So that last piece of news told us that the Arena of Sompek TFO will be the last that offers coupons for the free ship. I am currently only at 750 coupons since I wasn't available for the end of the first FTFO and the entirety of the second. Even if I did every day of Sompek I wouldn't have enough for the free ship.
I'd like to know what will happen to the accumulated tokens, can I use them for something else in the future or redeem them for a certain percentage off a ship. Or will they just vanish from my rep tab? I'll be pretty annoyed if that is the case.
Thanks in advance

I'm not sure if this will be a recurring theme for STO to do, but I think they're seeing how well this goes over before they decide.
You absolutely have enough time during the 21 day run of Sompek with a minimum of 1050 coupons attainable, and there is bound to be bonus weekends.
I'm afraid not. (2 bonus weekends x 50 = 400) + (21 x 50 = 1050) + 750 = 2,200 so it doesn't look like they'll make it from just running 1 full event + part of 1 event.
The options are:
- buy the rest of the tokens from Cryptic. Be careful not to spend over 2,100-2,400 zen since that's all you'll need to buy a ship during a 20%-30% off sale.
- relax, don't worry about grinding to the max, and hope that the tokens from some future events in 2020 can be used to complete the
Apologies, misread the 750 as left.
- they do another in the future
- and that these points will count toward the next event
Cryptic has become harsher about leftover tokens being used in future iterations of events. So who knows if what you get in the 2019 event will be usable in a 20xx event.I got my coupon and once you get it, you can't accrue any more points. Or at least; I have no counter visible. So that would make me think that everyone will start at 0 if they do do another event.
500 from the C-Store Bundle
1,000 (10 days) from two Bonus Weekends that you must do early on Thursday after patching and ensure you have timed it right to be able to do it on the Monday before the Bonus Weekend expires.
550 for normal daily runs for the other 11 days of the EVENT.

In that case, I don't see why they don't just leave it in place for each FTFO. The, once you have it for your account, it is over. This way, all players will get a chance to get it. Even new players that started playing during the Summer event, and didn't even know it existed.
If you can't get more tokens after collecting the ship token, then it will not hurt anything. Unless they are going to make it a different currency for each year, like they now do for the Summer and Winter events.
Razar.
Maybe they will, but next year it sounds like the progress will be towards an Elachi ship instead of for a T6 ship token? They might only have set up this system to support one "multi event progress counter" at a time instead of several at once.
In MMOs new players are always going to miss out on some past events. That's MMO life. They get new events though.

If you don't get the Free Ship Token by the end of the Sompek FTFO it is lost forever.
