I am doing this 4 times.. so the 4 toons is the only ones I got.
I am actually very thankful for this extra dil income. I don't get that much dil in normal cases unless I grind for a very long time..
Finally, I could get something in Z-store or getting me some fleet items. I will probably however invest in the account bank, which is 1000 Zen. But preferably I would like to get myself a new Zen store ship (the only ones I got is the one that was given away during that special week) or unlock joined-trill species.
Having that said.. Doing 4 STF every day for 14 days I could get the same amount of dil .. lol
So.. really I am just doing it for the fun of it and getting that doff.
My only regret is that I don't have more than one science officer since I decided to test the other careers with the other three. I hope this doff and event returns soon again once I leveled up some science officer.. which is my favorite career.. (but not due to the ships). The choices between the "reachable" science ships could be better. Saldy I can't get the wells for all my science.
Just 1 out of the 6 I have, I'd get the same amount of dil out of doing a couple estfs a day for the same number of days. Only reason I'm even bothering on the one character I actively use is for the doff, just to say I have it.

Doing this on 13 toons....with the 480 dil you get each time you run it plus the 50k per toon at the end...737,360 dil. That's more than what's needed for the trade T3 mine upgrade. Now if it just gave enough marks so my 7 Fed toons could fill the marks portion of the project....lol
I simply don't have the time, energy, and inclination to do this on all of my toons, and some of them are not even high enough level to do it anyway.
I am doing it on 3 Science Officers. (A Vulcan, a Ferengi, and an Orion fly into a system to do it... sounds like the opening line of a dirty joke...).
If my Rom Tac were level 50, I'd be doing it on that one, too. (And the joke just gets dirtier...)

I'm attempting to run it on all 49 of my characters. (Yes I'm at the Cap on my account). I may not pul it off due to rl, but if not I won't shed a tear. I'm not posting the mission until I'm certain a character can send it, so I'll just wait til the next time this event is released to ship it off if I don't make it. That being said, I think with a little lost sleep over the next couple weeks I can probably pull it off. When all is said and done it will be a nice boost to feeding the base. (Although it does nothing to sending off doffs and such). Its certainly monotonous, but then again I find all events monotonous, in large part why I'm not a fan of them even if I run them. Once you narrow our focus (even on one character) to the same task every day it begins to feel more like work and less like fun. I don't know about the rest of you, but I like to hop on the a game and do whatever the hell I feel ilke doing... that's one of the reasons Elder Scrolls and Fallout are my favorite non MMO games. They're not perfect by any means but the sense of Freedom and Exploration you get from those games just seems unparalleled. Back to the point, I only need to run about 30 characters a day I think to accomplish the goal, and its not so hard to get 6 characters done an hour. Its essentially 49*14 or 686 runs of the event. 686/21 days = 32.67 characters I'd have to run every day. To be on the safe side I'd obviously shoot to do more. So you're looking at roughly 5 or 5 and a half hours of monotonous gameplay a day for a few weeks. Its not preferred, but again its good for the base and heck I'm getting nukara marks on all those characters which I planned to do anyway to rep them. (Perhaps just a little more intensely than I'd have done so otherwise).
What would be more interesting is to ask the question in two weeks. It's pretty easy to run through a whole pile of characters for the first day or three - it's after a week that the grinding starts to get to people...

Six. It will take 15-16 days to do it, as I take a break or two along the way.

I use three characters, one from each faction. My Rommie and Lethean are soloing a fleet and were running Crystaline Cataclys/Catastrphy daily anyways - the afker situation isn't that bad and it's one of the few missions that can reward both fleet marks as well as dilithium. The only thing that has changed is now my fed is running it to boost his Tyken's.
All 18 if I can hack it without shooting myself. And I'm only doing it for the dilithium to turn into zen. If I did my math right, that should be enough for a three ship pack.

As long as the exchange rate stays below 205, you're set. Since it's unlikely to get that high, you've got some margin for error.

Well I am running it on 8 toons after all - 1 is at 6 shards so only 8 left - 5 are at 5 so 9 left and 1 is at 4 so 10 left to go - arrghh
Still a lot of runs - and then the Christmas event is right around the corner - if it is as good or better!!! wink wink -then the Breen Chel Ghet - then I am in big big trouble- with 28 toons!
The FE with the carrier is different because thankfully it just has to be done once for each toon.

Nowhere near as bad as the Summer Event was. 9 toons, 25 days, 3 courses each day, 675 courses...
