    This event will be level 50-60 with advanced and elite queues.

    Right now that is all the info I have.

    I guess I will find out with the rest of you tomorrow.

    Good luck everyone!

    Advanced and Elite queues only? Or will there be a normal too? If there's only advanced and elite then I don't see pugs doing well in this, it was bad enough last year.

    Will people be called exploiters and be rolled back if they deal more dmg in the same amount of time than the average 4k dps Joe? It would really be good to know such things in advance.

    I only have a small fleet, and 14 characters, so I rely on pugs lol.

    I'm feeling your rage about the 300 second timer now... I've got five tabs open, each with replies ready to be posted haha.

    Grrr, 36 seconds... hurry up! 16... Here we go...

    Question regarding the shotgun. With it being, I'm guessing, physical shells being fired, and since the Borg can't seem to adapt to physical impacts, will this weapon be more effective against them?

    Up close yes.

    When he means Level 50 to 60, he means that there will be queues for all three.

    Normal-anyone above level 50 is scaled down to 50.

    Advanced-anyone above level 50 is scaled up to level 60.

    Elite-only for level 60.

    Most people will probably run Normal.

    So the only real prize is the shotgun. Boy I wish you would do a video showing off the shotgun on youtube in a bug hunt. There is no need to do a full 2 hrs livestream event. But this shotgun is a pulse weapon so there is a delay in firing the recoil. Or is this a rapid firing shotgun?

    Would be nice if we could choose 250 delta marks vs fleet marks. Your only giving us 35 marks for delta rep system. Seems very low.

    The initial project (the one which takes 14 'insert grind item here'), rewards 500 Fleet marks, and 250 marks of your choice. So you can take Delta marks if you want.

    What's the point? It is another 14 day grind, just to keep us all logging in. And no doubt it will be the broke version that it was messed up into last time...

    those discounts were specifically for ships, not for dilithium, shotgun and marks.

    i hope this mirror event provides a points booster in levelling up.

    So I'll get rest of the delta marks to my alts and get 50k dil per char. And that means just little over 2 hours of playing time 14 times during the even.
    I can even take a few days off, if it feels boring or I just don't have the time.
    Hooray!
    Galavant!

    I have last year's Mirror Invasion still queued with 7/14 Multidimensional Transporter's filled.
    Same here. 11/14 on multiple chars (I completely lost interest last time around).

    Good to know i only have to do this for three days this time. The Dilithium is just what i need to get an upgrade token for my Fed's Vesta. It's just not fun leveling him in that butt-ugly Dyson Ship.

    Hey Pakled World,

    Last time you ran this event Pakled World, in the middle of this damned event I crashed out due to a bug in the game and had to reinstall. Following that reinstall I came across the damned issue of when patching the patcher sticks and won't download the damned patch WHICH WE HAVE BEEN REPORTING TO YOU FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS AND YOU WON'T FIX!!!!!!!!. I posted on the forums for your help and AM STILL WAITING FOR THE DAMNED RESPONSE TO THAT POST!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never got to finish that event. So will I get to finish it this time or will you TRIBBLE me over again???? Time you sorted your s...t out because as a long time veteran I'm sick of your bugs and ignoring your long time users....

    Do those of us that completed it last time round have to do the 14 days again or can we just go straight to the daily thing?

    I found it fun first time round but soon changed my mind after a week. I was lucky I only came across one AFKer. If those ofus that have completed can do the alternate rep one instead of havnig to do the 14 day one first then yipee. As it is I can easilly beat the amount of dil reward in the same length of time if I wanted to in less time.

    FINALLY!!!!! a positive response. I know for one my fleet will be teaming for this all dang day for the whole event.....50k dilithium on 10 toons=yummy

    Replies prior to this one, including my own, were not negative but merely requests for clarification on lack of delta marks and the stats of the shotgun.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

      My, how quickly some people forget.

      Its so funny reading the replies for this. Hey water under the bridge right. You get a shotgun lol. I have a few in my bank already. Its a Pulsewave weapon for crying out loud.

      Just drop the sniping and attitude already. We've seen enough whining and ******** to believe that the forum is filled with enough spoiled little rich girls to keep a stadium filled with lolicons occupied until the turn of the century.

      Perhaps next time we'll get Picard his Tommy-gun.

      shotgun? cool, will probably be handy in bug hunt, and perhaps work like that the shield pening slug throwing rifle you can craft. sniper and shot bun is the best weapons combo imo, now you can one of each in slug thrower form!


      cant pass up all that dil and fleet marks, an extra 250 of my choice for delta rep is exactly what i'll need too.

      with XP being so scarce, and with how many npcs this map tends to feature, this will probably be a great place to farm XP from wile it lasts, just like the old days

      given all the current circumstances, i must say im looking forward to this

      You know what, I used to love this event, kind of glad they brought it back, even if it's for a short time and the rewards look sweet.


      Also for people moaning about PUGs, well if you're so great and the people are bad in PUGs. Maybe you guys need to learn to carry more. You know because you're so epic.

      half of the players AFK the queue during the mandatory countdown timer until the boss ship appears.

      Oh god I almost forgot about the AFK'ers in this event. Guess I will have to do it with fleet or use a Reddit channel

      Me too. I had fun last time and pugged it the whole time without issues. I still have one toon that needs the DOFF from before.

      The shotgun looks like some good times.
