A simple question: do you have a target for how many omega upgrades you want to craft in the time available? I have six toons and the majority of their gear is Mk XII so I know I'm gonna need many, and however many I get it's not going to be enough. I get the impression there are plenty of people out there who have them by the dozen already

If the game stops jumping for me (each match jumps/shifts particles a number of times), I could get higher scores get better rewards and craft more. As is I have to craft from the floor and work up every day.
Maybe 3 or 4 per toon if I have the time. That's 21 or 28 kits in total in the best case scenario.
I would love to get around 18 done by the end of the event... however, I'm also waiting on tomorrow's patch to see how it affects the potential outcome of the upgrade process.
My skills at the mini game is improving. Picking up shards periodically.
I am beginning to perceive that I can make experimentals in a fraction of the time it takes to get 1 Omega, but the dilithium costs for application makes it still worthwhile.
Mine are too, but it doesn't make boring content any less boring. I don't bother with vlugata for the same reason.
Exchange and its prices:
Common = Average around 40,000 (depends on color). That would mean a sliver would have to be 120,000, a shard 360,000, and a fragment 1,080,000.
Uncommon =115,000 so selling common junk (specializing in best priced color) is better. Turn these into rares to get more EC.
Rare = About 410,000. Sell these on Exchange.
VR = 1,250,000. Sell on exchange.
If you're good and fast at playing this game, it's 8-10mil EC an hour.
I'm not currently selling the stuff, but I might sell for a couple of days and then go back to grinding for upgrades. Can make some good EC which I can use to buy me a couple of things I want from the Exchange.
I get what you are saying of course, but the prices on all of those have been going steadily down since the event began. They've gone down considerably all around the past few days. Varying amounts depending on which thing you look at, but overall, still a lot cheaper from this time last week.
And will only get cheaper starting tomorrow when the patch goes through.
With this situation, the minigame is no longer fun. I do some doffing or set up crafting projects in the mean time. To compare. I did perform well in the winter race, but as I remember, if it was a close finish, I never got the flag, although, I spammed the f button.
The whole minigame is no more than a crafting project. The only difference is the mats are just beside you. Anyway, I like this game and play it a lot, though I am not in a hurry.
I think I agree on that one.
Compared to other methods in this game to get upgraders this event stuff is boring to tears and not even remotely profitable.

I'll probably do the Daily on my other Fed char, just to have a stock of Qmendations for next year. i think right now I have a grand total of about fifteen or so of the particles in all colors.
and having cryptic rubbing their hands and with glee on their face you start legitimizing their sorry state of a grinding system. no thanks, my personal omega goal is simple, not bothering with grinding this and that any more then i have to at minimum. and anything i get i sell off.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
No matter what i do the mini game just does not work for me. I have 15ms lag and 60fps solid according to showfps but the game is glitchy. Whenever the pieces speed up they jump forward by about 1/3 the board length or more.
I wonder if it is because I am not in the USA right now but no matter the reason the best I can do on the minigame is about 800 and at this point you get the same reward as doing nothing.
The combines take too long to do and too many have to be done if you have to do traces all the time so I gave up on the event.
I know they tried to make a different kind of grind for this event but I just can't do it and gave up on it.

Kits are account-bound and can't be traded, so once you craft them, you are pretty much required to use them. It would be nice if they weren't, following the premise of the other kits.
I will craft a few kits for myself for a couple of stuff I want to try taking to Epic quality.
