    Can we get an some info on the old coupon I have 2650/3000 and I want to know if they are going to be used or if they have no value!!!! And if they have now value anymore this is really bad since 1500 of those points were from those buy out for the event and they cost me zen !!!

    That would be nice! I can't even find where any progress for the Kobyashi event is going. I ran it once, we finished it, but the progress still shows for the incomplete 1900/3000 for the last one. The PvE Queue does not show any TFO cooldown in the cooldowns. How are we supposed to track any of this? Why is this incredibly broken system being used?! It wouldn't be so bad if it worked but it sure doesn't seem to be working at all currently, at least for some.

    Edit: Really!?! Why is this mess in the same window as the mission journal? There is still absolutely nothing to contribute to the previous free ship token, which sits in my character window at 1900/3000. The only thing in the C-Store to finish out anything is for the Elachi thing, which I have absolutely no interest in.

    you have to look in the event tab - next to available missions etc.. I don't believe this event will give you any progress on the past T6 coupon event. You have to start this one anew.

    Thanks for this! Couldn't figure out how to track progress.

    What about those of us that never finished the previous free ship? I have 1900 of 3000. I was considering buying the 1000 from the C-Store at the end of the last event but I still would have been short, so I didn't bother. Can I use TFO's tokens to finish that out? Will this round count towards the previous free ship grind?

    50k was the normal payout for Featured TFOs. They mention the 2,500 Dilitium for the Bonus days but don't mention the progressing scale of an extra 2,500 a day maxing out at 25k Dilitium per day.

    yeah 50k per toon who did event... so it was increased only to nerf it back to standard... yet still only 1 toon can get 50k. even with the bonus each day your still getting less if your one to run this on multi toons on 1 account.

    Yeah, a while back (after the last sompek event iirc), there was a mention on the live stream that they were looking at the rewards, including the one-time, and scaling, to make it fair and comparable to players that ran it on multiple alts.

    I thought the 100k was the result of that discussion.... apparently not. :disappointed:

    For the record (lest he get upset again)... it was not Kael that said that. It was either Andre or Jesse iirc.

    You know, I tried it out before work this morning. With the fail conditions removed, it's basically a 5 wave patrol mission. I am kinda okay with that.

    Yeah, same.. it's just a patrol mission but at least I only have to do 1 a day instead of 4.

    Not nearly as bad that way.

    The Featured TFO Tokens worked just fine. Put in 14, it completed, got all the Rewards, 700 progress towards the next Free Ship Token, and was ready to go for the 2,500 Bonus Dilithium run. Did that on another Character rather than the one who unlocked the Rewards. With 2.5 Million Unrefined Dilitium I don't need more there.

    Next Dilitium Award will be 5,000. This will have the potential of 412,500 Dilitium extra from this TFO.

    Agree with the above!

    Thank You for posting @baddmoonrizin

    It's welcome news they may be adding a buyout for the earlier Event Reputation Tab T6 Ship Progress Token!

    Thank you! Not everyone pays attention to PWE's Twitter.

    I can't think of a better place for this new Events tab but putting it where it is when there is an Events Tab in the Reputation character window, seems silly, confusing, and needs to be addressed. Is it possible to remove the Events tab from the character windows and have it incorporated into the new tab?

    Cryptic, can you please merge Cupon Progress Token from Reputations bar with Event campaign in Journal? Otherwise I don't see any sense to keep these progress counts - both towards a free T6 ship - separated from each other - so we just earn from zero despite the progress earned earlier?

    The run we had last night, it didn't seem like the Kobayashi was suicidal.

    The first I did, it was actually not.
    Then I accompanied a couple of fleet mates for their runs... and boy, it wasn't suicidal. It was SUPER suicidal! That thing was zooooming around the map like an headless chicken!​​

    Incomplete progress on all projects in the Event Reputation tab will be autocompleted. Apparently, not all autocompleted with the patch. That's being fixed. Once you claim all rewards on said projects, the Event Reputation tab will disappear, leaving only the Event tab in the Mission Journal.

    Only done two runs and so far the Kobayashi has not been suicidal and the speed round seems to have been reduced.

    As expected the changes the devs have done has made what I see as the worst content in the game even worse and less fun to play. It’s that boring and pointless I am just going to fly to the middle, activate weapons and go semi AFK and browse the web for future runs. Perhaps hold the left arrow key in case the speed round triggers. I just cannot believe how what was the top 3 best content in game has been turned into the worse.

    Well, one good thing about removing the original No Win, I no longer have to see the fly-bys of all those 'Original Thinkers' in the game when it hardly was. :)

    It should do it the original TOS way, with a warpcore breach. That harg'peng stuff is bad for the Magic Mushrooms. :D

    Interesting! Thank you for the heads up. I guess it's just the wait for the few projects that haven't auto completed yet to get that to happen for my characters.

    So, I have 1600/3000 T6 coupon progress tokens just sitting there in the "Event" rep window. Are they just gonna collect dust or will I be able to transfer those to the new system? If not, that seems like a strong disincentive to continue playing an event once total success *during that specific event* becomes impossible since it will have no effect on the next event with the same goal/reward.
