Here's a nice little reward. Missed like 3 particles this time. Still haven't got a perfect score on it, but getting there. 
Wonder what it gives at 3000 particles caught?

Are you using a mouse?
I have received several blues, which is nice.. but I think they nerfed the Fragment drops into complete non-existence.
Has anyone had a Fragment drop yet?
Yes. I got Fragments; two or three from last night and one this morning before going to work.
Same here. I use the moose and still I seldom get over 700
Same here... I only do this for the event and avoid this mini-game like the plague. It's just terrible.
Hmm.. that's interesting.
Normally, I would assume I just had bad luck, but the sheer volume of games I have played with high scores makes it unlikely. I'll see if I get any today, thanks for the information.
In fact I got a Shard last night with a measly score of something like 1,650 'cause I started coughing in the middle of the mini-game.
yes.
you have to get over 1000 before a chance at silver happens, and near 2000 0r over for a chance at a shard. I say usually because the the chance is there at lower points, but less likely, and it isn't certain you will get one even with high score. games not rigged, it's technique. try shrinking your screen if you have trouble. only a thought. not what I do.
I must have had a bad luck day yesterday. I just went back in and farmed for about 40 min and managed to get a couple Fragments. I can get them, just the drop rate seems a bit lower to me, but it might just be 'luck of the draw.'
Luckily I'm getting the Shards (Blue's) right and left, so I'm good.

Basically the best prize you can get is a fragment. There is a small chance to get a fragment or a shard after 1300 points. However I find that the odds go way up at 2000-2300. I play around an hour a day and typically get 2 or 3. There is no special prize for getting a perfect score. And my best results come from 2000-2300. I seldom get a shard or fragment at 2700.

yeah the lag is still bad right now. it'll settle maybe by monday. I can only get 1800. last year 2100 was my typical score.

There are several places you can go to get omega particles. The best place to begin is to speak with Q either on ESD, Qo'noS or New Romulus depending on the faction you play. If you want to get the Anniversary Event Ship you will have to do so anyway. Q will tell you to go to 3 locations to collect omega particles. Once done go back to Q to collect 40 Anniversary vouchers, and your choice of 3 rewards; I typically just choose the 500 Dil.
Here's a review of the omega mini-game for the 2016 Anniversary Event. The same basic principles apply to this year's Anniversary.
It does not matter what score you get in the mini-game to complete the daily mission to collect 40 vouchers. The first time you play the new episode for the Reckoning story arc you will get 400 Anniversary Vouchers. You need 1,000 vouchers to claim the ship. The ship is unlocked for your account so any captain on your account can claim the ship. You do not have to speak to Q to play any of the omega mini-games, but if you want the daily Anniversary Vouchers, then you should speak to Q.
At a minimum you will receive 1 omega trace. The color depends on the color of the omega symbol. The highest score you can get in the game is 2,700. The best guaranteed reward will be 3 omega traces and 1 omega sliver. In rare instances you can also get an omega shard and even rarer an omega fragment.
Hmmm... I guess it is simply something you are having a hard time trying to get accustomed to. I find that after a while of doing the mini-game my right arm tends to tense up. When that happens I typically score below 2,000 so every now and then I simply release mouse and shake my arm a bit.
The only mini-game I find that I am bad at is the Summer Event surfboard race (or whatever it's called). I basically don't bother doing it. Instead during that time I run CCA to get some quick and easy Dil.
All I see are particles moving before my eyes, and I logged out an hour ago.
As per last year I see optical haemorrhage in my future....
"If this will be our end, then I will have them make SUCH an end as to be worthy of rememberance! Out of torpedos you say?! Find me the ferengi!".
52 Blue, 208 Red, 50 Yellow, 59 Silver, and about 17 Fragments.
Haven't played today, due to still seeing the stupid things.
Problem I had was in finding them to run the minigame in the first place. Then it dawned on me to use the V key and simply follow the dumb scan.
If you truly cannot get over a score in the mid-600s, then unfortunately the best advice I can give is to actually not bother trying to score anything in the omega mini-game. With a bit of testing it seems you need to have a score of at least 920 in order to get two omega traces. Anything below that including a zero score will result in only one omega trace.
I have two STO accounts. What I do is I actively play the omega mini-game on my primary account. On my secondary free to play only account I simply start the mini-game and let it run. After the 50 second timer is up I get my 1 omega trace. Assuming I am in an Omega Particle rich area where I can simply park in place for a very long time, I am able to get 50 (or more) omega traces every hour on my secondary account while I focus on my primary account.
Depending on which desktop and laptops I use to play STO I basically use either a wired Logitech G500, wireless Logitech Performance MX, or bluetooth HP X4000b mouse.
I am currently listening to the audiobook novelization of the Alien movie (my favorite of the 4 movies) to pass the time while playing the mini-game on both of my accounts.
I considered this. Been listening to one of C.J. Cherryh's old books: The Faded Sun: Kesrith, while playing over the past few days. Tried to find a good Space Opera type, but nothing seems up to par with Rachel Bach's 'Paradox' series, Mark E. Cooper's "Merkiaari Wars", or David Weber's "Honor" series. And although I like Star Trek film and games, the books can be focus-intensive and confusing when you are only half focused on them.
