Yeah, I mean it will be nearly a year from now before we even get the token. So much to choose from. Crazy times.
Although the mega-event spreads over 5 parts, if you were to hit each of the first three on each of the 21 days you'd have 3150 progress by the end of Event#3 (at a rate of 50 progress per day, totalling 1050 per event).
We need to hit 3500 to get the prize, so even allowing for missed days here and there due to life stuff, we should be able to hit it by mid way through Event#4 assuming my maths is right (never a guarantee!).
It's still a long run, but doesn't feel quite so long when put that way IMO, and you could afford to miss a whole event and still get the prize.
The events are also accepting the FTFO commendations ("legacy progress"). You can use 14 of them to claim the event prize - which means you get 700 progress.
I wonder whether you can get the 700 progress, then get 1050 for playing each day for a total of 1750. Then, get to 3500 by the end of the second event.
As someone with 250 Legacy Progress sitting across alts, I'm hoping the answer is yes. I suppose I'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out.

I have a ton of FTFO commendations and would be great if we can still use those. I hope it will also give dilithium bonus once completed. We will see.
reduced to only "INIFINITY" boxes not the other ones
Right now, there are only like two or three ships that aren't infinity yet. Sure there'll be more once people get the reward, but frankly, some players who didn't throw their wallet and didn't play the exchange on max number of characters/account will be happy to finally get just one of those infinity-prizes. It will be difficult to make the choice, in fact. So many good options in infinities already, and most players only have a few or MAY be all the good ones, but split upon several toons.
It's free of charge in the end, and if it's not good enough a prize, what would be.
I'm totally confused about meta reward it says "Any Infinity Promo or Infinity Lock Box T6 Ship" and but In-game its not showing [Special Requisition Pack - Section 31 Command Heavy Battlecruiser [T6]]. Can I obtain this ship from end of year event? If anyone can help clarify thanks

So where are those promo ships? Like Enterprise-J? You are missing there way more ships than just ships released after 1.1.2021. Place them there immediately or you are liars about prizes
As long as their twitter still says it's lockbox or promo, chances are the ingame-event-page is just lying again.
I really hope it's not the other way around.
Well... they also made the Kelvin D7 a Destroyer rather than a Cruiser, which the Kelvin Connie is considered. On the other hand the fact it is the Kelvin Timeline's D7 might give it some weight for consideration. Who knows. The main reason people want it considered is for parity with the Federation. And IMO the KD7 might be more worthy due to iconic look than the D4x BoP.
Still... the decision is ultimately up to Cryptic. We can theory craft all day long, but the Devs get the final say.
Honestly though I wouldn't mind seeing more of the KD7. She's a beautiful rendition of the classic. I should probably fly mine a bit more...
we want trait from ship, not a ship... who need Kelvin D7? rly
So, currently, the reward info says only the infinity lockbox ships will be available, not the promo ones.
I sincerely hope this is a simple oversight in the description.
I certainly hope so too, but part of me kinda doubts it, because that's at least a dozen or more ships that are off that list. That's one fairly glaring oversight.

Alas, you definitely can use the FTFO commendations to complete the current event and claim the reward, BUT...
...you get absolutely no credit toward the bigger event unless you do the daily. After using the commendations and claiming the reward, you do immediately become eligible for the first 8K dil, so there's that, I suppose.

I'm cool with that list but others might not be. Oh boy!
Oh you have no idea
Yep, the top of my wish list is a Connie or D7 and both are from before the cutoff so no problems for me.
I am leaning towards a S31 Battlecruiser. Though i am still uncertain if that will be indeed my final choice
> why do you people care so much about ships?
You either chase THE UBER DPS or SPACE BARBIE as the endgame. Both require special ships.

"ANY"
to Infinity and Infinity Promo ONLY
to:
Restricted to ships before "December 2020".
See the pattern?
Is this a good way to run a BUSINESS? well.. yeah thank you anyway CRYPTIC!
I really hope it's not the other way around.

That is a promo box ship, which is among the list of the ships people have been bringing up that are missing from the in-game rewards list.

That's in a nutshell the way this event is being communicated.
