    Yes with the fastest floater it's possible to just about fit in 3 hunts in the time period if you're lucky.
    On the other hand, consider how many extra hunts you'd have to do to break even if you spend 3,000 favors on floaters. Unless you're going to be doing a lot of favor farming, it may be better to use 50f floaters and save the rest for whatever you actually want to buy.

    True enough. But as it's an annual event it's good value to buy the best kit as soon as possible and reap the rewards in later years.
    Plus doing more hunts means more chances of eggs which means more marks packages as well. So the payoff is not just the lohlnuts.

    Two of the accolades is watching fireworks on the dock near dusk and the other is watching the Kligon and Trill arguewhich happens during the early morning, for these just switch between instances or ask in zone chat.

    Don't get too worked up about the powerboard race.

    Speaking of which , what's the power (not the Risa tribble) that grants you a bit of a speed boost ?
    I seem to remember in the winter event races , ppl glowing a bit green and able to run a bit faster .

    That's from the counter command rep armour, caused by doing a roll. I don't think that would affect the powerboard though.

    Well , like I said , I don't know what caused the speed imbalance with the powerboard race , but I remember throwing my hand in the air , thinking : "great , now the summer race is imbalanced too" .
    *this was while using "Elite" power boards .

    I remember people using faster computers/connections using visual effects to slow down others. That's all the input I have on that.

    I went down to start setting up on Risa and got disconnected 4 times in less than 10 minutes. Anyone else getting this?

    Not me. I got all of mine to Risa and only had one disconnect. Nothing unusual there.

    Hopefully I can sneak one more CCA in there in the morning before maint. Only need one more shard for the crystalline spike kit module.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.

    You do know hoverboards aren't limited to the EVENT right? You can use them all year round. They are only limited to use on Risa.

    I have not seen the problem recurring. It was in the casino floor by the commodity broker. The worst disconnects I've ever seen in these many years.

    I haven't had any problems, disconnect-wise or lag-wise. Risa works perfectly for me, so far.

    And I spent some time last night whizzing around on my Mattel hoverboard through the race course just to get back in practice. Also whirred around in my floater to make sure I remembered how to use it.

    Got lots of Flying High to do and lots of favors to grind.
    Now a LTS and loving it.

    Summer Event Tip No.467 - If you see a smiling blue Gorn on the beach, give up any hope of sandcastle building.

    Meh... just sic a Risian Feather Monkey on his face. :p

    While Rattlers tip will work for some of you, another that may work for others is, leave it in RPG mode, hold down both mouse buttons, and you have your full X/Y/Z axis control through mouse movement, and no need to use the move forward key.​​

    This!!!!!!!!! And all the rest of the event is soo simple no tips are needed.

    New thing added this year: you now have THREE places you can beam to! The dock. the promenade, and Qwen's tent.

    I don't like Qwen anyway. Or any Ferengi, for that matter.

    You can also repeat Flying High for 20 favors, while it's on its daily cooldown.

    which i believe is new, because i don't recall being able to do that last year​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    Nope. Before you only had the daily. You can also do sand castles any time for 20 favors. Both have a 15 minute cooldown, I think.

    So the potential for earning favours is much increased this year it seems.
    Sand castles, then an extra 20 outside of the event. Dancing, the horg'ha hunt, the artifact hunt and finally doing the flying high when it's on cooldown. Anything else?

    Yeah, the sand castles are no longer there.​​

    I primarily focus on the dance and the Horga'hn Hunt. I am trying the artifact hunt to determine if is worth doing for the long run. Thus far 4 minutes is my best time and 13 minutes is my worst time for the artifact hunt.

    Yeah found this out after I posted. I had noticed it was missing from the event list, so assumed.​​

    Yeah, so far the artifact hunt seems to be extra wonky because of the weird way that scanner works. Even if it's a long ways away the scanner will sometimes point to the side of where it's actually located.

    Is there a bonus 400 vouchers to start you off this year? I'm sure some of the other events had a bonus. Because 40 a day to get to 1000 is a long time.

    No. Just like the winter event, its only 40 a day. And there is plenty of time to finish with some wiggle room.
    Just need to do the daily 25 times.
