    No, the name of that event is "Updated and Revised".

    You and me both. I have my Section 31 down to 30 secs a mission so I plan on stacking them deep this week/month.

    A little disappointed that's the version of Doctor we're going to get...

    Section 31 shuttles at 30s-10m difficulty.

    Wow, I only have a dozen holograms, I really thought I had more.

    Ugh at "Captain Proton to the Rescue!"

    I'm going to have to finally finish him, aren't I?

    check his traits ... nope ... and his skills are kinda useless in a skirmish ... EDIT: as it is a skirmish you can just slot him lvl1 into one slot to still get max bonus and your good crew in the others.

    Yeah, definitely always appreciate having existing crew in events this big, but this seemed like his time to shine. Also curious that they are advertising one of the existing crew in their big ad for the mega.

    Diplomacy seems pretty obvious for Minuet, but what other skills do they give her?

    Maybe Command...

    Security doesn't make any sense, nor do I see Medical in anyway.

    The more I thought about it, Medical might make a little sense in the the counselor sense, as she was analyzing Riker and Picard.

    Might be able to justify Engineering or Science at some small level since she was aware she was a hologram and was able to make manipulations to her program (e.g. accessing ships database to speak French).

    [edit]
    Medical justification.
    "If it wasn't for autocorrect, we wouldn't have Tuvok on a Giraffe."
  • I was thinking DIP/COM/ENG personally (fearing DIP/COM only), but DIP/MED/ENG or DIP/ENG/MED would be a nice combo.

    Keeping in mind the theme of the mega and the episode this version of the Doctor is taken from it makes sense though. Cause it was about his holonovel, the way humans may regard holograms (and vice versa), their rights etc.

  • Should be fun.
    Wish the skirmish was week 2

    Just glad that new Guinan is coming during a Mega. Otherwise, I would be too tempted to cite my lone Fierce Guinan. This way there is more then enough bonus crew to go around without her.

    P.S. I guess I shouldn't say "just glad". I think Minuet is way overdue and I loved that episode for Nog. Thanks DB!

  • I'm assuming the new Guinan will be a 5*...will have to decide to cite Fierce Guinan or Bartender Guinan for a little boost for that specific event.
  • Aww no expedition, not even a hybrid :-(

    The first event is a Hybrid. But I'm with you on how there's no expedition.
    • October 4 – Pygmalion, Hybrid Faction/Galaxy Event
    • October 11 – Updated and Revised, Galaxy Event
    • October 18 – What Is a Man?, Faction Event
    • October 25 – Captain Proton to the Rescue!, Skirmish Event

    I'm likin this Mega, especially all the new characters. Does anyone concur the Minuet will be the 5* mega character?

    Careful with those assumptions. Remember that Author Doc who is also shown is a 4*.

    I meant to say, not even an expedition hybrid, which is something DB had said they would still do from time to time rather than the full expedition events.

    They normally preview the featured recurring 5* in a similar way to this, so I’d say yes. But, precedent often doesn’t matter to DB so anything is possible.

    Wow, kudos on the artwork for Guinan and Nog.

    Not only that ... but citing small bonus crew if they are part of a Galaxy event (i.e. week 2) is risky ... especially as Holograms have a bonus for the mega. There's usually only limited crew that are useful, with most often the mega-event 5* and the three specific event crew being in that category.

    EDIT: the same goes for a Skirmish event ... where all but 1 of the event crew is useless kinda ... you can just put a lvl 1 1/4 specific event crew into a slot on your vessel and still get max VP bonus for each battle if they meet the trait requirements (e.g. as was the case for Kal-if-fee Spock - I had him on my Borg Cube but hardly ever used his ability - winning each battle with ease due to the other 3 crew present on board).

    nice. almost a callback to the very first event.
    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."
  • I have been asking for the Casino Holodeck version of Nog for a very long time. You can see my posts in the “most wanted Crew” thread.

    New Mega looks great!
