Going to be close.

Well, looks like I won't finish the event. Still need 16 more disks and 8 more anti-virus things. Those are taking forever, let alone needing 4k in gems (have 4k saved, but will be going to Stewie once those final 2 sunscreens drop (over 2 days now haven't gotten 1).

FYI & BTW when tomorrow's last content releases try to have the boss ready to finish around the same time, so when you collect and wait 4hrs you'll get the level 4 boss. If you don't do it right you might get level 3 boss again.
Remember
1: When you get down to the last 4 bars clear 1 at a time and reassign immediately.
2: You can have up to 4 people fighting in the 4hr cool down time before the boss resets.
3: If you only have 1 bar left use someone who only get 1-2 bars vs 2-4. (The last boss took me 8hrs to beat /w 4hr cool down and all 5 people)
3: Once you collect the last battle (tomorrow) the 4hr cool down starts and if the new content hasn't dropped yet you'll get stuck with 3 again
4: mind your own timer, if your boss is going to expire first it's better to have to do 3 again than start over with 1.

Only have 2 people to fight. Stewie's costume is taking ages. Its been about 3 days of just needing sunscreen, but not dropping. Data is taking ages too since the disks required 50 (when I initially only had 1 person contributing), and also the antivirus software only having 2 (now 3) and still need 8 of those despite resetting them over 6 times daily. Then I won't have 4k in D since Stewie requires 4k and I only have 4k now. |

Will defeat him one more today and two more times tomorrow before the update (I hope) and will only need less than 50 dark matter to unlock Kirk! I have almost 14K D saved up for him! Almost at the finish line! |

Almost at the finish line! I doubt that it'll be smooth sailing for the rest of the event. Not only will we have to get Consuela's Borg skin but also Scotty and Khan, one of which will probably be premium (I'm guessing Khan) plus I swear I saw a picture of Joe with Borg skin somewhere. This is TinyCo we're talking about. They're not about to let up now. |

I feel your pain Carter. I have all the things required for Data except the crystals. I'm in the same boat with Stewie, I think I only need 2 more sunscreen but again there's another 4000 crystals needed and I only have about 3000. Question is do I say to heck with Data and Stewie and just try to get Picard? Wouldn't a currency to crystal converter be amazing for this game!!

I'll be glad when this event is done. Too much grind.. Drop rates suck.

I hope we can convert the yellow cubes to dilithium crystals as I have nowhere else to spend those yellow cubes on and I have over 250 of them.  |
