partial payout for partial event completion

well, i borked myself again.
before they changed things, each character on an account needed to complete the winter and summer events to get the rewards. at the beginning of the mirror event, i ASSUMED (yeah, i know, i gotta stop doing that,) that the same was true of the mirror event, so i didn't even bother running most of my alts through it. 5 days in my misconception was corrected, and now it's painfully clear that at least 2 of my alts can't possibly finish, and another 9 are gonna have a seriously hard time doing so.
so why bother even trying? this reminds me of when i first joined the STO comunity. I didn't even participate in the current event at that time because i didn't have enough time to run through it as often as i'd need to in order to claim the reward.
so, how about a consolation prize for those that tried but didn't quite finish the race?
What i'm suggesting here is a currency/marks payout at the completion of the event based on the percentage of the event completed--even without the item/console/ship reward for doing the whole durn thing, SOME kind of a payout would encourage participation, and allow those of us that have made a false start recover a modicum of self respect in the face of our inadequacies. Even a token reward would be nice.
i know that supposedly, you'll have the opportunity to complete it next time around, but as we've all seen, things have a way of changing....
