Airlocking a gol

Just curious how often this happens, since I have never done it. I could not even bring myself to exchange Yar for Killy. Maybe I fall into the collecter category.

So since then my rule has been to never toss a gold, no matter how useless they may look or how much I plain just don't care for them (Klingon Janeway). Put a lot of dilithium into crew slots to make that sustainable - 270 at the moment - but I'm doing okay at the moment, got a pretty strong game going in completing and freezing purples to keep space open (I've unfrozen most of my holograms now, and I've still got like 15 spaces free), so it'll be a while before the slow buildup of legendaries becomes an issue.
Immortalized: 140 x 5*, 221 x 4*, 74 x 3*, 47 x 2*, 27 x 1*
I'm real tight on crew space Banjo! I generally don't airlock anyone if I don't have to, but I've got a mad spreadsheet that allows me to cover as many bases as possible. I've got more dip than anything and most of them don't make it onto shuttles, ever. Even my secondary crew during faction events give me (almost) guaranteed 8 hour voyages, so a full day's worth if I extend once or twice on a good run.
I have kept Jazz Odo at 1/5 (used once I think) Tilly (now at 2/5 used regularly) T'Kuvma at 4/5 (used almost constantly somewhere) and all my other golds are strictly 3 skillers - many are just waiting for an event. I don't spend much, Banjo, so I don't have many above 1/5 which means they get priority over a 4/4 if similar stats, so my freezer is very full as I have only 160 crew slots and 277 immortals lol.

I just won't compete or pull packs for a gold that doesn't hit the nostalgia g-spot and measurably improve my crew. This was really tough line to stick to for Vreenak and Elizabeth Dehner, but I did.
Haven't airlocked a gold ever or non-dupe purple for almost two years now. People can play however they want, but to me it's losing the game if you're airlocking non-dupes (and are not VIP0).
My rationale at the time - had limited crew slots, not enough vault-able crew, and just hated the art on both of them. Plus I had just gotten Capt LaForge as my 2nd rank-earned legendary and thought to myself - how many LaForge's do I really need? (Gosh, I was naive back then.)
So I vowed to never airlock one again. Since then, every 5* that's joined my crew is still present (currently have 94 of them).
EDIT: I should specify the deal I took on Sato meant I got 10 event packs in the deal, so I wasn't just randomly opening packs for the event, I was using up the ones I was given.
Captain of the voyage vessels: Queen of Bashir, Landsknecht, and Sunspear, the first luxury starship cruiseliners.
Amenities include wifi, fully-functioning holodecks, a full-service bar, 3 party decks, a Trill spa, and a business centre.
Fun fact: The ships are propelled by bouncy castle technology.
Lissan - although that I did regret a little
Augment O'Brien - an unfortunate win, a non-canon character with two useless skills. Besides, I have RAF O'Brien, Klingon O'Brien, Chief O'Brien etc.
Vash - yet once again an unfortunate win, I really don't care for Vash and her skills are terrible.
She's the only Legendary I've ever airlocked.
Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

I also tossed the Mirror Picard handed out during Picardgate last year, which I suppose made CS have to work just a little harder to fix things. Oops. Other than these two, however, I am not in the business of airlocking a legendary crew. I understand why Banjo and others are ruthless with who they keep but you never know when a behold or random straight drop will happen to add stars to a partially fused legendary (and I have crew slots to spare).
Had Gunshow Picard fully fused at 4/5. Got rid.

Diner Janeway. I was new and I didn't like the art.
Commander Troi.
Not Abraham Lincoln! This is why we need a trading system, I would have traded you for your Abraham Lincoln.
Mainly because i already had her immortal.
VIP0? Frequently as well. Have to play the long game - is this card main crew? Will it get a rerun? Will it have any use to me 6 months from now? Will it make a voyage or shuttle? Can I vault a Purple card and replace it with this?
If any of those questions return a "No" answer, then 550 honor is what I get.
With the mega golds, I've started building up a small collection of immortal golds but the random drops are mostly airlocked. I recently beholded a Will Scarlet, got the freebie from my mail and started levelling him, but Sarek, Archer and Chekov are all still stuck in the mail buffer!
One of the randoms I kept was Age of Sail Crusher, despite having Darth Bashir and Cornwall as mega gold medics at 5/5 stars. This is because over the last two years I've had 3 copies of her that I have airlocked, the last of which was maybe 2 weeks before I got my current copy!

Chang is a good example, I almost airlocked him myself, but I really like him and fortunately I got a second copy within a few weeks of the first. He is definitely not the strongest, but a fun reminder of Shakespeare as told "in the original Klingon".
