It's a decent likeness (and the pose is great), I just think we're back to the low-detail artwork we had in the past, and that's concerning.
Lwaxana just looks goofy to me. It's a shame, since her other variants are perfectly-rendered, especially Ambassador.
Georgiou definitely seems like a return to that late-2017 quality. But Lwaxana is fantastically rendered IMO, even if the pose is a bit goofy.
And @Travis S McClain will be happy that it's a DS9 version of Lwaxana - the streak continues!
I do, indeed, approve. Plus, with the Dominion mega-event starting the following week, we should be headed for fourteen consecutive weeks of DS9 content. That's baller.
Both new crew look bad in my opinion... Artwork looks to have regressed again big time
Barring some crazy stats I won't be upset I'm going to miss this event

I’m with you on this one. Good detail but a bizarre facial expression on Lwaxana and first-day-of-art-school detailing on the Emperor...the difference between them and Dix is pretty stark. And he isn’t even my favorite Picard for artwork, come to think of it.
You guys are too tough on the artwork. I understand the objections to some really off ones, like Mirror Data who looked nothing like Brent Spiner. The new Lwaxana and Georgiou are clearly recognizable as the character/actress from the show in the correct outfits, with facial expressions that fit them, etc. And the fact that Lwaxana doesn't have much detail in her neck is just a kindness to Majel Barrett -- it's the DB version of airbrushing.

Yeah, I have no issues with these whatsoever. I expected the reaction to be pretty positive, but I guess I need to remember that art is completely subjective.

Lack of texture in the hair is not the same as airbrushing wrinkles.
Though I have to admit, actually think Lwaxanna's not that bad... but not that amazing either. Kinda meh.
With the highlights and other elements, the Emperors headgear looks cartoony to the point of wanting if she got it from a Yellow Submarine, though the eyes and some aspects of the face are done well. Its an odd dichotomy.
I find a lot of the art looks terrible on the images that are shared promotionally, yet doesn't look nearly as bad in the game itself. Thankfully, a lot of recent additions to the game have been quite good (Herb was fantastic last week). Even if this week's artwork is below lofty standards, I am still gunning for a top-1000 finish!

I guarantee the Emperor will look this blurry in game too
I just bought 4 event packs in the hopes of getting a 4th star - and a head start - on the new Troi.
I didn't get any copies of Troi. Instead I got...
- 2 duplicate copies of Dixon Hill
- 2 copies of Emperor Georgiou
- 2nd copy of Assimilated Janeway via beGold
I'll have to use a citation to finish off Troi, but hard to be upset with that outcome!
I still think these dupe issues could be resolved simply by making crew worth 10x more honor if dismissed while event crew or featured in packs. I'd sure be inclined to buy more packs during events if I wasn't so severely penalized by getting redundant 4*.
Two packs coughed up a Dixon and a Troi. Was hoping for an outside shot at the Emperor, but I did get First Officer Burnham off of a legenday behold so there’s that. Guess I’ll let my daily card dilithium build up to one more pack at the end of the event.
I'm still crossing fingers for a Vulcan-Klingon event! Talk about a lot of variants!
You should have been around for "The Genesis Wave", then! The Featured Crew included General Chang and Ambassador Sarek, and the Bonus Crew was anyone with the Klingon or Vulcan traits. The replay was even wilder, as it added Klingon Bride Jadzia and all Jadzia variants!
The only thing keeping "The Genesis Wave 2" from being as completely wide open as it could have been is that they restricted to only Jadzias and not all Daxes, so Ezris didn't count. Zhian'tara Odo didn't exist at that time, but he too would have been excluded if he had.
I was around, but I was in intensive care at the time and missed it. I missed about 6 months of playing time, in and out of hospital.
Well, it seems to me that the decent thing for DB to do to celebrate you still being among us is to run a threepeat of "The Genesis Wave"! cc: @Shan and @DealWithItJazzRiker
That would be awesome!
Yes, I literally almost died twice during that time. First time, the hospital called my ex-wife (my emergency contact) and told her they were waiting for me to die!
I had my phone with me, but it was all I could do to just reset shuttle missions here and there. Finally got back to playing again for real in May.
I imagine playing this game isn't among the highlights of what you can do again after those six months, but I'm glad you can do that and all the things that actually matter, too!
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.
Me too, but no love for the series that started it all. We get to have ST:D fed to us on a constant basis. Well at least ST:D gave me new appreciation for a certain Star Trek series that I once thought I hated...after enduring ST:D, I now have multiple seasons of actual Star Trek that I can enjoy!
Since February, the entirety of Disco content in this game has consisted of:
"The Butchers of Beta Penthe" (5/17) featuring 5* Captain Killy and 2* Off-Duty Tilly
That's it until this next event, when we get Emperor Philippa Georgiou. March, April, and June were all entirely devoid of even a portal-exclusive Disco crew member. Meanwhile, DS9 has had content each of the last nine weeks, whether someone in the Featured Crew for an event or someone newly added to the portal. If Festive Lwaxana Troi turns out to be from a DS9 appearance, that'll be ten consecutive weeks of content.
I share the enthusiasm for the TOS Mirror crew, and I'm all for lobbying for their introduction. But we can do that without falling into the tired and tiring bit about blaming the absence of older crew on some unearned proliferation of Discovery content.
I mean, why is it Emperor Philippa Georgiou's fault we're not getting Mirror Marlena Moreau? Why isn't it Festive Lwaxana Troi's fault? Or Herbert Rossoff's? Or Tourist Reed's? Or any of the other crew nobody was asking for instead?
Jean-Luc Picard: "We think we've come so far. Torture of heretics, burning of witches, is all ancient history. Then, before you can blink an eye, suddenly, it threatens to start all over again."
1200+ base isn t just „sooo OK“. Have you checked status of last event legendaries, none was 1200+. And btw. georgiou is the 6th highest CMD base in game!

But it's ANOTHER cmd/sec/dip card. Who needs more of that garbage. Also 1/5 stats are atrocious.

At least I hope that's the case.
I second that! Those eyes!

DB! STOP with the blue highlighting. Why does she have blue highlighted tips on her hair?! 😣😣😣 UGH
Michelle Yeoh has always been a fave actress of mine.

Pretty sure episodes featuring the Emperor only aired in 2018...
Both new crew look fine, but less detailed than many of the best crew pictures from earlier DB artists

Mirror sulu is my #1 missing crew.
For Troi I'd say they aren't even that.
