1. Blow by Blow / Friends in Need --> the unlockable B-C path is the only one with a 4* reward option, but C-B is also a locked path
Has anybody tried any of these combinations since the update went live?
I got yesterday both Dilemma went with option A ( Blow by Blow) and option B (Friends in Needs), got Cube Schematics
As far as I can recall, with the help of the wiki, here are existing multi-part voyage dilemmas that up until now have not lead to any special crew. By my count, there are 6 different locked multi-part paths that could lead to the new voyage-exclusive crew:
1. Blow by Blow / Friends in Need --> the unlockable B-C path is the only one with a 4* reward option, but C-B is also a locked path [EDIT: the A-B path does not appear to lead to a new 4* crew, per Fortuna]
2. Class Act / Burden of Proof --> the C-B path is the only locked path [EDIT: the B-C path does not appear to lead to a new 4* crew, per KayJay47]
3. Cracks in the Wall / First Author --> the unlockable A-C path is the only one with a 4* reward option
4. Retrofit / The Tools at Hand --> the 2 unlockable paths (A-B / B-C) both lead to a 4* reward option [EDIT: the A-B path does not appear to lead to a new 4* crew, per Ivanstone] [EDIT: the B-C path does not appear to lead to a new 4* crew, per eXo | Frank]
Of course, the new crew could be discovered via other variations on the paths within these 4 multi-part dilemmas.
1. 6 unique paths (1 ruled out)
2. 5 unique paths (1 ruled out)
3. 7 unique paths
4. 4 unique paths (2 ruled out - both of the locked paths)
Has anybody tried any of these combinations since the update went live?
I'll continue updating this as people provide feedback on all the various unique paths in these multi-part dilemmas. Of course, this does not account for RNG, as some people experienced with The Clown.
So, I hate to be that guy - but - @Shan
Hey! Happy Friday!
Any chance we could get a quick clarification - are the dilemma payoffs that feature JLP and McCoy live now and today, or do they go live after the forced 6.0 upgrade on 9/11?
Just want to make sure I need to keep burning DIL.

Based on a screenshot on discord it looks like McCoy comes from a higher duty part 3, probably choice B. We could see the dilemma language for sure but the resulting choice was obscured by mcccoy in the screenshot

I really hope that's not the case. Stringing together even parts 1&2 is a pain in the **tsk tsk**. Nevermind 3.

You can make out part of the dilemma text at the very top of the screenshot
That's weird, because the Higher Duty, Part 3A text is:
{crewname} engaged the former governor's ship and disabled its weapons, though he was badly burned in the fight. Starfleet doctors are doing what they can for him, and once he is stabilized, he will be serving a lifetime sentence. The doctors sent us a hidden communication device they found while searching him.
I don't see "we talked" or "lifelong" in that, so DB must have updated the text for part 3?
I mean, the alternative to that is that the person picked option B, which would take a lot of stones to pick, given that B is an unknown result according to the wiki.
So now confirmed by Evil Nemy Dax, who is the big winner on McCoy, that Higher Duty Part 3, Choice B - which no one ever pressed or even bothered to fill out on the Wiki, is now McCoy.
You can assume JLP will be on the Col Worf path, in the same boat (choice A vs .
Oh, well. With regular 10 hour (extended) and more voyages, I've never had the third part to either of those. Now I need the third part twice each. Never happen.

And if you want them FF without wasting honor, you need that third part eight times total instead of twice. And then do it again for Colonel Worf and Picard. For crew that go directly to the freezer.
I think I am going to stop trying so hard to nab Worf or Guinan (or McCoy or Picard) and just try to FF Jannar and the Clown.

Don't forget Lucien!
I had previously FF’d both Lucien and Thot Gor from the $25 citation deals.
Hmmm well it will be tough to get him then. I run almost nothing but 8+ voyages and have never gotten to a Higher Duty pt 3 even when doing my 20 hr voyage.

Yeah same, never gotten it either. I do have Guinan from the cheevo, so only need to get the entire path seven times to FF the two crew.
I have got Colonel Worf from a relatively short voyage, but not Guinan. I got her from achievements. If it's going to take me a year to get one, how many years is it going to take to get the next 15 copies of the crew?
So if this information is correct, we'll probably still need 216,000 honor to FF the four difficult Voyage Specific crew (over 4 years) and probably the same amount of time chasing down the easier to acquire Voyage Specific crew while we do it.
And in 12 months we'll probably get another 2 or 4 cards added to the game, just to make things more 'fun'!
Comments
I did a 16 hour run yesterday and no luck. But that was probably because I didn't get a second path in any of my dilemmas.

That change went live on Wednesday.
then just wait til next week's triumphant return of expedition events: A Pack of Pakleds and Picards!
Not mine. I snipped the image from a facebook group.

Mystery solved!

Nor me. And I've done multiple 16 hour, one 20 hour, and a 26 hour.

Yeah but those dilemma paths only have two choices. Not that a creative thinker can't get around those shenanigans.
