holy event crew batman, that is a lot of 2x variants

edit: OK, I am stupid, just noticed it was lwaxana Troi....

[7TW] UnkieB

Empress, not Emperor?

[10F] NewtonianQBalls

Will this finally get me a Georgiou? Been snubbed pretty bad on 5* crew recently in event packs.

Ivanstone

Ok, I got 100+ time reducers on hand and a decent selection of bonus crew. Will that be enough for a top 25 finish?

Hmm, probably not. Sigh.

Better get to work unvaulting all my Picards

Only because of Picard. That makes up for the lack of variants on the other two. Imagine if they did a Picard/Spock/Janeway event. Now THAT would be a lot of variants.

I hope they offer Armed Philippa Georgiou in some manner before the start of the event so I can get the 4th star on her.

Travis S McClain

Nitpick: Georgiou's title was "Emperor", something they stuck with consistently throughout those episodes. Her costume design was neat and she got to do a lot of visually interesting things, so this could be a standout card!

Festive Lwaxana Troi could be from just about any of her episodes. I'm hoping it's somehow from one of her two DS9 apperances just to keep up the streak of that series that's been going on for nine weeks now. (Even if not, the new portal exclusive could be from DS9, of course.)

In any event, I need three stars on Detective Dixon Hill, so I'm game.

robownage

Well I will be going HAM on this one.

Definitely going all out next week!

not worth 100 time boosts this time. I would have competed for galaxy.

Althea Biermont

I would have gone all out but it's bad timing. I'm in all day meetings on Thursday and Friday (including working through lunch) so kick start will be late by 5-6 hours and it will be hard to relaunch every 3 hours. I'll buy a couple packs and hope for the best.

I saw this and was very excited about possibly getting Marlena Moreau, Mirror McCoy, Mirror Sulu, and/or Mirror Scotty but must continue to wait on all 4 of them.

TP do better!! ~Colli~ (PoF)

Was trying to suss out how Lwaxana would look, but she had so many outfits that could be called "festive" (aka "wild"), it's a losing proposition. Just a few...


Also, I will add my voice to the chorus stating that Georgiou should have the title "Emperor" and not "Empress" — as the former was the one used in the show itself, and the latter never was.

I’ve started Faction events 8 hours late and have been able to use the kickstart to still finish top 1000

South of Sulu

It’s not a nitpick. She is is the Emperor not Empress. She never used that title. Hoshi used Empress.

Cool. All I worry about is top 1000 since I know I won't get top 25 so that's good to know.

·§ë· For the Many

I'm stoked. Switch "Empress" to "Emperor" please.

@Data1001 I vote for the middle with blended blue and red lighting! The leftmost is the dress used for Ambassador Troi.

Ah, you're right. Like I said, so many outfits, hard to keep track of them all.

Let's just hope "festive" doesn't mean the traditional Betazoid wedding attire (that is, nekkid).

I am suddenly so irked that I passed (twice) on 5* Ambassador Troi in begolds earlier in the week, when I bought the two 10x10 offers. I figured Assimilated Janeway and Age of Sail Riker would be more useful, especially over 2-stat Troi… those decisions have come back to bite me quickly!

On the plus side, I'm hoping Armed Philippa Georgiou gets added to the portal/voyage pools, as she is one of just eight 4* crew I'm missing!

FutureImperfecta

So do y'all think Philippa will have proxy trait variants ? All disco ? All Terrain.. all Royalty ?
(Is there a royal trait ?)

Shan

Good call for Emperor, this will be modified!

There is a Royal trait. Kahless the Unforgettable and Princess Jadzia have it.

I thought Lwaxana will be the Lwaxana from the Bajoran festival episode that Festive Jadzia is from but according to wiki festive jadzia is from the wedding episode, not the one I was thinking of. So who knows!

Not sure if I should try for Honey Bare or keep dilithium for event packs next week

Okay, so — leaving behind that last option — here is a compilation of as many different looks as I could find on short notice, as potential fashion choices for the new Festive Lwaxana.

Mudd in your eye

Looks like I get to save some money next week.
