bonus mark event ?

usscapital

is the bonus marks event working correctly in the normal borg stf's ? , just done 2 and got only 24 omega marks . seems a little low when the event is on ?

That sounds like your reward for getting the optional. The om reward for completing an stf should be closer to 70 I believe.

Did you pick up your loot at the end as that has your om reward for completion of the stf?

It's working, and as packer3434 mentioned, make sure you pick up your loot at the end to get your marks for the run. Marks from the optional are automatically put into your Mark totals and reflected in the chat window when you complete the optional.

The loot you pick up at the end contains the Marks, Dilithium, any gear rewards and Borg Neural Processors (if on Elite).

Normal runs reward a minimum of 20 Omega Marks, so 24 marks for the run during the bonus event sounds about right. Elite is a minimum of 60 OMs when the event is not running. There is also a chance to get more as part of the random loot roll when you collect your rewards at the end. And if I'm not mistaken, successful optionals give you a 25% bonus of the minimum Mark rewards.

Like I mentioned above, there is a chance for extra Marks from the random loot roll when picking up the container at the end. You probably got lucky and received extra Marks there

so 24 is during the event inc the optional ? , just done it on another toon after the event had ended and got 4 omega marks for the optional and 19 for the stf . so 1 omega mark is the flat bonus amount while the event is on ?

The optional completion marks are not given in the loot bag you open at the end -- they are automatically put in your "assets" tab total after the optional is complete. Best to check your Mark count before you start, and then after. Or watch the chat box when the optional completes as it shows your reward there too.

But yes, that sounds right for a Normal run. When the bonus was on, it sounds like you got 24 for the base run as that was what was in your loot drop you had to collect.

EDIT: And I should say "normal space" runs. Ground awards more.

No problem! And to summarize, this is what it sounds like you received based on your posts:

NORMAL SPACE RUN

• While bonus was on: 24 (~20 standard, 4 from bonus) (not including the optional, so optional probably got you around 5 more?) | Total ~29
  
• When bonus was not on: ~20 standard + 5 for the optional. | Total ~25

So all sounds correct

EDIT: Also, you're going to see better bonuses when running Elite versions.

I got 19 + 4 = 23 so something is not right for me as it does not add up to 24 , 24 is all I got so I am 1 short lol

If want the most marks you need to do the hard missions on Defera in the invasion zone. If you use Fleet bonus Marks pools in conjunction with the event you can get a lot of Fleet Marks compared to any other place in the game I think...
