Then again, I'm one of those players that find the grinding for Specializations Points daunting so every bit helps.
With that said though usually the only Red Alert I do is the Borg one for the best effort versus reward ratio.
Very true, that Tholian can be fun & can be speedy as well. I'll have to remember to do that 1 this cycle.
I never mind them running this one frequently.
What do you mean..."pretty soon..." <--- These CONSTANT events pretty much are the only content in the game these days.

At least that does not get stale quite as fast as static missions do in other games.
Indeed no buyout button (it vanishes instantly). Would have used it as I started late.
That said, I don't know what else you expect from an MMO? Events with rewards are basically an MMO's bread and butter.
Yes, but rarely to the degree they are in STO - 50 weeks out of 52 weeks a year; and the uninspired recycling of the exact same events multiple times that same year.

I haven't played the Tholian one in a long time.. I did one today.
I used my main in a Vengeance Dread running cannons. This isn't even the 'top tier' ship for cannons, it's just really good. I moved up to the pack, cloaked.. fired of my buffs, uncloaked and fired. I was surprised to see that both the Large Tholian 'boss ships' died in my opening volley.
I actually remember when these were kinda tough. I remember telling people asking for tips on this Red Alert that the one thing you never do is just charge straight at the 2 lead ships, you move around the outside, take down the additional ships and then move in as a team.
You're right, these have not aged well. The entire thing took just over one minute and most of it was spent flying around looking for the stragglers to trigger the end of the event.
Easy money, but definitely not something to do if you are looking to kill time or challenge yourself.
Respectfully disagreed.
This new policy that there can never be a single day without an active event is something I am not a fan of. Luckily, the RA event can easily be skipped since it's reward isn't something you can only get once, but this whole 'play constantly or miss out' style sucks in my opinion and I'm sick of it.
Pretty sure you just said what I was trying to say, just in a more straightforward way. I agree with you completely.
