Nothing was lost.
https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1248800/where-are-the-saved-tokens-points-for-the-free-t6-ship#latest
I never was able to find where the counter was at. I tried to look for it a few times. But after a while I just lost interest in finding it. It's like the endeavor system. I know it's there, and I know that sometimes I might finish part of it. But I don't bother wasting time focusing on it. I just hop in to do my TFO, then log off usually.
Razar.
Yes.
Someone did a math breakdown in another thread, and estimated double point weekends based on the pattern that was established in the first run. Long story short, you can still get the T6 ship even if you did next to none of the Riposte event.
Obviously, if you skipped Riposte entirely, it means you're going to have to hit close to every day of the next 2 queues, but it's definitely possible.
Actually, no, there are no plans at this time to continue the T6 coupon offer past the 3rd FTFO. This whole idea is a test, and no guarantee that it will continue or ever be done again, so participate while you can.

I certainly wouldn't count on a continuation or a re-run, and I agree that anyone who can should finish during the 3 announced TFOs.
But if the test is successful at increasing player login time and event participation then either a continuation for players who joined after the first TFO, or a re-run for even newer players is plausible even if there are currently no plans for it.

In short: assuming a daily run and two bonus weekends per event you'll get 2700-2900, depending on whether or not you can make it 5 bonus days or only 4. So if you're at 300+ you'll be fine. There is of course also the possibility to get 500 coupon buyouts at 1000 zen, but whether it's worth spending 2000 zen on a 3000 ship, possible breaking a pack, should be decided by the players themselves.
My run through Riposte, which I managed to do every day it was on (actually, due to the vagaries of time-zones, I managed to do it 22 times), gave me 1,600 points - no buyout used. I noticed in the thread where people discussed what they had managed to achieve this seemed to be about mid-average, some higher, some lower. A second featured TFO, with two bonus weekends would allow many people to gain the token during that run. If they include another option for the 500 token buyout, then it's a no-brainer that many people will actually get the token/ship during that run.
Personally, I was surprised there was a second bonus weekend, especially as I thought the aim was to get people to gain the token around Q3 of 2019. Those that have taken this opportunity up have made the best of what they can so far, and I think the whole idea is fantastic. But, I think it needs a little tweaking if it's going to be done every year.
I have a few questions regarding all of this, and having done a quick hunt round I can't find them (I may have missed something in the dev videos);
so here goes;
1/ Once we gain the token, does it have to be used straight away, if not is there an expiry date on it?
2/ Are there dates for when the featured TFO's will be running, or is that something that will only be announced just before each one is run? (No criticism intended here, I can see the benefit of doing it that way). With summer hot on our heels, some of us are look at downtime with holidays, so don't want to miss out if it can be avoided.
Lastly, and it has to be said; thank you Cryptic for doing this. This is an amazing and wonderful give away.

BMR has said the coupon does not expire. You can use it at any time after you get it.
Yeah, there goes my ability to do simple arithmetic. 1050 for the 21 standard runs plus 2*5 bonus days amounts to 1550, which doubled is 3100, not 2900 ...
with one bonus weekend next time it will be 2950 - haha.

Thank you :-) That's very good news.
As I said, it was the vagaries of time zones that allowed me to do the TFO every day it was on - which allowed me to do it 22 times, lol. Yes, that was once a day every day it was on. 12 days @ 50 = 600. 10 bonus days @ 100 = 1,000. So 1,600 for me. I know others managed more, some managed less.
I think the peeps that went all out and did it every 20 hours are dedicated and deserving of respect :-) No way I would be willing to get up at 2am to do a TFO, then be back on at 10pm the same day to it (which you would have to do, sticking to the every 20 hours rule at some point). I like to sleep too much, lol. But more power to those that have. This is an awesome offer!
Personally I'm not a fan of the buy out option that gives you 500 tokens towards the total. Kind of takes away from the point of working for it - BUT, I understand the Devs have to cover all the bases with it put that option out there.
Looking forward to the next featured TFO. I wonder if that will include the new DSC marks? Tomorrow (14 May) is going to be a massive day for STO with the in game changes.
Can't wait!
The only way I would be up at 2am to play a TFO Event is if I wake up and can't go back to sleep. Which has happened a few times the older I get. I've also stayed up all night with insomnia sometimes when the husband spends time out of town on a job.
No, I can't go with him. I'm the designated grandbaby watcher and taxi for two other grandkids who need rides home from school. The parents don't trust the school bus and I don't blame them so I'm happy to pick them up.
I know the feeling, either I'm awake at 2am because I can't sleep, or I'm dead to the world from exhaustion. Mu hubby works away from home too. I have to admit, on those nights I don't sleep so I could do a TFO at that time. But I'd pretty bad at it because of being tired, so I tend to binge watch something off Netflix.
The husband is the binge watcher around here. My son gave him a Roku to go with his Direct Tv. I don't watch tv much, but he loves it and watches all the old shows we used to watch when they were first run.
That said, if I'm up at 2am I'm playing on my computer, using earphones so I don't wake him. That includes sometimes playing around on STO, even if it's nothing more than the fish barrels of DSEs.
