<br />
The entire Galaxy is going to Red Alert! From August 31st at 8am PT to September 14th at 12pm PT on PC, all of our Red Alert events will be returning at once, as the Final Frontier is caught in a massive invasion on all sides. During this event, you’ll be able to play the following content:<br />
<br />
<br />
	Borg Red Alert<br />
	Elachi Red Alert<br />
	Tholian Red Alert<br />
	Tzenkethi Red Alert*<br />
	Nakuhl Red Alert<br />
	 <br />
<br />
<br />
*Please note: As the only Red Alert with a fail condition, the Tzenkethi Red Alert will not grant daily bonus progress if you fail the TFO. The fail condition will likely be removed in future runs of this event.<br />
<br />
In addition to their usual rewards, these Task Force Operations will also grant daily bonus progress. You’ll receive one Daily Progress each day for completing one Red Alert – doesn’t matter which one – on any character on your account. After you receive ten daily progress, you’ll be rewarded with a package containing the following, once per account:<br />
<br />
<br />
	An Ultimate Tech Upgrade<br />
	A Specialization Point<br />
	An Experimental Ship Upgrade Token<br />
	 <br />
<br />
<br />
You can also purchase this Grand Prize on the events page, if you’d prefer. The price will be prorated as you earn Daily Progress, becoming cheaper the more you play.<br />
<br />
If you earn, or purchase, the event’s Grand Prize, you can still complete Red Alerts to earn Bonus Progress. Completing a Red Alert TFO each day will grant a bonus amount of Dilithium Ore, beginning at 8,000 and increasing by 1,000 for each completion thereafter.<br />
<br />
Red Alert Task Force Operations are available to Captains of level 50 or higher. Head out and defend the Galaxy, Captains! Go to Red Alert!<br />

Greetings, one and all! Welcome to my little corner of the galaxy, far away from the prying eyes of the Khitomer bzzt Alliance. Some of you are repeat customers, and I’m glad to see your faces, and so many new ones as well! You’re all like my family here, bzzt believe me. Today, I have something special for you. You’ve tooled around in giant warships before, of course. But what about something a bit more compact? Would you like to go, dare I say, cruising about the universe? Then perhaps you should take a look at my latest bundle of wares, friends. Right this way.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Mudd is opening the doors on a new Choice Pack on August 24th! Purchase the Mudd&#39;s Cruiserweight Choice Pack for 29500 Zen, and choose any three of the above options! But that&#39;s not all - this pack will be 50% off from 8/24 @ 8am PT – 9/7 @ 12pm PT. Choose from the following options:<br />
<br />
<br />
	23rd Century Ship Pack [T6]<br />
	<br />
		Temporal Light Cruiser [T6]<br />
		D7 Temporal Battlecruiser [T6]<br />
		T&#39;liss Temporal Warbird [T6]<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	Jem&#39;Hadar Light Battlecruiser [T6]<br />
	Walker-class Light Exploration Cruiser [T6]<br />
	50x Master Keys<br />
	16x Elite Bridge Officer Upgrade Tokens<br />
	[300x Pack] Lobi Crystals<br />
	10x Ultimate Tech Upgrades<br />
	 <br />
<br />
<br />
We&#39;re adding a special version of the pack! The Mudd&#39;s MEGA Cruiserweight Bundle is a one stop purchase to obtain all eight items in the pack at once! The pack contains all seven items, no choices needed. It will also launch on 8/24, for 60000 Zen, but will be 50% off until 9/7 at 12pm PT. Here&#39;s how it works:<br />
<br />
The MEGA Cruiserweight Bundle will appear in Mudd&#39;s Market at the same time as the Cruiserweight Choice Pack. This is a once per account purchase. When purchased, it will disappear from the store. If you&#39;d like, you can still purchase the Cruiserweight Pack for more of the non-ship items.<br />
<br />
Purchasing the MEGA Cruiserweight Bundle will drop an item in your inventory, that you can unpack to receive the items.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you wish to buy both the MEGA Cruiserweight Bundle and the Cruiserweight Choice Pack, you must purchase the bundle first. Any purchase of the Choice Pack will cause the Bundle to disappear from the store.<br />
<br />
Never seen one of these packs before? Seen them all but still unsure how they work? Here&#39;s an FAQ just for you:<br />
<br />
Each time I buy this pack, I get to choose any three items?<br />
<br />
Yes! Even if you only purchase it once, the Mudd&#39;s Cruiserweight Choice Pack allows you to choose any three of the above ships, upgrades and more. You can choose multiples of the same item, as long as its not a ship.<br />
<br />
Are the ships bound to the character that buys them?<br />
<br />
Nope! The ships are account unlocks, like everything in the Zen Store. Once you purchase the bundle and choose any of the ships, you unlock that ship for all your characters, immediately, and all future characters.<br />
<br />
Can I claim a second ship of the same type?<br />
<br />
Also no. Because the ships are unlocked for your entire account, you only need to choose each ship once. Therefore, should you purchase a bundle and choose the Jem&#39;Hadar Light Battlecruiser and two non-ship items, if you purchase a second bundle, you won’t be able to choose the Jem&#39;Hadar Light Battlecruiser again.<br />
<br />
But I can choose the non-ship items again?<br />
<br />
You sure can. You can choose anything that&#39;s not a ship up to three times each, per purchase of the bundle.<br />
<br />
Even within the same purchase?<br />
<br />
That’s right. If you only want Upgrades, you can purchase this bundle once, choose the Upgrades three times, and get 30 Upgrades. It’s up to you!<br />
<br />
Do I have to purchase more than one bundle to get all the items?<br />
<br />
Yes, unless you buy the MEGA Bundle.<br />
<br />
Do I have to purchase more than one bundle?<br />
<br />
No! If you just want three of the ships, or any other combination, just purchase it once, claim the three items you want, and never think of it again.<br />
<br />
Do I have to purchase this bundle?<br />
<br />
That’s really up to you, friend.<br />
<br />
Does flying in a Cruiser mean I have to fly at cruising speed?<br />
<br />
….what<br />
<br />
By the way, everything in Mudd&#39;s Market that isn&#39;t a Bundle is on sale for 75% off from August 24th at 8am PT to August 28th at 12pm PT! Grab more for your Zen!<br />

<br />
Still striving to get the greatest performance out of your equipment? This weekend will be the perfect time to apply Tech Upgrades to your gear, as we’re doubling the amount of Technology Points earned from each one applied!<br />
<br />
From August 17th at 8am PT to August 21st at 12pm PT on PC, every Tech Upgrade used will apply twice as many Technology Points toward your next Upgrade! This in turn reduces the amount of Dilithium that must be spent to reach each Upgrade threshold, allowing Captains additional chances to attain both Mark and Rarity increases on their favored load outs.<br />

<br />
 <br />
<br />
Event Campaign – Part IV:  <br />
<br />
<br />
	<br />
	No Win Scenario Event:  <br />
<br />
	<br />
		This Featured Event is the fourth of a series of upcoming Events that will participate in the latest multi-event system known as an Event Campaign.  <br />
		This Event will include multiple TFOs previously featured individually in a combined Featured Event that will allow players to choose their preferred test each day. <br />
		<br />
			The event versions of “Kobayashi Maru” and “Arena of Sompek” can be accessed via the new Event UI, accessible within your Mission Journal by pressing on the “Events” Tab. <br />
		<br />
		<br />
		Participating in this Event will give all players the opportunity to win the Protostar Experimental Technologies Space Set for their entire account! <br />
	<br />
	<br />
	Rewards:  <br />
	<br />
		Players will be able to earn their Daily Progress once every 20 hours.  <br />
		Accruing a total of 14 days’ worth of Daily Progress will allow you to  claim all of these rewards: <br />
		<br />
			Protostar Experimental Technologies Space Set <br />
			<br />
				Protostar Multiplicative Covariant Shield <br />
				Protostar Omni-Beam Phaser <br />
				Protostar Dual Warp Core/Dual Singularity Core <br />
			<br />
			<br />
			25,000 Dilithium Ore (once only). <br />
			3x Featured TFO Reward Boxes (once only). <br />
			<br />
				Each gives a choice of 1x Specialization Point or an Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrade. <br />
			<br />
			<br />
		<br />
		<br />
		Bonus Rewards: <br />
		<br />
			After claiming the Grand Prize, you will unlock the option of earning additional Dilithium Ore each day, beginning at 8,000 Dilithium Ore for the first day’s completion, and increasing for subsequent days. <br />
		<br />
		<br />
		Zen Buyout Option:  <br />
		<br />
			For players interested in instantly completing the No Win Scenario Event, we will be offering the option to purchase the remaining progress of this event at a scaling amount of Zen, as with other recent events. <br />
		<br />
		<br />
		A Second Chance:  <br />
		<br />
			Progress after the Event has ended will remain in an all new Second Chance interface, allowing the option to buyout rewards long after the Event has expired.  <br />
		<br />
		<br />
	<br />
	<br />
<br />
<br />
For more information, please visit the “Do you Believe in a No Win Scenario?” blog at: <a href="https://www.playstartrekonline.com/en/news/article/11550673" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://www.playstartrekonline.com/en/ne...e/11550673</a> <br />
<br />
General:  <br />
<br />
<br />
	Resolved an issue that allowed some captains to accidently hit their Energy Credit limit when claiming Energy Credits from their mail. <br />
	Resolved an issue that prevented the “Shorts – Terran 2” from being properly unlocked with the Mirror Universe Bundle. <br />
	Resolved an issue that caused the Undine Cheirax Warship [T6] to not commission with all of the items that were intended for captains below level 10. <br />
	Resolved an issues that caused the Terran Empire Agony Phaser Weapons box to not grant the correct items to Captains at level 50. <br />
	Added the ability to equip the Console – Universal – Nadion Saturation Bomb onto the Cyclone Intel Escort [T6] Ship. <br />
	Resolved an issue that caused the Advanced Inhibiting Polaron Heavy Turret to use the wrong FX when firing. <br />
<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
Known Issues: <br />
<br />
<br />
	Currently when the Protostar Multiplicative Covariant Shield Array is equipped, it will display “No Shields” for Shield Regeneration Rate in the Stats tab of the status window.  The shields are granting shield regeneration rate but it is not being displayed in this window. <br />

			The event versions of “Kobayashi Maru” and “Arena of Sompek” can be accessed via the new Event UI, accessible within your Mission Journal by pressing on the “Events” Tab. <br />
		<br />

			After claiming the Grand Prize, you will unlock the option of earning additional Dilithium Ore each day, beginning at 8,000 Dilithium Ore for the first day’s completion, and increasing for subsequent days. <br />
		<br />
		<br />
		Zen Buyout Option:  <br />
		<br />
			For players interested in instantly completing the No Win Scenario Event, we will be offering the option to purchase the remaining progress of this event at a scaling amount of Zen, as with other recent events. <br />
		<br />
		<br />
		A Second Chance:  <br />
		<br />
			Progress after the Event has ended will remain in an all new Second Chance interface, allowing the option to buyout rewards long after the Event has expired.  <br />

			<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Star Trek Day</span><br />
<br />
On September 8th, 1966, the world first met a group of people, and a ship, that would change our lives forever. Pitched as “wagon train to the stars", and brought to TV by the force of Lucille Ball’s will, Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek hit tiny television screens around the world and immediately captured hearts and minds. Through three seasons, and decades in syndication, The Original Series started a movement that still lasts today, more than half a century later. We live in a time where there’s more new Star Trek than ever before, and we’re looking forward to celebrating the franchise’s birthday soon with the rest of our Star Trek Family.<br />
<br />
From August 10th at 8am PT until August 24th at 12pm PT, on all platforms, there will be a special Starfleet Museum in orbit above Deep Space Nine and Earth Space Dock. The museum contains the starring ships from Star Trek movies, television, and more. Hailing each ship will give you words from their crew, and both in universe and behind the scenes facts about the ship and show. Hailing all ten of the ships will grant you a special title: Historical Documents Expert.<br />
<br />
We hope you enjoy this celebration, Captains! Happy (early) Star Trek Day!<br />
<br />

			<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Command the Friendship Class!</span><br />
<br />
The Friendship-class Flight Deck Carrier is as elegant as it is versatile, and its ability to empower its own hangar flights makes it excellent at supporting its allies. Power-transfer modules that provide windows of starship-level energy to small craft can also light cities during disasters, and the same carrier fleet group that projects power along the boarder can add considerable teeth to even civilian craft. There is alignment here between warm hearts and cold tritanium – Starfleet is a deeply principled organization, but it is not in the business of sentimentality in starship design, and those it sends to fight its battles will always have the best it can provide. This ability to get equipment and power where it needs to go is useful in both diplomacy and combat because it is more primal, more fundamental than either. When hearts and heads align, the greatest strides of progress are made.<br />

Activating this Console provides target non-self Ally with a sizable boost to Critical Chance, increased dramatically if your target is a Hangar Pet or Separated Ship Segment. Whenever your Ally Critically Strikes, a blast of Electrical energy is released, damaging both your Ally&#39;s target and up to two other nearby Foes. This damage is increased dramatically if your Ally is a Hangar Pet or Separated Ship Segment, and is improved by the Weapon Power of the Ally.<br />

This Console additionally provides increases to Critical Strike Chance, Hangar Pet Critical Strike Chance, and Hull Restoration Skill.<br />
<br />
Starship Trait - Cooperation is the Dominant Strategy<br />
<br />
Using a Bridge Officer or Console Ability on an Ally provides bonus Damage. This buff stacks up to 5 times, lasts 30 sec, and each new application refreshes the duration of all stacks. If the target is a Hangar Pet, it receives a much larger bonus.<br />
<br />
Again and again, both in the natural world and interstellar politics, the simple ability to work together has proven indispensable. Groups which can adapt to each other and set aside their differences thrive.<br />

<br />
The Friendship-class Flight Deck Carrier is as elegant as it is versatile, and its ability to empower its own hangar flights makes it excellent at supporting its allies. Power-transfer modules that provide windows of starship-level energy to small craft can also light cities during disasters, and the same carrier fleet group that projects power along the boarder can add considerable teeth to even civilian craft. There is alignment here between warm hearts and cold tritanium – Starfleet is a deeply principled organization, but it is not in the business of sentimentality in starship design, and those it sends to fight its battles will always have the best it can provide. This ability to get equipment and power where it needs to go is useful in both diplomacy and combat because it is more primal, more fundamental than either. When hearts and heads align, the greatest strides of progress are made.<br />

Console – Universal – Transfer Power Emitters<br />
<br />
Activating this Console provides target non-self Ally with a sizable boost to Critical Chance, increased dramatically if your target is a Hangar Pet or Separated Ship Segment. Whenever your Ally Critically Strikes, a blast of Electrical energy is released, damaging both your Ally&#39;s target and up to two other nearby Foes. This damage is increased dramatically if your Ally is a Hangar Pet or Separated Ship Segment, and is improved by the Weapon Power of the Ally.<br />
<br />
This Console additionally provides increases to Critical Strike Chance, Hangar Pet Critical Strike Chance, and Hull Restoration Skill.<br />
<br />
Starship Trait - Cooperation is the Dominant Strategy<br />
<br />
Using a Bridge Officer or Console Ability on an Ally provides bonus Damage. This buff stacks up to 5 times, lasts 30 sec, and each new application refreshes the duration of all stacks. If the target is a Hangar Pet, it receives a much larger bonus.<br />
<br />
Again and again, both in the natural world and interstellar politics, the simple ability to work together has proven indispensable. Groups which can adapt to each other and set aside their differences thrive.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Do you Believe in a No Win Scenario?</span><br />
<br />
From across the quadrants, Captains of all species and creeds understand the value of occasionally pushing themselves to the limits – to find out just how far their equipment, and their willpower, can take them, and just how much fight they can muster when the situation is at its direst. Screw your courage to its sticking place, and dive headlong into these classic tests of mettle – dare to face the No Win Scenarios.<br />
<br />
This Event will include multiple TFOs previously featured individually in a combined Featured Event that will allow players to choose their preferred test each day, while earning Daily Progress toward a new grand prize reward. Defend the Kobayashi Maru in a starship-based simulation in a hazard-strewn space environment, or take on wave after wave of randomized enemy encounters within the dangerous confines of the Arena of Sompek.<br />
<br />
Participating in this Event will give all players the opportunity to win a new space set based on the Protostar from Star Trek: Prodigy for their entire account! Keep reading for details on these items, how you can participate in the Event, and what additional prizes may be earned. <br />
<br />
Take the Tests Again<br />
<br />
Two existing activities will be participating in this Event:<br />
<br />
Arena of Sompek – Ground TFO<br />
<br />
In the interest of strengthening the Alliance against its enemies, and providing entertainment, the Klingons have agreed to allow other members to participate in the legendary qaD HoS event. You’ve been invited to Qo’noS to participate as representatives of the Alliance. It will be good practice for the battles ahead, and should be good for morale.<br />
<br />
The Event version of the simulation ends after you complete Round 7.<br />
<br />
Kobayashi Maru – Space TFO<br />
<br />
The legendary Kobayashi Maru simulation has been updated to represent more of the risks of the modern galactic environment. Defend the ill-fated E.C.S. Kobayashi Maru from attackers amidst increasingly-dangerous waves of enemies, while avoiding randomized obstacles and hazards.<br />
<br />
The Event version of the simulation ends after you complete Round 6.<br />
<br />
While most of the action players will engage in during these TFOs have not changed for this event, a few minor adjustments have been made to each that will be present for the length of this Event’s run:<br />
<br />
<br />
	As noted above, each has a fixed duration during this Event. Prior to the designated ending point, neither can be failed.<br />
	During this Event, the Untimed/Infinite versions of these TFOs will be temporarily disabled.<br />
	Each completion will reward a Choice of All Marks (replacing the usual Mark rewards)<br />
	Both TFOs have had their Cooldown Timers temporarily disabled<br />
<br />
<br />
Review Your Results<br />
<br />
Viewing the details of this Event in-game is as simple as opening your Journal and navigating to the “Events” tab. From here, all of the pertinent information is at your fingertips, as are simple-to-use buttons that allow quick access to the associated Content for this Event.  <br />
<br />
As a core feature of the updated Event System, all Progress Points gained toward completion of the Event are shared across your entire Account, and all earned Progress is automatically tracked and applied toward completing the Event.<br />
<br />
Players will be able to earn their Daily Progress once every 20 hours. Either of the above TFOs may be played as much as you like each day, so pick and choose how you prefer to gain Progress each day, and mix it up as much (or as little) as you like! <br />
<br />
Event Campaign<br />
<br />
The No Win Scenarios Event will be one of the Events participating in the latest Event Campaign. Each day that your Daily Requirement is met, the standard daily allotment of 50 Event Campaign Progress will be applied to your progress toward the completion of the Event Campaign’s Grand Prize.<br />
<br />
Rewards <br />
<br />
Accruing a total of 14 Days’ worth of Daily Progress will allow you to claim the Grand Prize of this Event. This reward includes all of the following: <br />
<br />
Protostar Experimental Technologies Space Set<br />
<br />
Based on one of Starfleet&#39;s most intriguing and mysterious starships, the Protostar, this set of space technology will bring you to the bleeding edge of modern spacefaring tech. This set comes with a Warp Core or Singularity Drive, and Omni-Directional Beam, and a Shield. Here are the details:<br />
<br />
Protostar Multiplicative Covariant Shield<br />
<br />
The Protostar Multiplicative Covariant Shield grants you a unique, Protostar based visual, and includes a special bonus that causes shield regen to improve on facings where shield strength is low.<br />
<br />
Protostar Omni-Beam Phaser<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This phaser is a standard omni-directional phaser, with new visuals based on the Protostar in Star Trek Prodigy.<br />
<br />
Protostar Dual Warp Core/Dual Singularity Core<br />
<br />
This special duel warp/singularity core gives bonuses to power levels while at high throttle and bonus to turn rate while at low throttle.<br />
<br />
Equipping mulitple items in the set creates bonuses for your ship. If you equip two out of the three pieces, you gain a bonus to shield drain resistance, and a bonus to critical chance for science powers. If you equip all three, you can the ability to offensively eject your warp core in combat. It looks a little something like this:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
3x Featured TFO Reward Boxes<br />
<br />
Each gives a choice of 1x Specialization Point or an Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrade<br />
<br />
25,000 Dilithium Ore<br />
<br />
Issued immediately for use as you see fit!<br />
<br />
(Note: The Featured TFO Boxes and Dilithium Ore are only rewarded once, to the first character on your account that claims the Grand Prize.)<br />
<br />
Bonus Rewards <br />
<br />
After claiming the Grand Prize, you will unlock the option of earning additional Dilithium Ore each day that you continue participating in the content associated with this Event. Each day you earn the Daily Progress you will be automatically granted a bundle of Dilithium Ore. <br />
<br />
This bonus reward will begin at 8,000 Dilithium Ore for the first day’s completion, then scales up with each subsequent bonus completion that you achieve. The more you play, the more you continue to earn! <br />
<br />
Zen Buyout Option <br />
<br />
For players interested in instantly completing this Event – whether that is due to worries over finding the play time to complete it, or simply wanting to move immediately into earning Bonus Rewards – we will be offering a method for buying out. <br />
<br />
Within the Event UI, an option will be presented that allows you to purchase the remaining progress that you need, for a scaling amount of Zen. The base price for this service will be 2,000 Zen, but every single Daily Progress that you earn will reduce that price on a percentage basis. Thus, if you have already earned 7 Daily Progress (half of the 14 required), this price will be reduced for you down to 1,000 Zen. The more you play, the cheaper the Buyout Option becomes, dynamically! <br />
<br />
A Second Chance <br />
<br />
Once this Event has ended, your opportunity to earn Progress Points will have passed. However, the Event System will store the progress that you made long after the Event has expired. Based on this stored progress, the option to Buyout the rewards will remain available through a new “Second Chance” section of the Zen Store. The price for this buyout is the same as what is offered while the Event is active, and scales in the same manner based on your amount of Progress Points accrued.<br />
<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Do you Believe in a No Win Scenario?</span><br />
<br />
From across the quadrants, Captains of all species and creeds understand the value of occasionally pushing themselves to the limits – to find out just how far their equipment, and their willpower, can take them, and just how much fight they can muster when the situation is at its direst. Screw your courage to its sticking place, and dive headlong into these classic tests of mettle – dare to face the No Win Scenarios.<br />
<br />
This Event will include multiple TFOs previously featured individually in a combined Featured Event that will allow players to choose their preferred test each day, while earning Daily Progress toward a new grand prize reward. Defend the Kobayashi Maru in a starship-based simulation in a hazard-strewn space environment, or take on wave after wave of randomized enemy encounters within the dangerous confines of the Arena of Sompek.<br />
<br />
Participating in this Event will give all players the opportunity to win a new space set based on the Protostar from Star Trek: Prodigy for their entire account! Keep reading for details on these items, how you can participate in the Event, and what additional prizes may be earned. <br />
<br />
Take the Tests Again<br />
<br />
Two existing activities will be participating in this Event:<br />
<br />
Arena of Sompek – Ground TFO<br />
<br />
In the interest of strengthening the Alliance against its enemies, and providing entertainment, the Klingons have agreed to allow other members to participate in the legendary qaD HoS event. You’ve been invited to Qo’noS to participate as representatives of the Alliance. It will be good practice for the battles ahead, and should be good for morale.<br />
<br />
The Event version of the simulation ends after you complete Round 7.<br />
<br />
Kobayashi Maru – Space TFO<br />
<br />
The legendary Kobayashi Maru simulation has been updated to represent more of the risks of the modern galactic environment. Defend the ill-fated E.C.S. Kobayashi Maru from attackers amidst increasingly-dangerous waves of enemies, while avoiding randomized obstacles and hazards.<br />
<br />
The Event version of the simulation ends after you complete Round 6.<br />
<br />
While most of the action players will engage in during these TFOs have not changed for this event, a few minor adjustments have been made to each that will be present for the length of this Event’s run:<br />
<br />
<br />
	As noted above, each has a fixed duration during this Event. Prior to the designated ending point, neither can be failed.<br />
	During this Event, the Untimed/Infinite versions of these TFOs will be temporarily disabled.<br />
	Each completion will reward a Choice of All Marks (replacing the usual Mark rewards)<br />
	Both TFOs have had their Cooldown Timers temporarily disabled<br />
<br />
<br />
Review Your Results<br />
<br />
Viewing the details of this Event in-game is as simple as opening your Journal and navigating to the “Events” tab. From here, all of the pertinent information is at your fingertips, as are simple-to-use buttons that allow quick access to the associated Content for this Event.  <br />
<br />
As a core feature of the updated Event System, all Progress Points gained toward completion of the Event are shared across your entire Account, and all earned Progress is automatically tracked and applied toward completing the Event.<br />
<br />
Players will be able to earn their Daily Progress once every 20 hours. Either of the above TFOs may be played as much as you like each day, so pick and choose how you prefer to gain Progress each day, and mix it up as much (or as little) as you like! <br />
<br />
Event Campaign<br />
<br />
The No Win Scenarios Event will be one of the Events participating in the latest Event Campaign. Each day that your Daily Requirement is met, the standard daily allotment of 50 Event Campaign Progress will be applied to your progress toward the completion of the Event Campaign’s Grand Prize.<br />
<br />
Rewards <br />
<br />
Accruing a total of 14 Days’ worth of Daily Progress will allow you to claim the Grand Prize of this Event. This reward includes all of the following: <br />
<br />
Protostar Experimental Technologies Space Set<br />
<br />
Based on one of Starfleet&#39;s most intriguing and mysterious starships, the Protostar, this set of space technology will bring you to the bleeding edge of modern spacefaring tech. This set comes with a Warp Core or Singularity Drive, and Omni-Directional Beam, and a Shield. Here are the details:<br />
<br />
Protostar Multiplicative Covariant Shield<br />
<br />
The Protostar Multiplicative Covariant Shield grants you a unique, Protostar based visual, and includes a special bonus that causes shield regen to improve on facings where shield strength is low.<br />
<br />
Protostar Omni-Beam Phaser<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This phaser is a standard omni-directional phaser, with new visuals based on the Protostar in Star Trek Prodigy.<br />
<br />
Protostar Dual Warp Core/Dual Singularity Core<br />
<br />
This special duel warp/singularity core gives bonuses to power levels while at high throttle and bonus to turn rate while at low throttle.<br />
<br />
Equipping mulitple items in the set creates bonuses for your ship. If you equip two out of the three pieces, you gain a bonus to shield drain resistance, and a bonus to critical chance for science powers. If you equip all three, you can the ability to offensively eject your warp core in combat. It looks a little something like this:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
3x Featured TFO Reward Boxes<br />
<br />
Each gives a choice of 1x Specialization Point or an Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrade<br />
<br />
25,000 Dilithium Ore<br />
<br />
Issued immediately for use as you see fit!<br />
<br />
(Note: The Featured TFO Boxes and Dilithium Ore are only rewarded once, to the first character on your account that claims the Grand Prize.)<br />
<br />
Bonus Rewards <br />
<br />
After claiming the Grand Prize, you will unlock the option of earning additional Dilithium Ore each day that you continue participating in the content associated with this Event. Each day you earn the Daily Progress you will be automatically granted a bundle of Dilithium Ore. <br />
<br />
This bonus reward will begin at 8,000 Dilithium Ore for the first day’s completion, then scales up with each subsequent bonus completion that you achieve. The more you play, the more you continue to earn! <br />
<br />
Zen Buyout Option <br />
<br />
For players interested in instantly completing this Event – whether that is due to worries over finding the play time to complete it, or simply wanting to move immediately into earning Bonus Rewards – we will be offering a method for buying out. <br />
<br />
Within the Event UI, an option will be presented that allows you to purchase the remaining progress that you need, for a scaling amount of Zen. The base price for this service will be 2,000 Zen, but every single Daily Progress that you earn will reduce that price on a percentage basis. Thus, if you have already earned 7 Daily Progress (half of the 14 required), this price will be reduced for you down to 1,000 Zen. The more you play, the cheaper the Buyout Option becomes, dynamically! <br />
<br />
A Second Chance <br />
<br />
Once this Event has ended, your opportunity to earn Progress Points will have passed. However, the Event System will store the progress that you made long after the Event has expired. Based on this stored progress, the option to Buyout the rewards will remain available through a new “Second Chance” section of the Zen Store. The price for this buyout is the same as what is offered while the Event is active, and scales in the same manner based on your amount of Progress Points accrued.<br />
<br />
Legacy Progress<br />
<br />
As with previous Events, we will continue offering the opportunity for players to utilize their old Event tokens to apply toward this Event. To access this functionality, select the “Legacy Progress” button on the Event UI. This button will only be visible to players that have tokens available to trade in.<br />
<br />
Availability<br />
<br />
The No Win Scenarios Event will become available for players on PC starting on August 10th at 8am PT and continuing until August 31st at 12pm PT. Console Captains will be receiving the same event soon!<br />
