Hey there all you Tribblemakers!
Phase 4 is now live and running in our games. Just like unlocking Districts, this Event has us unlocking Enteprise “Districts” and causing us all flashbacks of those dreaded Eyeballs and Headbands. Definitely one of the more Challenging Events to say the least. Even for the Seasoned Players. So, once again, bouncing on in here because I want to know where YOU are in the game?
Below are some VERY specific questions I would like the answers to. PLEASE ONLY ANSWER THE QUESTIONS. NOTHING MORE! (Anything beyond what is asked will be moderated/deleted, so please stick to the questions/answers only. No ad-libbing 😉 )
Feel free to only answer a few of the questions if you do not want to answer them all.
Deanna Troi:
Question #1- For those that did not unlock her last poll, have you unlocked her now? If yes, did the new Chris and Riker drop % push you to get her? If not, have you checked the newer drop rate % from Chris and Riker?
Locutus:
Question #2- If you have not unlocked Locutus, how many of each do you have? (Please also add next to the number, WHERE you are getting the Material mostly from. Like Phaser Battles… etc)
10 Duct Tape (Extra Rare)
40 Batteries (Common)
10 Scrap Metal (Uncommon)
35 Laser Pointers (Rare)
OR
ALTERNATE Question #2- If you have unlocked Locutus, did you use Clams to do so? (Yes or No)
Transporter Energy:
Question #3- How many do you have currently?
Question #4- Have you noticed they are dropping better, same, or worse now?
Transporter Trips:
Question #5- Do you like the % Odds on the Transporter trips? (Yes or No)
Question #6- Would you have preferred a guaranteed payout each trip instead of a random one? (Yes or No)
Question #6- What item are you using the Transporter for right now to obtain? (Like Herbert, Space Condoms, etc)
Starfleet XP Level
Question #7- What Starfleet Level are you currently at?
PHASER BATTLES
Question #8- What % of payout do you feel you are getting from the Phaser Battles for the Regular PeterCraft?
Question #9- How many Phaser Energy do you have?
Question #10- Where are you getting the most Phaser Energy from? (Like a Character, Room, etc)
Question #11- Do you find getting Phaser Energy to be difficult? (Yes or No)
Question #12- Have you tried the new Shielded PeterCraft Battle? If so, What % payout are you getting from it? (Like 2 drops out of 10 ships, etc)
Question #13- If you have tried Shielded PeterCraft, how many times did you successfully hit it twice? (Like 2 out of 5)
Question #14- Do the Asteroids seem to be “Voiding Out” your hits? (Like if one jumps in front of the ship, do you get credit for both being hit, or only the Asteroid)
Worf & Guinan
Question #15- Did you purchase one or both? If one, which one?
Question #16- Do you wish their Materials were ALWAYS drops?
Question #17- What MAIN questline are you currently on and what Part? (Frame of Mind, A Ship Without Picard, etc)
Question #18- Finally, if you were grading this Event as of right now…. What Grade would you give it? (A, B, C, D, F)
Feel free to only answer a few of the questions if you do not want to answer others.
Again, I am ONLY looking for answers to these questions and these questions only. ANYTHING ELSE WILL BE MODERATED/DELETED. We get the frustration, we know all too well what people are feeling. If you need to vent about it… use ONLY the What the Deuce post and keep the other content we release focused on the subjects please. Otherwise all our hard work and effort goes to waste. 🙂
Thanks so much, you know we are always here for you and with you when it comes to the game. 😉

2) I need 6 laser pointers. Getting from space ship battles and quagmire. The odds are really bad though.

3 – 60+
4 – same as phase 3, better than phase 2.
5 – Yes.
6a – Yes.
6b – Not using atm cause I’m collecting phaser energy. Still want herbert, but worst drop rate ever!
7 – 8.
8 – 15%.
9 – 0. Just spent the last 2 for the questline.
10 – trying everyway, rooms have better drop rate.
11 – yes, considering how much we need.
12 – yes. 0% – 2 ships, 0 drops.
13 – 2 of 3. The first try a small ship and an asteroid got in front of it and only hitted the smaller.
14 – yes they are voiding out, as the smaller ship.
15 – both.
16 – sure, they were expensive characters.
17 – I’m at the questline for phase 4, part 1 (still have to send lois to do her job).
18 – would grade A for phases 1-2, D- for phase 3 (frustrating drops), F for phase 4 (drops that need phaser energy will be even worst than phase 3). Complementary F for TinyCo that stopped answering our contacts and ignored the players complaints about problems at phase 3.

Q2- Locutus status
Duct Tape10/10
Batteries40/40
Scrap Metal10/10
Laser Pointer 18/35
Q3- Transporter Energy?
11
Q4- Drop changes in TE?
Same, slightly better. I’ve gotten 14 in 5 days, spent 3 to get Herbert/warbird.
Q5- like the Odds on the Transporter trips?
IDK depends on trip? I never go on said trips, besides the hour trips to get herbert/warbird, and the odds for that were good. my characters are too busy on tasks trying to get energy or complete quests.
Q6- prefer guarantee payout each trip?
Yes, even if it takes longer. Puts all players on an equal playing field, but I understand the appeal of a gamble too.
Q6.5- What item are you using the Transporter for ?
My characters are completing quests, the quests do not involve the transporter. I will use transporter if I have a character available who isn’t working towards getting something for a new character/skin/quest.
Q7- Starfleet Level?
6, almost at 7.
Q8- % of payout Regular PeterCraft?
33.33%
Q9- How many Phaser Energy?
0
Q10- Where you getting most Phaser Energy ?
Characters are better than the room pay out, my rooms pay out 1/5 times. Characters 1/2 to 1/3 payout.
Q11- Do you find getting Phaser Energy to be difficult?
YES
Q12- tried new Shielded PeterCraft Battle? What % payout are you getting?
Y, 0% so far.
Q13- how many times did you successfully hit Shielded Peter twice?
Once
Q14- Asteroids Void Out hits?
Y, I haven’t watched too closely to figure out why, but it happens sometimes.
Q15- Did you clam purchase one or both?
No
Q16- Do you wish their Materials were ALWAYS drops?
IDC
Q17- What MAIN questline?
Although its clear to you, I don’t know what the main quest line is. The red demarkation? A Ship Without Picard pt 6.

1) Unlocked Troi finally. Three transporter missions in a row awarded chocolate after the drop rates changed.
2) Still far from unlocking Locutus.
10/10 Duct Tape, primarily from room swaps
30/40 Batteries, mainly from Bonnie but a transporter trip once awarded me ten of ’em
10/10 Scrap Metal, all from Joe and Herbert because Riker had a million questline parts to perform
12/35 Laser Pointers, mostly from Quagmire (darn you PeterCraft)
Not that you asked, but I’m also some way from unlocking Starfleet Lois. 695/1500 Dilithium, 5/5 Space Groceries, 10/25 Felicium (darn you PeterCraft) and 23/30 Ear Pieces having never been to Nom-Nomulus.
3) I have 15 Transporter Energy at the moment.
4) Drop rate still terrible, room swaps are the only way.
5) I don’t like the actual odds, but I like that the meters give you some indication of award likeliness. (HERBERT WHY U SO UNLIKELY.)
6.1) I’d still prefer a random payout, just with much improved odds.
6.2) Anything needed to unlock characters or skins.
7) Level 6, about 25% away from level 7.
8) I feel the payout rate is 30-40%.
9) Zero. I use them as soon as I earn them. I feel like all actions/rooms should drop 5 Phaser Energy every time; 1’s just miserly.
10) Room swaps. 6-hour tasks with a “chance” are too onerous.
11) Yes, difficult to get, but not as difficult as Transporter Energy.
12) Destroyed it once, got diddly squat. The actual target area is crazy small.
13) 1 out of about 3. Wasn’t far enough along in the questlines to learn about the two-hit thing the first two times, at least until I read the Phase 4 post here.
14) Haven’t noticed this happening.
15) Bought neither premium character.
16) I don’t care either way.
17) I’m on A Ship Without Picard part 6.
18) I’d give this event a solid C. I love the immersive environment – Paramount really dropped the ball by not having a build-your-own-Enterprise game out there on iPhone day 1 – but as a QFS event there’s just too much to collect in the allowed time compared to other long events.

3.) 13 transporter energies
4.) Yes, they appear to be dropping more frequently now.
5.) No, odds are better than most item drops, but still not steller.
6.) Yes, I think I would prefer guaranteed payout each trip.
6.) Just got Herbet, working on Vulcan Symbol and Scalpals now.
7.) Starfleet Level 6
8.) Seems to be about 1/5 chance of getting a laser pointer/felicium.
9.) currently have 2 phaser energies (use them up every day)
10.) Seems to be even split between characters and rooms.
11.) No. It comes pretty regularly.
12.) Have not shot down a shielded PeterCraft. Focusing on little ones for laser pointer/felicium drops.
13.) Have not hit one twice successfully… not trying to hit it at all.
14.) No, seem to be hitting muliple targets.
15.) No, did not purchase Worf or Guinen (Saving my clams to see if there are chars I want more)
16.) ALWAYS drops seem fair for premium chars (like premium buildings)
17.) A ship without Picard: 8
Endless Battle :3
Lois to the Bridge:1
Come to you senses: 5
All the way Bare: 2
Blind Leading the Blind: 1
18.) Grade: C
– It is a nice looking event, but it doesn’t feel challenging it feels ‘poorly paced’.
– I log in ever 2 hours between 8am – 11pm every day and I’m still days away from completing last week’s content.
– Points for no ‘you have 72hrs to unlock’ quests
– Afraid to spend my clams, normally I buy several premium characters during and event, but due to frustration, I’m saving my money to make sure I get Data, Talosian Stewie and Kirk.
– Will reserve final judgement until event completes, but if it wasn’t Star Trek themed, I would have given up by now.

1. No, had bad luck with away mission and takes a couple of days to gather energy for an attempt. Took a long time to unlock chris too so only been benefitting from his help this week.
2. Not unlocked Locutus but because others could do his actions I have 2 of the tape and around 1/3-1/2 of the other items required already.
3.No transporter energy, its all going into Deanna attempts, I have unlocked all the items bar Klingon Symbol though.
4.No change in drop.
5.I like the transporter functionality but you don’t really have an indicator for how likely the drops actually are, for instance I failed 3 times in a row to get chocholate with the second level of chance.
6.I would have preferred guaranteed for required items and chance of cosmetic drops.
7.Currently two bars into level 5 but expecting a big boost when Deanna finally unlocked.
8. I feel like on the petercraft about 25% chance of just getting dilithium, 50% chance of getting Felicium and 25% of getting Laser pointers.
9. None
10. Room/Geordie
11. Slow but plenty of options to get
12. No
13. N/A
14. Yes, ive found if there is an asteroid behind the petercraft and you hit the petercraft you only get credit for the asteroid.
15. No, too much stuff requiring real money this event and price seems high, particularly as experience of buying characters in previous events is you get one or two short quests and then you get no ongoing benefit from having bought the character in future events compared to ones you unlock with items.
16. N/A
17. Unlocking Diana, Unlocking Locutus
18. A for visuals and story, D for balance.

Deanna unlocked before changes in drops.
Locutus needs 6 pointers. Think I’ve had more drops from laser battles than Quagmire.
I have 73 transporter energies. The drops on these do seem to have improved but I had a good stock from room swapping before that was nerfed. Not doing away trips because the drops are too rare and unpredictable. Vulcan Quagmire currently looks impossible as I’m playing this event freemium, so not going to waste consumables and time trying to get space condoms.
Starfleet level 7.
I get 2-4 drops in 10 hits of the Petership+asteroid. Typically I get 10-12 phaser crystals a day from the rooms, Geordi and Deanna. I use these up once a day and currently have 8 with a few more drop opportunities to come this evening. Occasionally Chris will drop one on his overnight task.
I’m playing this event freemium following the ridiculous drops we had early on with the green cubes (1 in 24)! Not a huge ST:TNG fan anyway.
A ship without Picard Pt.8.
I’d currently grade this event as an A for the concept but an F for the implementation.
LikeLike
1. Unlocked Troi just prior to last poll.
2. 23 Laser Pointers – both Quagmire and Phaser battle. All other items complete.
3. 57 Transporter Energy
4. Had not noticed – been using room swap, so my acquisition is consistent.
5. Yes and no – some items were great (got 12 chocolate in only 3 trips before the change), some were terrible (took almost 3 full days to get Sarong Herbert).
6a. Yes – a guaranteed payout is always better in my opinion.
6b. Nothing – not paying 100 clams to unlock Vulcan, and VISOR Hut is dropping Laser Scalpels just fine.
7. Just earned level 7 this morning.
8. Around 30% to 40% – earned more Felicium than Laser Pointers overall.
9. Currently have 3 Phaser Energy – I wait until I have at least 10 before entering Phaser Battle.
10. A clocked cycle of room swapping and character tasks earns me about 3 or 4 every 6 hours.
11. Not terribly difficult, but not exactly pouring in either.
12. No – sounds like an energy-waster. Still trying for laser Pointers anyway.
13. n/a
14. Have not noticed this issue in my game.
15. Both.
16. It would be nice – considering premium characters traditionally do so.
17. “A Ship Without A Picard” Part 8 – just need to unlock Locutus.
18. Currently grading it a C. Giving an A+ for doing justice to the source material and offering some great characters/skins/items, but averaging it with an F for playability (seriously, some items seem too hard to come by without using clams and there is nothing at all happening in Quahog – some of the other townsfolk could certainly be lending a hand with these).

18. Grade F. Perhaps I expected too much since it’s Star Trek and past events have been good . I’ve never had this much trouble progressing during an event, even ComicCon when I first started playing.

I am on starfleet level 7 and am currently trying to unlock locutus, I still need 16 lasers and im getting them mostly from shooting. And im 3 felicium away from lois also getting those from shooting. The shooting seems to give me one or the other about 50% of the time but its slow going because the phaser energy I only get about 8 shots a day. I found grtting stuff from transporting to be the easiest part of the event because I have plenty of transporter energy. The only clams ive spent are on the 2 characters and yes I feel they should deffinately always drop something. I am on a ship without picard part 8. I give this event an A for concept and a C for execution.

1. Had her unlocked previously
2. Did not use clams to unlock Locutus though I have to say he was the first ever event character that took me longer than the full week to unlock (including AD, Xmas, Halloween, and V-Day). This is even with spending 300 clams on Guinan and Observation deck for more orange energy
3. 26
4. Dropping the same (bad)
5. I do not like the odds
6a. Would absolutely prefer a guaranteed payout
6b. Currently using it for space condoms
7. Currently at 7
8. Horrible payout 1/5 so about 20%?
9. Currently have one phaser energy only because I need two to even attempt
10. Getting most energy from room swapping and I bought observation deck
11. Getting the phaser energy itself is not all that difficult
12. I have tried it only twice so my results are skewed but I was 2/2
13. Had 4 orange energy so I was 2/2 (using my iPad was a big help though)
14. I now wait and see to make sure the asteroid is behind the ship before shooting. If it is in front my shot will always hit the asteroid not the ship.
15. I purchased both
16. Can’t imagine anyone saying no to that. These premium characters have been the least helpful in an event ever. (I have every character)
17. I am currently on The Road to Recovery Pt 3
18. Very tough question. I have to say the horrible drops and extremely long tasks are almost as bad as the rest of the event has been good. The ship the games and everything are fantastic, just extremely poor implementation. I guess that would have to average out to a flat C. But man this event had the potential to be an A+ if only a few easy tweaks would have been made.

#1 Deanna Troi
Unlocked prior to new rates.
#2 Locutus
Have everything but two Laser Pointers – about 50/50 Quagmire & phasers. Strongly considered using clams for rest, but persevering instead.
#3 & #4 Transporter Energy
Currently have 39. Seem to be dropping about the same, I’m just not using them much.
#5 & #6 Transporter
No, the % odds for “stuff” items seemed REALLY low. In fact, did not receive any character items other than chocolate (i.e. dictionaries, batteries) from transporter; received all of these from rooms and tasks. I liked the randomness of it (much like normal tasks), but the drop rate was very poor. Herbert especially was very difficult (approximately 15-20 trips). Not using transporter at all now, although it appears that a purchase of Vulcan may be almost necessary to acquire Quagmire’s skin.
#7 Starfleet XP Level
Currently at Level 7, pushing 8. Has not been an issue.
#8 – #14 Phaser Battles
Payout has been frustratingly low for regular PeterCraft so far. Drop rate for Felicium/Laser Pointers has been about 25%, which is tough when the drop rate for phaser energy is also low. Currently have zero energy. Received evenly from character tasks, rooms and Starfleet Academy. Getting the energy has been difficult (can’t even imagine what it would have been like without the Academy). Have not tried the Shielded PeterCraft yet, mostly because I do not want to risk wasting any energy. Have not had any trouble with “voided” shots.
#15 & #16 Worf & Guinan
Yes, I purchased both characters and I’m glad I did. Cannot imagine how frustrating this event would be without them. Of course I’d rather their drops be more frequent, but I haven’t been disappointed with them.
#17 Progress
Still on A Ship Without Picard #8, waiting on Locutus.
#18 Grade
Going in, I was ecstatic about the event. Because I wanted to enjoy it fully without the stress of missing out on anything, I planned on being free with my clams. I purchased all of the premium Starfleet buildings and both premium characters. The fact that I am still struggling a bit despite those purchases is a bit concerning. I am still enjoying everything without stress myself, but I worry for freemium players who will be turned off (or rage, as the case may be). Only because the tasks seem SO daunting would I give the event a B.
Thanks again, ladies ~ you guys are the best.

Hi Ladies,
Thanks for consolidating this, and your ongoing help.
Am a freemium player, but have used clams that I have accumulated for free over the past while.
1. Unlocked Troi within her first week, no clams used.
2. Just unlocked Locutus this AM; No clams used.
3. I have 70 Transporter Energy
4. Dropping better
5. No, have only used the transporter to get the billboard; Have tried a few to get the costume, but have been unsuccessful 6 times
6. Yes, certain payout like during valentine’s would have been better, particularly since you have to earn items to go on the trip (so random chance of success makes it incrementally tougher)
7. Just past 7
8. Very low; most of my lasers and powders came from grinding the two available tasks
9. 2 Phaser energy crystals
10. Room swap, and 2 characters, since others are needed to unlock Crusher and Vulcan Quagmire
11. Yes, only because characters are used for other tasks as well; Also, found drop rates on phaser energy have gone down (it seems like for me)
12. No, not yet
13..See above
14. Yes, happened often on the small peter ship as I was trying to earn items for Locutus and Lois
15. I purchased Worf (that was not an option 🙂
16. Yes, it would be a better value proposition if they were 100% drops (or multiple drops like Brian Cranston was during ComicCon)
17. Beginning of sick bay event
18. I would say a C; I enjoy the content as a Trek Fan, but have to admit, the difficulty has made it frustrating at times

Locutus:
Question #2- If you have not unlocked Locutus, how many of each do you have?
Duct Tape: 6 Mostly from Riker’s Quarters, Maybe a couple from Borgs, but Borg drops haven’t been very fruitful.
Batteries: 19 All from Bonnie
Scrap Metal: 10 Got these so quick, I don’t remember where I got them from
Laser Pointer: 10 Mostly from Quagmire, A couple from Petercrafts
Transporter Energy:
Question #3- How many do you have currently? 11
Question #4- Have you noticed they are dropping better, same, or worse now? They are dropping slightly better, not by much. I finally bit the bullet and bought the Starfleet Research Facility. The only reason I have a little stockpile right now is because I have been focusing on clearing quests the last 2 days.
Transporter Trips:
Question #5- Do you like the % Odds on the Transporter trips? (Yes or No): NOOOOO!!!!
Question #6- Would you have preferred a guaranteed payout each trip instead of a random one? (Yes or No): Yes, with as hard as it is to get the Transporter Energy a guaranteed payout would be nice. If it were easy to come by the transporter energy, I might not mind the random payouts.
Question #6- What item are you using the Transporter for right now to obtain? (Like Herbert, Space Condoms, etc): Herbert & Batteries
Starfleet XP Level
Question #7- What Starfleet Level are you currently at? 5, almost to 6.
PHASER BATTLES
Question #8- What % of payout do you feel you are getting from the Phaser Battles for the Regular PeterCraft? 30%….MAYBE
Question #9- How many Phaser Energy do you have? 0
Question #10- Where are you getting the most Phaser Energy from? (Like a Character, Room, etc): Rooms, I think
Question #11- Do you find getting Phaser Energy to be difficult? (Yes or No): YES!!!
Worf & Guinan
Question #15- Did you purchase one or both? If one, which one? None. Too expensive. I am tired of buying premium characters to never have use for them ever again after the event is over. Plus, these characters didn’t even have guaranteed drops.
Question #17- What MAIN questline are you currently on and what Part? (Frame of Mind, A Ship Without Picard, etc): A Ship without Picard Pt 8
Question #18- Finally, if you were grading this Event as of right now…. What Grade would you give it? (A, B, C, D, F) : I think I would have to give it a C. The phaser battle part is fun & slightly different than any other event, WHEN and IF I can get phaser energy. But what really kills this event for me is the high requirements for characters and the low drop rates. I think this will be the first event that I do not get everyone offered as I am at least several days to a week behind and I am on the game quite often.

#18 A big fat F. Phase 1 was good. It’s been straight down hill from there. Each phase gets exponentially worse. Only way for Tiny Co to recover in my opinion is to fix drop rates to always on all items and to lower the outlandish unlock numbers that only grow with each phase. All of the flaws of all the previous events are all here in this event (well no latchers but there’s still phase 5). If Tiny Co. was truly “listening” to the fans like so many praise them to be doing, these same mistakes/errors in judgment would not reoccur event after event after event.

1. I unlocked Deanna after the enhanced drop rate. I was having trouble because of the chocolate bars which I guess was enhanced later.
2. I am only missing 20 Laser Pointers. Quagmire’s drop rates almost seem to have slowed down.
3. I have 11 transporter energies saved up, but since my characters are always out collecting items I do not get a lot of opportunity to use them.
4. Drop rates started to get better which helped me get Deanna.
5. No. I could be using the characters that aren’t getting items to unlock other characters but that would be a complete waste of transporter energy as I would get nothing but XP and dilithium.
6. Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.
Alternate 6. Not using it but would love to get Herbert. If it didn’t cost 100 clams I would go for Condoms too.
7. Got to Level 6 right at the moment I needed to upgrade.
8. Before the upgrade I was getting most of my laser pointers and felicium from there. Now barely anything. Soooooo before 50% now 20%.
9. I have 0 phaser energy, seems to be getting harder to collect.
10. Most comes from rooms or Geordi.
11. Yes. Characters that drop them are being using to clear Borgs or get Felicium.
12. Yes, I’ve only hit 1 Shielded Petercraft, mostly because I didn’t understand it until I read your post, and it only gave me crystals and xp.
13. Once.
14. Not really, my asteroids tend to go behind ships rather than in front.
15. I have not purchased Worf or Guinn
16. If I was using claims to buy them I would definitely want them to always drop.
17. I’m on:
Ship Without Picard Pt.5
An Endless Battle Pt.3
Lois to the Bridge Pt.1
Age of Ascension Pt.3
Taking Command Pt.2
18. This event gets a C. I understand that it is supposed to be challenging but I think I am falling way to behind and I play every two hours regularly.

1 – unlocked. No notice of rate change.
2 – 29/35 laser pointers, mostly from phaser battled (1 in 5 or so, even with hitting suggested rock/ship combos)
3 – 52.
4 – Only slightly.
5 – NO.
6 – YES. Not trying after too many fruitless attempts at Herbert. Once right characters unlock will use for condoms.
7 – 7, reached this a.m.
8 – calculated ~20%.
9 – 0
10 – character drops, rooms, starfleet clams buy drops
11 – yes, easy to get energy, but not enough to make a difference with a 20% return rate.
12 – no, need laser pointers first
13 – N/A
14 – it’s happened 2 or 3 times.
15 – both
16 – absolutely yes
17 – A ship without Picard, unlocking Picard
18 – D. Failure to learn from issues in previous events, and intensifying those issues. Haven’t seen the “we’re sorry, we’re adjusting the gameplay” fixes that accompanied other events.

Unlocked her yesterday right before update hit
Need 9 more laser pointers
4orbs now, took 3 days to get enough before change 2 1/2 after change. Odds of drop are not on par with the effort needed to take the trip so a guaranteed payout would be better. Trying to get Herbert now
Level 7
Phaser payout is rare if ever, asteroids seem to cancel out shots
Ship without Pickard 4
Bought neither
Would say for me the event has been a huge disappointment

Question #1- I don’t think I had Troi last poll, but I definitely have her now. I guess the newer drop rate helped, but I honestly don’t remember what was so hard to collect for her.
Question #2- No Locutus yet.
10 Duct Tape – 10/10, last one collected from a second Riker’s bedroom that I was able to build.
40 Batteries – 40/40, mostly collected by character tasks
10 Scrap Metal – 10/10, collected (quickly) by character tasks
35 Laser Pointers – 32/35, split between Quagmire’s task and phaser battles. Can’t give the exact breakdown, but it seems like more from phaser battles.
Question #3- Currently have 21.
Question #4- I noticed a brief surge in drop rates from characters/rooms last week (right after your post about keeping an eye out for better drop rates), but I think they’ve dropped back down.
Question #5- No.
Question #6- Yes.
Question #6- None. Maybe space condoms once I start focusing on Quagmire items.
Question #7- I am currently halfway through Starfleet Level 6.
Question #8- What % of payout do you feel you are getting from the Phaser Battles for the Regular PeterCraft?
Question #9- I have 0 phaser energy.
Question #10- Room (Weapons Locker x2)
Question #11- YES
Question #12- I tried the new Shielded PeterCraft Battle once, but it was before I knew you had to hit it twice so my payout was 0%.
Question #13- 0 out of 1.
Question #14- I haven’t had any asteroids cancel out my Petercraft hits, but it doesn’t always seem like it registers the asteroid as being hit.
Question #15- Neither.
Question #16- Didn’t realize they weren’t ALWAYS drops.
Question #17- A Ship Without Picard Part 8 (waiting to unlock Locutus and have Geordi Examine Computers)
Question #18- Probably a D(+)? I almost said a C(-) because there is a lot of good in the event, but I think the frustration of trying to complete tasks is so high that it’s overshadowing the positives that much.

5-no

10-room swapping mostly,
11-yes, and too much needed for the rate of return
12-NOPE, not even bother with that until I have Starfleet Lois and Locutus
unlocked. I might not even bother at all.
13-n/a
14-can’t say I really noticed, occasional lag is more of a problem
15-Neither. I’m not buying premium characters anymore until TinyCo guarantees they will always be used in all future events, one event use is not worth the high price they cost.
16-Premium characters should always have guaranteed drops for whatever they drop, otherwise they shouldn’t be premium.
17-I need to unlock Locotus
18-F a big old F
