    oh wow another red alert. I could have sworn we just had a red alert. is this going to be our standard now?, run a red alert event every other event. there are so many other events saved and on file that you could use instead of a red alert event.

    Most regular Events run for three weeks and certain Events must run at specific times of the year. This means there will be gaps of one or two weeks between events and the Red Alert event has clearly been made to fill those gaps.
    I'm surprised you've not noticed this before now...

    Does anyone need Experimental Starship Upgrade tokens still?!? Maybe if they replaced that with an Elite Captain's token, it might be wroth running. 2 weeks of grind for stuff no one really needs is definitely a pass.

    yes. i just returned to the game, when i left those didn't exist yet. it'd be better to make it a choice. get an experimental ship upgrade or a captain upgrade or say 2-4 boff upgrades.
    Now clowns, that's another story. They scare the cr​ap out of me.
    We fight them too. Entire armies spilling out of Volkswagens.
    We do our best to fight them off, but they keep sending them in.

    It would be nice if they alternated the Red Alert fillers with ones that characters less than level 50 can do, especially when they fill a gap between a recruitment event and the next one.

    This.

    Or just let us take below-level 50 characters into RA's. It's not like it would be a struggle to complete the content if there's one player present who can't vaporise everything instantly...

    Agreed.

    Why not use Fleet Alert, or things like Starbase Incursion instead?

    Or maybe the New Romulus RA's.

    Or even longer missions like the Borg ground ones. There's plenty of stuff that's rarely promoted. It's always the same handful of missions.

    I was thinking the same yesterday.

    It would be nice if they could include a few more options. A captain token might be too much, since many people don't have that many toons. I would suggest adding options like a Boff elite token, Fleet ship module or an additional spec point (so you get two of those instead of 1).


    We've had a lot of ship upgrade tokens already. Keep them as an option for those who don't play all the events and might need more of them - but don't forget about the players who are present for every event and therefore in need of something else to keep them interested.

    i'm not saying i won't run it but we could just as easily run any other tfo for the same 10 completions and choice of marks.i would just like them to break up the repetativness a little. one where we can run the fleet alert and such would be a nice change of pace. don't complain about the x upgrade too much we get 3+ free ships a year from events and now we need 3 upgrades to max the ship out. i'm glad for the few i have saved in the bank and now i'm ready to make more of the toons that give you a free one also hehe.
