Hey there Kardashians!! 😉
Tribbles are back, Lil Borg Kittens are roaming, somewhere the Captain is over acting, and poor Meg can’t even get a Klingon to love her.
With the Mini Event re-release of the Star Trek Event we now have a new Questline to take us through it, Star Trek: First Contact.

I’m really enjoying this event. Freemium player and was finding recent events to be more and more discouraging, to the point of “don’t really care anymore”.
Here’s an opportunity for me to use buildings and characters that otherwise would be collecting dust in inventory (played in event last year) and allows new players opportunity to get stuff that would otherwise be long gone. Even better if Tinyco drop the odd new stuff in there as well.
Keep up the good work guys and don’t let leaderboard’s get you down.

Hi Bunny
I wasn’t sure where to post this because your leaderboard post had no comments but for some reason I’m blocked from participating in the leader boards. I tried contacting Tiny Co three times when this first happened in the Raid to the North Pole with no response and I have now tried contacting them twice in this event and still nothing. I’m a freemium player but I play super often. I’m a student so I’m up late doing hw and up early for class so I play at all hours of the day, but otherwise I spend only clams stockpiled from Clam TV. I have never bought clams and only spend clams sparingly. So having me marked as a cheater is supremely frustrating. Is there a more efficient way to contact them or something because I’d at least like to have a shot at the bottom of the barrel prizes, as thats all i can ever hope to get with all the premium players. Thanks

I’ve having difficulty with Star Trek: Second Contact Pt. 10 as Chris keeps coming back from his away mission without any catnip. Happened 3 times in a row now – pretty frustrating. So I can’t clear all 8 kittens just yet; that said, not really sure why I’m participating as there aren’t any goals to play for this week (already have all the free characters and costumes from the first Star Trek event). I don’t count the leaderboards; they’re a money grab.
Too bad TinyCo didn’t downgrade a previous premium character like 7of9 so that we could earn her free this event, giving us something fun and rewarding to do. I have 20,000 crystals and nothing to spend them on?
LikeLike
Resumed my battle with the transporter… just need a batch of catnip so I can clear borg kittens but Chris has failed four times in a row and now I am out of badges so can’t attempt again for a while. 1-2 chances per day given the amount of badges needed and I’m now held up until I get some luck. Wish there was an alternative source!

I managed to get almost everything the first time this event came around, so there is not much going on (do not get me wrong, I am definitely not complaining). At least I can get the Battle Arena this time (and without shelling out the 100 Clams needed to even access it last time). Just awaiting 4 more Borg Kittens and it looks like I am ready for next week. Nothing else to do but stock up on materials while I wait…
Still curious about the Vulcan Floor in the replicator – it looks like a single square similar to the walls/fences, but I have not collected enough Red Matter for even one. Anybody craft this yet?
LikeLike
With it such a high price of Red Matter, I assume it is just one hole in the ground, if it is like the lava “fence” one is all I will get unless Red Matter becomes Always. I most certainly am not wasting the Clams to collect Red Matter to just find out. WAY too costly. So working my way there as I can. I am around 45 now. 😉

Just a quick question I was wondering if you could answer, I’ve reached ‘Star Trek: Second Contact Pt. 11’, and the first task is to ‘See what’s coming in Week 2’ which I’ve done, and the last part is to open the Hoodeck, but I’ve collected the 30 needed but it won’t let me open it.

Pt 6 completed for me as soon as I sent Chris on the away mission (I’d already completed the other 2 requirements) but pt 7 couldn’t start until he returned – so I had Chris with an exclamation mark sat in the top left corner of the screen for the best part of 6 hours. Tapping him just took me to the transporter screen (which was a real pain when trying to send other characters on tasks!)
On the plus side, as soon as Chris returned to the Enterprise he brought some catnip with him. And it counted towards pt 7. And 2 kittens apparently shorted themselves out in all the excitement. Straight on to pt 8 it is 🙂 I wish I hadn’t squished all my tribbles just before Chris came back though…

Not directly related to this post, but I opened up Ten Forward today and saw Deanna Troi listed in the shopping cart as “Free!” but when I go to place her, I need 18 Photos of Riker. Now the only way listed to get this item is to have Jerome trade baseball cards, which is a 1 day task. So how can I get 18 items that each take a day (and are Extra Rare) during a 14 day Event without spending Clams? How can TinyCo have the gall to list this character as “free” when it clearly is not?? TC needs to create another avenue to earn Photos of Riker.
LikeLike
You are not understanding how it works. Usually you have to Buy some Building, place it, wait for it to build, then out pops the Character with their lil Bubbles above their head of all the items you have to earn. This time, you PLACE her for Free instead of being made to buy a building, but you still have to earn items to unlock her… just like pretty much every Character in the existence of the game.
As for the drops, like I note MANY times… patience. TinyCo works in steps and Phases so what you see today could easily change tomorrow. More items introduced to drop them, more Character Tasks added, etc. You have til the end of the Event to completely unlock her.

Incorrect. The “rooms” last event you could interchange and customize to your game. Those in Inventory are only Decorations and nothing more. They never helped anytime but for putting in your town after Event.
You are unlocking sections of the Enterprise this time (like Ten Forward, Bridge, etc) and getting free rooms that drop Materials already in place.
It’s the Buildings and Characters previous event that are a huge help. First time in the game they’ve done this.
2 week event vs 5 week. BIG difference.

Um, the rooms, during the past event, did drop materials we needed while playing the game.

As noted very clearly in my comment… the ones in INVENTORY, never helped or dropped anything. They always have been and always will be nothing more than Decorations. They were awarded AFTER the Event ended. So no, they did NOT drop anything nor help with anything. Thanks though. 🙂
The “rooms” ONLY on Enterprise and that left with the Enterprise when the Event ended (same rooms that are there now, just locked and not interchangeable) were the ONLY ones that ever helped.

I would love to hear how other freemium players, who missed the previous Star Trek event, are making out. Without any of the character or building, everything seems to be heavily “Peter-driven”, and with 1 torpedo taking 6 hours to get, it will take almost 2 days to get the 6 needed to take out the Borg cubes for Part 4 of the questline, and that assumes you don’t miss a shot! The Tribbles help a bit, but not enough. And I can’t unlock Vulcan Quagmire until I get 18 Space Condoms, that also require taking out spacecraft with MORE torpedos? (Let’s not get into the “are they photon torpedos or phaser shots” discussion here. :)) Apparently Away Missions will help, but then I need Ten Forward open, which requires Gamma Rays, which again require Peter (who is busy getting me torpedoes), or “Uncommon” drops from Tribbles or Borg Cube! (I have only 4 of the 15 needed for Ten Forward.) I guess I can see things speeding up when more outfits are unlocked, but this first part of the game is going to take many days, or many Clams, which I used up on the Big Game event (only to speed up tasks). And 35 Clams only gets you 3 torpedoes? WTD? (And how is that “10% Off” anything, since you can’t buy just 1? :))

I am slowly working towards Vulcan Quagmire, but getting the condoms is slow going. Just got 10 Forward unlocked, but don’t know how I will ever get Troi. Need 18 photos of Riker, but it’s extra rare and only Jerome drops it..on a 24 hour mission!!! WTD!

I’ve only taken out one Borg cube so far, wasted some earlier shots before I realized the 3 hits had to be all at the same time. But I have 4 space condoms for Vulcan Quagmire and just need 14 more. Everything else is already checked off even though I know I didn’t collect the q-tips. The books came pretty quickly since they drop at least two at a time.
Same thing with Deanna Troi. Just started unlocking her, but everything is already checked off (headbands, chocolates) except for those doofus framed pics of Riker. Jerome has a 24 hr task to get them, he must be dropping at least two at a time since there are not 18 days left… I think they are reducing the requirements compared with the longer first event by automatically checking off some items and having multiple drops for others, so they can just recycle the code. In the first event, which I started very late, I had collected everything but the chocolates for Deanna.
Anyway- I would say just go ahead and play the game and don’t worry about the math. Things will probably work out well enough in the end due to the immediate adjustments and any later ones if too many people seem stuck.

On the “good news” side; Looks like Tribbles are spawning more often now. I have had two batches in the two hours I have been playing today!
