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:
- Borg Red Alert
- Elachi Red Alert
- Tholian Red Alert
- Tzenkethi Red Alert*
- Nakuhl Red Alert
*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.
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:
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.
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.
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!
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but didn’t we just do this?
I think they’re now using Red Alerts as filler between other events. So, in this case, there’s likely something else coming on September 14 and this is just meant to hold things over until then.
You know what would’ve worked well in the span of time from Aug 31 to Sept 14… Star Trek Day. Since, you know, it happens Sept 8. sigh

I think you’re right. And it would be nice if they would just. not. While I know we can just not play them, I am burned out by events and it doesn’t help when they just have events as fillers between events. Seriously, when was the last day there wasn’t an event running?

@Indy Omfg, the thought still makes me facepalm. It’s a huuuge missed opportunity! Gaaahhh

@Perrin42 I was wondering the same thing, I returned to the game just this past April, and I’m not sure. It does seem a bit busy, but I’m thinking they must be pushing the grindy events to keep people playing. They’re making serious bank on all the in-game purchases, that’s my theory.
They are definitely milking the cash cow hard, but doing a minimum of feeding.
Me, I like red alerts. Fast in and out, a few seconds and it’s easy marks and some mastery xp. I’ll be finishing up a few more masteries this time around. I do wish they’d switch the prizes up a bit and offer something other than ship x-tokens. I have a huge stack of those, between the legendary packs and constant events.
Heh, yeah, this ended two weeks ago, and here it is again! I wonder if their scheduling got screwed up? I thought for sure bonus marks would be next.
