Ugh... Don't know even how to formulate ticket properly... But the only reason I spent Dil on pack with 1 crew I was 100% sure to FF was Yar...

Not sure how you got your Yars, but however you got them all, explain what you went through to get them, money used dil. spent, boosts if you got her as reward.

This makes me realize there are also people who used resources to make top 1000 and failed. The only reason they did it was to achieve a top 1000 place. Just because you failed in the attempt does not mean you are not due compensation for an effort you made to acquire Polywater.

Theres a hard over-reaction to this whole Polywater Yar thing.

Did you ever play for top 15.
I averaged 5.25 hours of sleep through the 4 days. Only one day did I sleep until my alarm for 6 hours of sleep went off. I did try to go back to sleep the first day when I woke after 4 hours of sleep got a couple more hours I think.

Everyday except one did I take any break. Took about two hour break dropped to 15 or 17.

I spent money on the 24.99 offer and the 9.99 offer hoping to get Polywater. Did not get her. Instead I was able to immortalize a Admiral Ross and a second Mirror Garak before event with one extra copy of Ross so after rank awards I would have two Rosses too. This allowed me to have 91,92,92, and 93% success rate on my four shuttle missions. That meant I could time boost them all.
Examining my time boosts I new I needed more I got 4 extra sets of cadet tickets for Thursday, bought the two offers for boosts 4.99 but I knew I was still short .
As the event went on I bought the 50 dil. x10 booster pack as needed. I spent just on those packs over 1500 dil. I believe it was over 2000 but cannot remember if that was before or after the two extra sets of cadet tickets which I normally do not buy.(200,250)

I used up all my three, four and five star time boosts.

I got twelfth place. Was quite pleased that my effort got me the two extra Polywaters (I forgot that my normal Faction I always finish top 1000 so DB I feel only owes me compensation on two.)

I with lack of sleep wanting another Polywater bought the DYC that I had stopped buying (stopped way back in time for all crew except megaevent, I stopped buying for megaevent because I just do not think they are worth $25)

I realize I should have just used honor. But at least my DYC is refundable if not by DB it will be by Google.

All I can say those that think that this Polywater thing is not that big a deal. Have not pushed themselves to rank as high as they could in an event.

My apologies. I truly did not know they actually deleted Crew from peoples' account.s No wonder everyone is mad!!!!!!

They’ve been doing that since the game launched. Even though you purchased crew with money, they delete them from your account in seven days once you are over their arbitrary crew slot limit.

The crew slot limit is not arbitrary.

1. Crew size is a monetized portion of the game. You pay for the privilege of being able to hold a larger crew
2. The game has performance issues as you get a progressively larger crew. The little Green/Yellow icons that show up on the "possible drop" screens are populated by scanning your current crew's available equipment slots and marking what is usable. A larger crew makes this operation (and probably others) progressively more difficult

I’m well aware that it is currently monetized and have all 425 possible slots.

At the beginning of the game it was in no way monetized. There wasn’t even the concept of purchasing crew slots. The concept of purchasing more slots didn’t come into play until DB backed themselves into a corner and realized the design flaw.

But, that’s completely off-topic and beside the point, the point is they have always deleted crew that you purchased. No dancing around it or coming up with explanations changes that fact.

The customer is always right wrong.

Hehe, I was just checking the time-frame for the Mirror Picard fix (three working days, incidentally), and noticed this little gem:

That's quite a long way from:

Just saying.

Just going out on a limb here... could Scott have been affected by one of these issues more than the other?

Wait, what? There can't be any cheating in this game. DB put those popups to deter it. Although I haven't seen one yet.

I didn't see any pop-up in 15 ish hours of constant play. The lack of protection from other players being able to use macros is actually the main reason I have stopped playing this event.

BRACE YOURSELVES EVERYONE, I joined a fleet

I just about had a heart attack.

I maybe on the way out. I've immortalised over 350 characters and the return when you're at that point from packs is very low. And DB customer service is one of the worst I've ever had to deal with. I wasn't affected by the Polywater Yar thing, but if I was I would be extremely annoyed.

My biggest issue by far is the slow pace of development. I really feel STT is being treated like a cash cow, with lots being taken out and very little being put back in by the developers. Also it is painfully obvious that they don't actually play the game, otherwise they would have spotted the skirmish bug months ago.

Maybe they feel they have to do this after losing so much on their other games, but it's still us, the fans of STT, that are paying for their mistakes. And I'm fed up of doing that.

It's not that they nerfed yar it's that they kept selling her when they knew they were going to nerf her. They were selling a product that was not really that product. It was deceptive and false advertising. It also upset a lot of whales. In game compensation like giving people 30 packs or a new legendary would be easy and free for db to do and would ensure the whales kept spending. DB can do as they want but it seems like poor business to upset the top spenders. But if that argument doesn't convince DB maybe this will:
