  1. I just figured I’d let everyone know who doesn’t that BBC America is replaying Star Trek: TNG starting with Season 1 today … this would be a great way for anyone that would like to be more educated while playing ☺, check your local listing for what days, times and channel.

  2. Anybody else having this problem? About every 5 minutes or so, Counsuela pops up telling me I have lost connection. When I hit the try again button, she goes away and everything is fine. I never actually lose a connection, just keep getting her showing up. Was really annoying when I was trying to blast spaceships.

  5. Hay Bunny, I’ve been reading the posts however I havent seen anything yet that says after what task or mission is the timed pop up to get Klingon Meg if you buy the other 3 premium characters. The pop up never showed up in my game and I’ve been waiting for it. I keep playing hoping it’ll show up soon and still nothing. I keep leaving Peter open so that it’ll show up, but nope. The one time I can purchase these so I can get the extra bonus person is the one time I never get the pop up. Can u please tell me when does the pop up trigger? I’m already at Sick Bay and Warp Core 4. I have to still unlock Beverly Crusher and Vulcan Quagmire as well as purchase Q, Worf and Guinan but I wanted to wait to purchase the premium characters until that pop up triggered so I can get Klingon Meg. Please let me know what task triggers it or how far down a task til it triggers or does it trigger after buying Q or what? Please and thank you for your help.

        • 3-5 business as of late, but if overloaded…at times more. This includes an auto reply that sometimes generates. If you get it, just keep responding to stay in queu for the issue at hand.

          If it is a more severe issue ie the techs can’t isolate the cause… it may take a lil longer to fix, but they do keep working at it. Had a few players that it to 3wks or a month to find, isolate, and resolve but they did get them back in. It is why it is hard to help on a ONE on ONE isolated issue. It is usually something specific to your device or your game, so basics don’t help and it becomes needle in a million haystacks hunt. I always tell players if nothing back, send a followup every 5 days. If you are still getting feedback, keep responding til it is resolved.

          Also keep in mind that user errors my NOT be able to be resolved (like buying something you don’t want with clams or an “oops” you made while playing), those are all case by case basis. But I will say this… no matter the issue… kindness goes a long way. Remember they also are there just trying to help on the other end too. Just like here. Difference is they have a million people asking for it at once via multiple messages. So you are essentially waitign in line for your turn. Here… we can isolate it easier and flow isn’t THAT much. 😉

  7. ✨Lol this is funny, but I just got the very 1st space condom today!!! I’ve been concentrating on getting Locutus & Starfleet Lois in the past week or so,it’s taking FOREVER!!!…I seriously NEVER had this problem of falling behind in an event since I started playing. I completed and obtained MOSTLY every little thing from the Halloween event to Valentine’s Day event, but this one It’s just..alot of stuff in a short period of time kind of…BUT! I can say I have been making ALOT of progress today and yesterday, just needing a couple more things for phase3 characters! I just NEVER want to fall behind because for the most part, I’ve been playing freemium for this event. My reason being I’m not a Star Trek fan&&idk who all the premium characters are or like how important they are etc., but that’s okay! I did take a step back tho over the weekend and had a little break from the game and now enjoy back to playing again 😄
    I think all the stressed-out players who are just NOT having fun or even NOT laughing anymore in their games, well they should ALL just take a 1 or 2 day break or HOWEVER MANY days you want so by the time you wanna start back up playing again, it’s fun all over! and keep telling yourselves that this IS JUST A GAME!…definitely NOT a full-time job or anything like that lol 😉💖

  11. I consider this event as a huge experiment from TinyCo, and we should be glad that they are willing to offer different gameplay from time to time. However, as any experiment, this event has a lot, A LOT of issues. I don’t agree with most of comments (at least negative ones), even as I’ve fallen behind (which I never do) in the questline progress, due to lousy material drops. I don’t need to have every character available, and if I do want an specific one, I’m aware that it may cost me clams in exchange. I’ll keep playing this game as long as it is funny, whenever it begins to feel like work I’ll look for something else instead, without stressing all other players that still enjoy this app. Have fun everybody!

Until I have to leave the house to do that, I’m thinking a nice relaxing hour or two of reading and a pot of coffee… taking a break from the game (hopefully). I have accepted that unless I want to spend money (clams) on the game, I am not going to get everyone. Still trying Lois and Locutus, almost done with them, then on to characters for the Sick Bay… Not looking forward to either, have a couple items for each already, no space condoms, unsure if I even want to bother. lol.

  15. I think and am seeing a pattern in the comments that those of us that aren’t big Trekkies aren’t getting quite as stressed by the event, perhaps because we have no emotional attachment to the characters. This made me think what theme would I be so emotionally attached to I couldn’t bare to miss a character. I’m thinking a Walking Dead event might just see me in a blind panic to collect everything. What about other addicts, what theme would bring out the completist in you?

    • A Doctor Who event would be fabulous, but the BBC keep a very tight reign on the licensing and I could not imagine them allowing one of their top shows which is primarily aimed at children, even although lots of us grown up geeks love it, to be linked to the adult themed Family Guy franchise. The same goes for Star Wars now Disney hold the rights. But I’m sure TinyCo have a few things planned but I can’t imagine another big franchise event this year. Maybe a follow up to ComicCon and some smaller events. What do you think?

Welll, despite many of the drop rate problems for this event I am enjoying it very much especially not being a big Trekkie fan myself although I much prefer the OG characters to the TNG characters I am still enjoying unlocking all the characters and can’t wait to see what Tinyco has up their sleeves for the final phase of this event. I do hope we will see more OG characters than Kirk. I hope to see Spock and Sulu also.

  30. I feel like the star trek event should be the most fun event yet, but do to the pacing is now one of the least fun. (The very least fun being king butt). I wonder if it’s because instead of very clear set stages where we are used to unlocking everything before progressing they planned for much more overlap, (i.e. i just got diana on one of my games, have lois and locutus on none of them,have sick bay on only one game) or if it’s just an overwhelming amount of things to try to work on so i get frustrated and default to just trying for one thing and assuming I’ll never get the rest.

    I do like the set event area,for once it seems players with very large spaces don’t get penalized for being a high level. That was always annoying, having to delete roads to trap event mobs lest you never hit enough at once to earn a multiplier. . But in my low level games hitting many mobs at once was easy as they didn’t have a giant space to roam free. The enterprise really evens it out and i hope future events work like that too.

    you may be wondering why I’m putting this in yadda yadda yadda, but it’s because it’s not really a complaint so much as observation and contemplating. Also by making a post this long i am probably making many people think “tl:dr” which is the internet equivalent of yadda yadda yadda 😉

Then the only other characters that we know of without w FaceSpace group are Locutus and Kirk. However, if you look at the timer, there is a whole week after phase 5 is over meaning there could be a whole new ship or part of the ship! This “6th Phase” would have to, just have to, have Spock.
