The universe has a wonderful sense of humor. The trick is learning how to take a joke.
I'm just doing it for the Dilithium and Marks. If you don't have time to do it, don't do it. The larger events with bigger prizes like the Nandi, Sarr Theln, etc have all had at least twice the amount of days required. The CE Event isn't one of them, it's just a fun thing to do. If you don't have time, then just skip it.
funnily enough I work 6-8 days over a 9 day stretch and always at least 12hrs a day, if I can find the time each day to do this event with 6 characters and still find time to watch a movie after you should have no problem.
especially as you have 7 days over the top to complete the main mission or reap the bonuses as I will.
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.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
though I agree the "main prize" is not that great it`s worth it for the dilithium & marks imo, how can you turn your back on 64k of dilithium.
add to that the marks that can also be exchanged for dilithium and that's before you factor in the marks you get each day when you run the mission itself, you will wait a long time for any other thing with such a high total payout.

Yep, that's why I'm doing it. Easy money.
Main reward Dil: 50.000 Dil
Main reward Marks: 250 = 2500 Dil
Advanced PvE Dil Rewards/run: 720 Dil -> 14 runs = 10080 Dil
Advanced PvE Mark Reward/run (including daily & optionals) 130 -> 14 runs = 1820 Marks = 18200 Dil
Total: 80780 Dil/character
Total/run breakdown (advanced): 5770 Dil
Average match duration in DPS or fleet channel (incl. waiting time in lobby): 3-5 minutes
Dil/minute: 1154 – 1923 Dil
That’s hard to beat elsewhere in STO for the time being.
I play the event with nine toons and also have a full time job, girlfriend and offline friends which hate STO. It’s 27-45 mins for me/day. I also consider it fun because my 9 ship builds simply are and I’m not doing it alone.
The event will reward me with ~0,73 Million Dil
Cheers.

Shh, keep it quiet or it'll get nerfslapped next time!
I'm an Arc user? Yeah, right..I'd rather eat a chainsaw, blade first
having said that doesn't it show what a difference a good incentive makes to get players queing for this mission, perhaps cryptic should take a long look at the rewards for other qued pve missions and see if they can make the rewards for them more attractive to players, wouldn't it be great to see the ques buzzing with activity again.

Yeah there's not a soul doing Bug Hunt and that used to be one of my three go-to queues (infected space, khitomer ground, bug hunt). It was easy, fast and rewarding.
That could be because everyone is queueing CC though. There's hundreds in the queue + playing at any given time.
money is not a concern to me, im not held to the idea of greed. so appealing to that side of me was never going to happen. if the day comes when currency is abolished, i would hapily burn those paper notes.

Cannot speak for anyone else, but lately the lag in bug hunt was getting beyond ridiculous.
I tried to move, had to wait a few second, moved again, waiting. After a while you get sick and tired of it.
I'd rather you posted 'em to me. In fact feel free to post me anything with the Queens head on...
Except the Queen obviously, she would't fit in the postbag.
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.

problem was the ques have been pretty quiet for a long time even when there is no special event running.

Absolutely i'm doing it for the dil mainly and its also an easy alternative to farming Iconian Marks for the mo. By the time the event ends i will have enough marks across my acc for both space and ground sets and probably some left overs to convert for more dil
That happens to me in CC too, mostly at night EDT. Sometimes it's so bad the entire instance seems to freeze (even though I can still hear things going on) and I have to kill the process.
I've already made way more than 64K dil off this event and we're only on day 6. The main prize is worth it if you run ground PvE maps.
Especially considering how expensive the Trait and Research Unlocks are with the new Fleet Holding. Im going to be grinding for months to get everything I want (Embassay Consoles, Research Unlock, Ship Trait Unlocks, Space/Ground Reputation Unlocks etc.) and I have quite a few 25k Fleet Credit Pools.
Lol ok, here we go…
Dear Captain GEKO,
I hereby formally request that you nerf the payout for next Crystalline Cataclysm event. As you may have noticed ~1k Dil/min are enough to make players, even long term off-liners, log into your horribly broken game.
I can provide you with similar Dil/time breakdowns for other activities in STO. Please note in advance that an income below 0,5k Dil/min result in a rejection of the endgame contend as far as the average STO player is concerned.
Perhaps its time to settle on some more appreciated, equally distributed, rewards throughout the game. Or are event payouts to temporarily tune game participation that important to the business you run?
“Queued PvE maps are not worth the effort” is the burden of your best expansion ever. Unfortunately it’s the only endgame contend this game has. The rest can’t even hold up to 2,50 € smart phone apps. Curious if it’s enough to justify ship purchases of dull looking Tier 6 crafts in the future.
Respectful, or what’s left of it
