HU-MAANS! I suspect everyone will get a SNW Spock (or possibly Pike) to smooth things over. I also predict a premature portal update.

W.W. Carlisle

You called it. Now, we need to start confirming.

NoNameNamer

Confirmed:
- All 71 crew Shan listed are now in the portal
- All 70 new constellations are available (3* Janitor does not get one)
- All 9 new polestars are available

Will Ripper be getting the tardigrade trait? He doesn’t have it as of now.

I am not good with names and not good with remembering names and such. I just got these who I needed, so I assume they are new.

Actually, no. Bajoran Culber and Lieutenant Georgiou aren't new to the portal. I think they went in last time or maybe the time before in Georgiou's case.
There's only nine 4* crew added that I need to finish, plus Seven and Kirk for fusing to make eleven useful purple crew. I want Kov. I missed out on him in the pack and I have just a handful of Enterprise crew I'm missing.

I will happily pass this matrix of leadership on to someone else. Running three confirmations threads is more than enough.

DScottHewitt

Cabot Janitor from another free Basic Ten Pull.

(A) Traveling Man

Sigh. No Liana. My hopes of finally catching them all are dashed for another 6-12 months. Unless we get a crew offer or a pack that has her? Pretty please?

John Luck Pikkard

I can confirm Gomtu schematics. Forgot about the screenshot though

Zombie Squirrel

Did nobody read the post of @NoNameNamer ?

He confirmed that everything on Shans list is in the portal and live.
No need for anymore confirmations.

I, for one, did not seriously think they had done enough Pulls and Scans to verify EVERYTHING. I guess they were sincere, just too busy to do all those screenshots, getting it done so fast.

Seven Constanza

Sorry if this was mentioned before but couldn’t the crew confirmations be verified through looking at crew retrieval?

Absolutely they could. But where's the fun in that?

😁 TBH it is nice seeing others getting the newly added crew soon after they’re added to the portal so there’s that.

Mirror Cartman

I have Skorr Tchar, Tribble Spock, Lara from portal pulls. Final star for Tchar.

Only in the art. I read all the names.

Accurate, you can't pull them unless it's like Assimilated Spock

No Assimilated Spock here, but Tribble Spock dropped in a Voyage. He's probably cuter, right?

Veterinary Phlox

Tribble Sato


No one new here, but I love how Mark Lenard morphs to Molly holding her right hand up.

Alternate Chuft design? Or different Chuft character?

Not in crew portal it seems

We got some Elusive Treasures in our Portal Update Thread. But ,she is not in either one.

Only if you trust WRG to have retrieval and portal match with no bugs. Knowing the state of their code I wouldn't count on that.

As a reminder, the original reason these threads were created was because at one point TP said they made a portal update and then months later we realized the update was broken and the crew weren't in the portal. So now players look to verify each crew.

If we really wanted to be thorough we should have a separate 1-4* voyage confirmation check since it's possible a crew is added to portal and not voyages or vice versa.

I do actually trust WRG to have portal/voyages/retrieval all lined up. If only because driving it all off one database field is far and away the simplest option, coding it in any other way would be more complicated, require more work and frankly no software developer with even the tiniest bit of sense would do it any other way.

For the record, a tiny bit of sense is roughly how much I credit the WRG development team with.
