Ugh...it is just too much. The event just started, and between the A.S.S. (Admirality Ship System) and this, i'm getting wrecked. This is a very alt-unfriendly event; It's just too much. I am particularly curious why a ship will be allowed for an unlock if ONE toon runs the event to the end but a piddly rifle CAN'T be?

Mussstt..... refrain..... from making jokes.
Awwwww...c'mon, man!!!1
I.E. You go the Undine lockbox ship card on Character A? Now so do Characters B - ## (upon hitting 52)
The cards are bound to characters... so we can't move them to support another character.
We're still limited to X time by the number of projects that can be run etc.
Now I'm just thankful I'll only need 14 days worth of tediousness to get my shiny and crate of purple crystals.
Honestly, I'd be grateful if these events were more alt friendly, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
Also worth noting, if the event were made alt friendly like the summer/winter/anniversary events, players would miss out on significant dilithium rewards.
And yet I'd still want an alt friendly system to be implemented... Hmm.
I'm not going to get into Admirality lockbox ships, I don't have any lockbox/Lobi ships (with the exception of an Aeon Timeship shuttle) on my characters. Not being account unlocks I was discouraged from purchasing any long before Admirality launched.
I would mention, though, it makes little sense that a single character ship on one character would unlock an Admirality ship on another... if anything I'd suggest that these single character ships (lockbox/lobi) be made account reclaimable in some way which would solve the Admirality issue, and the issues players have of "which character to I put this ship on?".
Pretty clear someone at cryptic did not think things through in the naming department

Agreed, the weirdo Mirror Crystal event is fine. But since the fact that Mirror invasion is, in effect, a 15 minute, time-gated cutscene, it just makes it annoying. I mean, does your SB surviving and closing portals effect score/payout in any meaningful way?
Actually the Crystalline event is preferable to the Mirror event for 'alt friendliness', agreed. I mentioned it only because you still have to do it 14 * (number of characters) to get the rewards on your characters. Which after a while does get tedious.
But still, the Crystalline is better than Mirror for this, so you are right there.
Agreed x2!
I want the rifle, but running it on my three characters is already getting tedious..
We named it "Admiralty." That's it. I will go on record as not condoning other acronyms currently in use.

I would take CE anyday as opposed to MU. CE does not take too long and you can swap alts easily. MU is not alt friendly at all and takes 3X as long as CE...specially with that darn built in timer...the agony of waiting is just frustrating as opposed to CE.
Most unexpectedly, this turned into a flame-fest! Closed it goes!. /sigh What flamefestery is this? pwlaughingtrendy
I would say the BIGGEST reason that Mirror Crystaline event is so much better...is that the players actually effect how long the mission is, as there is not time-gate artifice. THAT is my biggest issue with Mirror Invasion. Just a big cutscene.
Ops. Double post. plz delete.
Your father was captain of a starship for twelve minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mother's, and yours.
I dare you to do better.
Amazing, insightful advice! I didn't know what to do until now. Thanks!
Me too, but what about two admirals (Federation) enter into a bar and after several drinks one person said "Tell me, what planet did you come from?" and the other one said "I come from the north part of Vulcan". "Really? so do I! What school did you go to?" " Vulcan Science Academy." "Wow same!" This conversation went on similarly. The barman turned to another customer and said:
"It's going to be a long night. The Spocks brothers are drunk again!"
(A small variation on an Irish joke)

My problem is the small amount of marks you get vs the time invested

True, that should help.
For the duration of the event i use ships with completely different play style on each of my characters. One torpedo bomber, CC, BFAW build and classic DHC. By using those different build the event is less repetitive.
