New Borg Red Alert - 6 FM?

fruitvendor12fruitvendor12 Member Posts: 615 Arc User
I just did one of the red alerts, for the Borg. First, auto-team is great.

But.

I got six fleet marks for it. Yes I had just done a daily for fleet marks, but six for another mission? Please tell me this is a bug.

    Where? I haven't seen a Borg or tholian red Alert pop in a week.
    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.

    They work now but not worth doing.

    No bonus XP either... I hope this isn't going to stay like this. Use RA's bonus XP to finish off leveling a ship or toon.

    Not sure being teamed makes up for lack of bonus XP, sure it's better than being solo in a no bonus situation but still...

    Not to mention, borg RA's used to move about so possible to do a couple in a 30 min period, now it's borg incursion queue and you can't run a second until timer resets.

    The Tholian gave me a Choice of Fleet, Romulan or Nakura. I selected Fleet and got 5 (always) 10 (Queue Award) and 55 (Daily). Got two 480 Dilitium Awards

    The Borg gave me Omega - 10 (Queue) and 55 (Daily) Omega. Then a select from all the Marks, I took Delta and got 5 Fleet (seems like the always) 1 Delta (Queue Award) and 55 Delta (Daily) and a Normal Queue R&D Package. Each of the two Awards also gave 480 Dilitium.

    There is the 30 minute cool down.

    The queues ruined them.

    There is absolutely no consistency in how and what they Award. Tholian not giving the Normal Queue R&D Package, and not two Awards. Borg R&D and two Awards.

    Did this mission NOT have a Unimatrix in it perchance? There IS a Borg DSE now, it's not as hard as the actual red alert, and gives crappy loot. the best thing you can get is blue R&D mats.

    Unimaxtrix was there. Defeat four groups then the Command Pickle.

    Yes it is strange I got 6, 2 and 66 fleet marks for the Tholian
    Then just 6 and 12 for the Borg one. Both in the Alpha quadrant

    You have a 20% Mark Booster in place.

    Correct, they're pretty cheap to obtain on the exchange

    I've been picking Fleet Marks and it's been awarding more than 6!

    If you pick the Fleet Marks as part of the secondary award with the Mark Choice Box for the Borg Red Alert and you don't have a Daily Bonus you will get 6. 5 that you always regardless of what choice you make for the Box, plus 1 for the regular award from the Mark Box.

    Sigh... thanks for the confirmation.

    One FM is an insult. I hope they treat it as a bug.

    I can attest to this. After i get the daily bonus of omega marks while the bonus is on cooldown and further attempts gets me 6 marks then 1 mark. Not worth it at all.

    So the Borg RAs no longer have an XP boost?

    Borg and Tholian RAs no longer seem to be xp boost zones.
