# Strategic Action Ribbons for STO gaming are earned by:

# A qualifying submission for this award should contain a screenshot with proof that a qualifying action has been completed.
## Multiple actions of the same type should be submitted as a single submission.
## Events can be submitted for Strategic Action Ribbons with a screenshot of the completed event for the same amount of Strategic Action Ribbons as the daily amount it would require to complete the event, as a replacement for submitting for each daily progress individually and only counting for solo actions. For example, if the event were to take twenty (20) days to complete, you could submit for a lump sum of twenty (20) ribbons.
### For event purposes only, this submission can extend the daily cap limit if the total lists over twenty days.
# Strategic Action Ribbons counts for each qualifying action are calculated with the following formula:
Number of Actions Completed x Content Modifier x Other Modifier = Total Ribbons

  3. Each game can have a modifier based on the difficulty of the action performed or criteria like victory or achieving certain in-game awards.
