Red Alert starting with 5 days of progress.

Seems that because there was a mix up with the last RA and it was extended that this one is starting with progress already made. Today is the first day of the new event and I had 5 days' worth of progress when I logged in.

I don't see this as a bad thing, but just a bug that I'm bring to the Dev's attention.

Yeah, I already had 7/10 progress when I logged in on the first day of this Red Alert. So as it stands, I'll be collecting the rewards on Thursday, only three days into the event. This kind of thing happened once before a couple of Red Alerts ago too.

Also not complaining though!

I believe this is an artefact of the last Red Alert event ending early and them turning it back on.
When it was turned back on, it had the dates for the current Red Alert instead of the one we'd had.
I had 4 days of extra Dil from that prior run, and that 4 days is where I'm starting this time.
It isn't really a bug, as the event is working normally anyway.

The weird thing with the last time this happened to me (it was in February - just looked back at a comment I made elsewhere at the time) was that I was able to claim the rewards twice during a single run of the event. Starting the event at 8/10 I played two days, claimed the goodies and progressed up to 17,000 bonus dilithium before the progress bar inexplicably dropped back to 9/10 - this allowed me to complete it again and claim the rewards a second time. After the second claim the bonus dilithium continued from the 17,000 I'd been at previously and I played out the final few days as normal. Odd to say the least, but I must admit, quite nice too!😏

Just an update to say that my progress bar has dropped back to 8/10 today, having already completed and collected the rewards once last week. So it's looking likely I'll be picking up a second set tomorrow once I hit 10/10 again. Same kind of thing as with the last two week Red Alert.
