... and not simply 25?

To clarify, we get 40 vouchers per race, meaning 25 races for 1000. You can buy packs with Lobi, which come with a random number of vouchers between 2-6 vouchers which are however completely useless since you need 40 to complete the next "step". So why not simply raise the price of the 5 Lobi packs to 35-50 Lobi (best case - worst case) for "1 voucher" and simplify the system?

When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
(It should be added that it's inconsistent with the way you need 14 Crystalline Shards or similar for other events, agreed)
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.

"pfff who would do that?" - I did last year. It wasn't too bad, but the 4am shift was the killer
Wait, I thought I was getting it on the 20th, time to check in with my Math Teacher.

Honestly, I prefer the way the do the anniversary event, some vouchers granted when playing the mission and then you can do the daily to get the rest... feels less of a grind... I wish the winterland and summerland had something similar going for them, a mission tied around them to grants a decent amount of vouchers. But hey, here's wishing right!
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

It's funny because, personally, I find the 1000 voucher number more daunting then the 25. Admittedly, I purposely avoided doing the math to figure out exactly how many times I would need to do the race. So thanks for that! Where was the spoiler alert damn it!
I'm not rich at all, but stockpile Lobi from any lockbox openings for just these times. This way, I can miss a day once in a while due to any issue.

Sure thing. So why not make it a million? It shouldn't matter for Q
Yes, but the thing is buying vouchers with Lobi is completely useless. You can never be, say, 18 vouchers short. It's always 40, 80 and so on depending on how often you missed out. The only reason you can be 18 vouchers short is when you have purchased a number during the event, but not enough to fill up 40. So at this point, being 18 short, you need to run the race to get 40 one more time anyway, and you can't take vouchers into the next year, so... it is entirely useless to purchase vouchers with Lobi to save you a race of 2 minutes tops. The only way to really make it count is to have at least 30-50 Lobi lying around to get to 40 vouchers, and at that point they could just make it a 30-50 purchase for one voucher...
@fluffymoof your character is so pwetty

you cant buy Crystalline Shards or similar with lobi so there is no need to increase the quantity to make it an undesirable option like there is with the seasonal events.
if you could buy these tokens with lobi you would find that you need a lot more all of a sudden.

maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,

Obviously, if you'd read the OP, it wouldn't be a reduction to 25 vouchers and Lobi purhcases would stay the same. You could just as well have said "Lol, it would only take one race then".
However, the 1000 vouchers just seem unnecessary, especially, as others pointed out, the other events require 14 thingies. I understand that this was maybe relevant back when we could save currency from one event to the next, but this is impossible now.

as I said before, if they made it so you only need 25 tokens to get the ship you would only need at worst 13 purchases of the token packs that can be purchased with lobi that hold the ship tokens and probably considerably less, even if they made it so you only got one token per pack you would still only need to open 25 packs.
requiring 1000 vouchers means you need anywhere from 500 packs to 167 packs depending on how lucky you are so players are more likely to play the event rather then just buy the ship with lobi as gaining lobi costs money.
as mission tokens from mirror, breach and crystalline cannot be purchased with lobi there is no need to artificially inflate the required amount as the only way to get the tokens is by playing the event which is what the devs want you to do the most.
