Please let Ahdar Ru'afo have a killer base DIP as Primary! Still no Mega character with a DIP Primary!
but the Queen, Cornwell and Darth Bashir all have decent DIP as secondary...and we have not had a mega-ENG either...
Oh I know - actually Cornwell is my highest base DIP in the game. It kinda bothers me, that my strongest diplomat is a MED primary. And I just figured Ru'afo is much more likely to be DIP than ENG - his buddy Gallatin, that's the engineer.
Please no DIP primary. I have DIP coming out of my ears compared to every other stat. I set aside 50,000 honor for the Mega Legendary. I won't bother if it's just more DIP. Thank heavens DB only pays a little attention to story. There's a chance of ENG or SEC primary.
Listen, this isn't about your specific crew collection. This is about the fact that we've had SEVEN of these mega-events already and not a single mega-character has had a DIPLOMACY primary stat. Yes, we haven't had ENGINEERING either, but come on, Ru'afo isn't going to be that guy. In any other event, he would probably be a CMD/DIP/SEC like all the leaders usually are. So as I always do, I try to work within DB's likely existing set of choices to be constructive in my criticism.
Although I will say yes, you're absolutely right that DB ruins a lot of characters by giving them DIP primary over another more useful skill. Interfaced Geordi being the latest example.
I'm just trying to be realistic, here.
Edit - Addition: Here's where we stand so far, with Mega-Event character skills. Stats taken from wiki.
CMD - Borg Queen wins with 1234 base, T'Kuvma second with 1096
DIP - Prisoner Cornwell wins with 1049 base, Borg Queen second with 892
SEC - Kortar wins with 1209 base, Mirror Picard second with 982
ENG - Borg Queen wins with 660 base, and there's no one else.
MED - Bashir wins with 1195 base, Cornwell second with 1186.
SCI - Surak wins with 1209, Picard second with 583.
So yes, obviously engineering is vastly under-represented. But I just don't see them giving Ru'afo ENG primary.
It wasn't just me. A few people afterward expressed similar sentiments. I appreciate your effort to nudge devs in a direction that you think to be more likely or achievable. I've just noticed that DB doesn't always use stats that we would expect. To that end, I will try to nudge them away from a direction that annoys me (and others that I talk to). In the end, I hope DB assigns stats somewhere in between what you want and what I want. Time will tell.
Sona'a could be Med and Sec, with Com as a third skill.
Year. Maybe, but not this son's. I guess anything, but primary command is not realistic.

Incidentally, with this week's event, Jadzia becomes the first to hit double digits. She is now #1 with the most event appearances (10), breaking a tie with Data (9). Tied for third place behind them with eight events apiece are Janeway, Kira, Kirk, and La Forge.
However, there is a caveat, which is that I've excluded mega-event recurring Legendary crew members from these tallies. If we include them, then Picard is tied with Jadzia for first and Bashir is tied with Data for second.
We might get one or two new 3*. DB will give players a shot at the existing 3* Dominion Crew for the rest of the Mega event. Especially during Galaxy so they can be used the next week if you don't have them.
What a hideous looking crew!! I want no part of any of them. May I be the first to call her Grandma Dax
The artwork on Jadzia is especially disappointing. And it's not the old-age makeup... as I mentioned to my fleetmates earlier today, it looks like they took some artwork that was "in-progress" and just said, "No, don't bother doing anything more to it. It's good enough!"
Here's a mockup I made that compares the art to actual shots of these characters. The only image of Dax that I could track down wasn't as high-res as I would've preferred, but I think this still makes it painfully obvious how much better Seska's artwork is compared to the others.
Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing. ~ Data, ST:TNG "Haven"

But I do love J. Dax, so I can't simply skip this event.
wow changeling bashir has both the best Sec AND med of dominion crew. that's gonna be fun to fill shuttles.
It's a pretty poor show lol. Let's hope they throw in a nice mix all throughout like they have this time by giving us Seska (for Eng) and Dax (Sci)

Happy travels, mate. :-)

We have 2* versions of Seska and Jadzia, but no blues. Easy way out with Third Remata'klan? Or a new blue?
Third or Keevan prob
I have a fleetmate that predicts a new 3* Jadzia for the event.
She's already got the most variations, I'm skeptical on the release of ANOTHER... never know tho, what variation did they speculate it would be?

That's the problem - she doesn't look flakey at all. There's nothing 'dried' about her appearance. She looks more like jelly.
Or scales?
