Empty of the Mind

This page describes the Event called *****Empty of the Mind*****  for TOS characters and starships. This Event features the Entellan race....

this event has started at the following dates:

* (past history)...
* Calendar-2017-01-11

## Three versions

* Blue = Easy
* Yellow = Normal
* Purple = Legendary

All three versions use the same storyline about an Entellan rebellion which is only discovered by Mister Spock using his mind-meld technique ; The storyline is split into 12 missions and 6 bonus missions. These 12+6 missions are further described by:

* The storyline chart:
	+ Summarizes the storyline and each mission's prize amounts.
	+ For example, if there are 12-missions with 8-bonus-missions and each mission rewards 4 prizes; then the summary reads **?/20 and ?/80**.
* The enemies chart gives details (for each difficulty) of your opponents.
* The scoring charts (one chart per difficulty-level):
	+ Gives details of all the prizes (up to 4) that can be earned for each mission.
	+ The points earned can also activate more prizes described later.

### Storyline

#### Trivia

* The English-translation for **Challenge** (Bonus) level-Titles is missing, the Spanish-word used is Desafio (iirc)...
* On level 6.5, the Easy icons show 3 prizes, but there are actually 4 prizes...

### Scoring

an important issue concerning points: the Level-points listed below are the max-amount of points possible per-win... each time you play a specific-level, the points-you-can-earn to REplay that same-level drops by half - with a 1 hr timer attached... for fastest-play you can play the same level immediately 4 times in a row, but you would only earn 1.0 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.125 = 1.875 times the points for your overall score... for best-points, you can play the same-level those same four times but with at least 1-hour wall-time gaps, and you would earn 4 times the points for overall score... Thus, you can earn more-than-double (4 vs. 1.9) the points by delaying your replays of a level...

#### Trivia

## Overall Prizes

Each version has a series of overall prizes that can be earned as you accumulate the points for each level-win... These are documented in the bottom-area under Rewards... There is a second item in this bottom-area for Ranking, however I have never really been able to effect much difference here because there are so many people playing the game and so many team-members that make-up an Alliance...

Each version also has a mind-meld series of prizes that you can claim that is represented by the thermometer-bar at the top of the level-listing... Once that bar has reached the full (RHS) status, you can click on the mind-meld icon and accept them... BEWARE that you can currently only mind-meld with one-set of prizes, i think... idk - there is something subtle going on with it - so i now choose to mind-meld with the LEGENDARY series, since those have the highest-level prizes... at one point, i DID choose a different series because i wanted a specific prize (character or starship) that only it contained...

### Ranking-Prizes

there are two-sets of ranking-prizes, the solo efforts (labelled **Players**) and the team efforts (labelled **Alliances**). during gameplay you can look at your scores in both areas/tabs and try to improve your ranking, but generally there are so many other players involved that these prizes seem less likely to be changed or achieved through your own efforts...

at the top of the sub-screen, you will see a star-ranking of both YOU and your team...
the subtitle for these prizes are ***Rewards by position***:

#### Trivia

* EASY note: all prizes are the same, just the characters are different...
