Events

Types of Events

So far four different types of events have been released in Star Trek Timelines. In each event players earn Victory Points which are added to a player's score. The higher a players score the more event rewards they earn. The "protagonists" of the event receive bonusses when participating. Note that the bonus affects all versions of the person: for instance, all versions of Tom Paris (Nurse Paris and Captain Proton Paris) received a bonus in the first event, They Came from the Holodeck - however Nurse Paris received a bonus of 2x (bonus character) while Captain Proton's bonus was 3x (featured character).

• Faction Event - Shuttle Missions
• Galaxy Event - Supply Missions (Chronitons required)
• Expedition Event - Away Team Missions
• Skirmish Event - Space Battles (Intel required)
• Voyage Event - Voyages with occassional Voyage Encounters that will test proficiencies of the Voyage crew.
• Hybrid Event - Event where the type changes from phase to phase (Usually 2 of the 4 above, but can be 3 in a 6 day event)
• Mega-Event - Month long series of events with connected story-lines. Usually features a legendary crew member that is bonus crew for all events.

Faction Event

In Faction Events, players participate by doing the new Shuttle Missions for the faction. These missions now grant both normal rewards, and Victory Points .

At the beginning of the event the difficulty level of shuttle missions is reset to the beginning (for instance the first mission only takes 1 minute and is very simple). The difficulty level will be restored to its pre-event value when the event finishes.

The amount of Victory Points each missions awards increases with its difficulty (from a couple to more than 1000), making it easy for a player with high-ranking crew to amass considerable amounts of points once they're doing difficult missions.

The "protagonists" of the event receive a substantial bonus to their skill when participating on a Shuttle Mission. The event-specific version of the crew gets a 3x multiplier on their skill (including Shuttle Boosts) and the non-event version of the crew gets 2x.

The maximum number of transmissions that can be opened per faction varies with each event, and it's not officially revealed before event start anymore. After start, missions can be opened until error message of "maximum open per faction reached" is displayed. It will be the same maximum number of missions for each faction, when 2 or 3 factions are featured in the event.

The skill difficulty, victory points scored, and time to completion is based upon your current number of successful and failed event shuttle missions in the below table. Each successful shuttle counts as one point, while each failed shuttle counts as -1.5.

Successful Shuttles	Points Awarded	Time to Completion	Points Per Minute

Galaxy Event

During Galaxy Events, players complete Supply Missions, where the playes can earn Victory Points by building special event items. Galaxy Events work in two phases - in the first, the factions will all work together, and in the second, different factions are able to win - and the players' choices influences which faction wins.

Expedition Event

Expedition Events are based on away-team mission mechanics. Expeditions consist of several missions, playing through all of which constitutes a single "attempt." An attempt can be started by spending one event ticket. This grants one hour of play to complete all expedition missions. Each player is granted a set number of tickets each day with the ability to purchase more on a sliding scale of premium currency.

Expeditions are longer than traditional away-team missions. Unlike standard away-team missions each time a crew member completes a node they are they gain an exhaustion debuff, decreasing their stats. If a crew member fails when attempting a node, they will gain additional exhaustion debuffs. Exhaustion debuffs stack and do not reset until an attempt. Expedition missions can be run multiple times in the one hour window, but crew will become fatigued to the point they can no longer complete mission nodes. At this point the attempt can be ended and a new attempt started with another ticket.

One strategy recommended by Disruptor Beam is to hold stronger crew in reserve for the Elite and Epic missions. The harder the mission, the more victory points earned, critical successes also reward more victory points .

The "protagonists" of the event receive fewer exhaustion tokens when completing mission nodes.

Captains who complete all the normal missions during a one hour ticket window are given the opportunity to vote on which crew member will be the next one added to STAR TREK TIMELINES. The vote is weighted by how many Stars earned in missions, so running epic and elite increases voting power.

Skirmish Event

Skirmish Events are based on Space Battles missions. Skirmishes consist of 5 battles, playing through all of which constitutes a single "attempt." An attempt can be started by spending intel. Each player is granted intel that regenerates each day with the ability to get more from Space Battles missions.

Bonus VP can be obtained by: - Using a featured event crew (highest bonus) - Using a variant of the featured event crew or, when applicable, crew with an event bonus trait (medium bonus) - Matching a trait in a specific battle (small bonus)

These various bonuses do not stack and only the highest qualifying bonus will apply. Your ship can only get one bonus from your crew. You will always get the highest bonus of the equipped crew.

Examples:

Battle A: you equip 1 featured event crew, 1 variant (or event bonus trait crew), and 1 crew matching 1 or all traits of the battle. The VP bonus applied will be the one provided by the featured event crew (the highest bonus).

Battle B: you equip 1 variant (or event bonus trait crew) who also matches one or more traits for said battle. The highest VP bonus will apply (a medium bonus).

Battle C: you equip at least one crew matching one or more traits for said battle. A small VP bonus will apply.

“Please note this is a change from the original way in which Skirmish events were designed. After fixing a bug with these events, your feedback helped us to make the decision to change how these events operate. As we continue to test and evaluate Skirmishes, we will assess whether additional modifications are needed.

We hope this brings more clarity regarding Skirmishes, and we are looking forward to your feedback on how this update plays out.”

Hybrid Event

Hybrid Events are two phase events where phase 1 is one type of event and phase 2 is a different type of event. The most common kind of Hybrid event is Faction/Galaxy, and the least common kind is Faction/Skirmish.

Event Character Categories

A “featured character” is one of the featured crew specific to an event, which can also be found in the associated event packs. Featured characters normally receive a 3x bonus in Faction events, a 10x bonus in Galaxy events, or a 2x bonus when critting nodes in Expedition events.

A “bonus character” is any character variant of a featured character OR a character that has the correct trait(s) for the event. I.E. “Vulcan”, “Klingon”, etc. Bonus characters normally receive a 2x bonus in Faction events, and a 5x bonus in Galaxy events. In Expedition events they have a 1.5x bonus when critting nodes.

Characters Pack

It is possible that during the event a special Premium Pack will be offered for dilithium. While this portal works with the same rules as always, it guarantees at least one ultra-rare or legendary "protagonist".

Rewards

There are four sets of rewards: Threshold, Community, Squadron, and Ranked.

Rewards can be very varied. In general, characters, credits, equipment, trainings, and free pulls from the Time Portal can be expected.

• Threshold Rewards are unlocked by gaining a certain number of Victory Points , and players can redeem them immediately. While the first rewards are very basic, the right amount of Victory Points can earn a player epic characters.

• Community Rewards are only present in Galaxy Events. They are unlocked after the community reaches a certain milestone in the event. The milestone can be reached by gathering a specific amount of VP (Victory Points). Often there are multiple Community Rewards which are unlock able at different amounts of Community VP.

• Squadron Rewards are awarded to those who are in Squadrons and their total squadron's rank is high enough. A squadrons rank is based on the total victory points obtained by all its members.

• Ranked Rewards are awarded according to the ranking of all players who participated in the event. The player with most Victory points is awarded the most generous prize, but every player receives something. These rewards are awarded once the event is over.

From December 8th 2016 ranked rewards became cumulative. Now all players who rank in the top 1000 also get four copies of the 4 star crew and three of the 3 star crew, etc. This eliminated the need for the strategy some players had previously used, of holding back to stay out of the top 1000 in order to get to get the 4 star crew.
