"New shuttle events"
 
   There's some new shuttle based PVE events, as opposed to the usual fleet defenses and whatnot, in today's patch.

Most interesting is the Starbase Fleet Defense (Shuttle) which awards ~120 of your choice of marks per run, and doesn't seem to have the usual 20 minute STH cooldown because of the way it's been set up.

I've farmed about 500 Dyson marks today and a couple hundred more fleet marks, and I'll probably do a few more go-rounds later.

That definitely sounds like the kind of grind I can live with right now. I've got a fair few spiffy small craft, and the mark return on these events sounds quite promising.

   Yeah, I invested a couple hours and came out of it with the aforementioned Dyson marks and about 500 fleet marks that I dumped into various projects.

   Fuck yeah, I had no idea the rewards would be that good.

Going to fit my free Ferenghi shuttle with the Solenae set, a pair of DBBs and Fire at Will and go to town this arvo.

   Quick words of advice on this:

If you have the Dyson torpedo that drops singularities when it detonates, get that and torpedo spread 1 and you're golden. Even better if you're running the full Dyson weapon set.

It's kinda amusing. Although sadly due to some minor ill or other I fell asleep at my desk rather than farming an oodle of marks.

   Just a general note since I don't know how many of you forget about the calendar button in STO like I do, but if you didn't look ahead to next month, the shuttle event is apparently coming back Sept 11th to the 15th.

Release the swarm. That is all.
