Unfortunately, this has been a recurring theme lately. And as you very aptly said, it does not inspire trust.

I too have been boycotting purchases. I used to spend quite a fair bit. More than I'd like to admit to be honest, although I'm sure far less than a lot of the whales.
I'm not yet at a point where that will change any time soon. The trust is simply not there.

Re: Mega Event Discussion: Interstellar Irreverence
We have a full skirmish this week, so I can forgive just a half skirmish for this mega. But that's a lot of tedious button bashing for all those galaxies.

Please confirm how much honor. Please confirm if the other rewards are still there. Please confirm if the odds have changed.
For the record, I am underwhelmed that the new reward is still worse than the reward it is inexplicably replacing. I have no idea why they insist on filler rather than crew. It is mind boggling.
Also for the record, I appreciate that there is some change, even if it is uninspiring and uninspired. I appreciate that it is a vast improvement over the useless replicator rations.

Re: Do Not Airlock Checklist Thread 4
New Version Released 6.27.
In addition to the listed changes, I made a couple of tweaks to the import logic. I've looked at the Datacore logic compared to other sources, and I think what we are seeing on datacore is accurate. They have just cleaned everything up and updated it with all the changes, etc. This did causes significant changes to rankings between 6.25 and 6.26. It seems to be a combination of the version upgrade on datacore and the mass addition of new tiers of collections that impacted crew ratings/stats. I am still doing some comparisons with Datacore and the other sources as I do have a few crew that look out of line but I'm trying to see if that is the case or not. And to be honest it is really just a ton of spot checking when looking for anomalies in the data sets.
IF anyone has some time and wants to help please let me know and I can give you details on what I am looking at as I could use some additional sets of eyes.
"Changed Datacore download link to link to main page and added note in the instructions above about how to access the CSV download.
Added New Crew: Emotionally Heightened T'Lyn, Worst Contact Riker, Displaced Elnor, Displaced Mariner, Out of Time Burnham, Captain Rayner
Added New Series: Short Treks (only Worst Contact Riker, but I anticipate that several existing crew will migrate to this series via hidden trait changes/additions.)
Added New Collection - No Rules"

Re: Mega Event Discussion: Interstellar Irreverence
A couple crew names in the announcement are incorrect.
While I like that we'll get FF new 4* crew in 3 of the 4 events, it certainly seems heavy on galaxy. It's also a shame that the only skirmish is a hybrid.
- Ron Docent = Lt. Commander Ron Docent
- Jen Shre'yan = Ensign Jennifer Sh'reyan

Re: Player Positivity and Accomplishment Thread
Got van Gelder in a Voyage Behold at the 8 hour mark this morning - my first since late December (when I had Grady as an option and chose him):


In a separate issue, I still do not have Chakotay. Maybe another time, lol.
