By my calculations many of us should now have completed, or be near to completing the year's event campaign grind. There's still a 5th event to go but the number of required tokens seems to have most people finishing during this current phase.
So what are people choosing as their rewards?
The list of options are pretty vast and tbh it's a hard choice for many of us I'm sure! I know some people have a very specific ship they were looking forward to as well.
Me personally; I'm testing out a few ships on the Tribble test server before I make the choice on the main server.
I'm torn between the S31 Battlecruiser and one of the Enterprise ships perhaps.
For anyone unsure how to get a character to Tribble, follow the link below and select the character with the pack to copy to the Tribble server:

Once you've done that on the launcher there is the option at the bottom left for which server to launch onto; simply select Tribble, let it patch and away you go. Anything you do on Tribble doesn't affect your character on the main server and you can copy them over as many times as you want there.
I ended up with an Atlas. Very seriously considered a Valkis but I've been leaning towards faster stuff lately. Seems like a lot of people are going for the S31 HCBC or the Inquiry.
I tested the Inquiry out and tbh, it's just a dammed ugly looking Avenger at the end of the day so not worth it imo. You can get the Avenger/Arbiter as account bound unlock and it's almost exactly the same ship.
Some people will like it but that deflector is just.....shudder.
I finish tomorrow and despite a little brief consideration towards the S31 Battlecruiser, my pick is going to be the Inquiry. She's a mainline, contemporary Starfleet vessel and even though I don't generally play these days, I've already got a name and registry picked out for her.

I'd probably stay away from the Atlas or any lockbox/promo TOS starships until they announce the next Mudd Bundle. With the TOS Recruitment and the Legendary Miranda, it's very likely it'll contain the Atlas which will make it an account unlock. The Mudd Bundles appear to be spaced 3-4 months apart and the last one was released early-mid June.

This as i said the other day on fleet events is one the very reasons on to why i am still undecided the dates at the moment the timing fits for a TOS/Mirror bundle.

That occurred to me, but unless there is a really good sale that might coax me into buying Zen, I won't have enough for a Mudd's bundle like that for a long while, and I suspect that the dilex will crater even harder if such a bundle does happen, shutting down that Zen option. I am pretty content with the ships I fly already and alt hop a lot, so ultimately I wasn't too stressed about what I picked for one toon at the end of the day.

Yeah.....about that. As of right now, the dil backlog is hovering between 7k and 8k ZEN, it was over 100k a few hours ago, and iirc around 800k a few days ago. Weird how people are buying dil like there's a new dil sink, but there's that option for getting ZEN for probably only a few days.
Since I was a moron who never went for the extra rewards in the first campaigns, I'm still sitting at ~2800 points, but I'm leaning either towards the 2x T6 ship tokens or the DSC Enterprise.

Unless your account is brand new and you don't have any t6 ships at all, really, like zero T6 ships, the two T6 ship tokens are a pretty bad choice. Even the lobi is a hard sell vs a promo ship but still better than the T6 tokens. You can reasonably grind out the EC for a T6 ship token in 2-6 months depending on your methods. That amount of lobi is far harder to get with how bad the Dil exchange is right now, and a Promo ship you can just forget it. Way better off getting a real job and just paying for it that way than the insane grind for one of those.
