    That's a relief - I know it's 'is' not 'makes' but every time I read the title this past few days my brain starts up with the music from Orgazmo.

    Didn't realize I'd omitted Herbert Rossoff as a Quark variant in my list. Oops! Added him just now.

    Im curious, would Herbert Rossoff count as Quark? Same actor but totally different character right? Ferengi v Human?

    Another thresholds and out, maybe, might be Min and out......

    I always run shuttles anyway so I stick with Faction Events for their full duration. I may scale back how much effort I put into them depending on the rank rewards. In this particular event, I think it's a given that Section 31 will win so I'll save most of those transmissions for the victory bonus period and run a mix of Dominion and Federation shuttles during the event. Can't hurt to stock up on Ketracel White and Ancient Films!

    Anyway, this will have quite a pool of bonus crew. In addition to the gaggle of Holograms:

    DATA
    2* Lt Commander Data
    4* Friar Tuck Data
    4* Prospero
    5* Age of Sail Data
    5* Detective Data
    5* Emotion Chip Data
    5* Frank Hollander
    5* Mirror Data
    5* Romulan Data
    5* Tempted Data

    QUARK
    1* Bartender Quark
    4* Herbert Rossoff
    4* Klingon Quark
    4* Tourist Quark
    5* Convergence Day Quark
    5* Martian Quark

    VIC FONTAINE
    4* Mirror Vic Fontaine

    Every skill is covered, at least, so that should be helpful. I also just about never use any of these on my Voyages, so that's another perk to this particular Featured Crew.

    Also, it occurs to me that none of these three crew members presently have a 3* persona. I hope we get a new one! The Data still high on my wish list is Ebenezer Scrooge. Even though we're in October rather than December, it was still a Holodeck role play so it would be an appropriate inclusion in this particular mega-event.

    Failing that, I wouldn't be mad at a 3* Niners Quark. I know the other Niners have been 4* and 5*, but 1) Quark was largely peripheral in the episode and 2) I'm still hopeful for a Niners (or even Athlete) collection and having a 3/3 would be a nice gimme.

    EDIT TO ADD
    I overlooked Herbert Rossoff as a Quark variant originally.

    I think the average player will have about 15 or more bonus crew for this event if you include hologram crew bonus. I think 4000VP is going to need over 80% probability to get a decent overall success rate.

    This event title reminds me of 'The Measure Of A Man' which makes me think we should have got a 2* or 1* Pinocchio is broken Data

    Again Vic Fontaine...of so many holograms...where is my Cyrus Redblock? :disappointed:

    please don't ask for that beast-to-level, non-main crew. there are lots of other options like the warship crew, etc that are much more interesting and varied in skills.
  • Hmmmm..... I wonder who would be a good mega finale 5* character.........?

    I would awesome this 100 times if I could 😍

    Same. I’m willing to bet it won’t happen because I’m sure the characters for the mega are planned far in advance. That being said I have been hoarding my daily dilithium...

    The devs know that version of The Doctor/Seven is highly sought after, so they will probably put him/her in a Tuesday pack.

    I was just about to say the same thing. It's a shame, because I very very rarely buy Tuesday packs. Since I started playing I've bought exactly 3. 2 of the Borg packs and 1 of the Sherwood Forest. Tuesday packs are not good to me.....

    Same. The only Tuesday pack that was good to me was the "Rejoin the Collective" pack. I managed to get 2 legends in 3 attempts. All other Tuesday packs have been pretty unforgiving to me, to the point where I don't even bother with them.

    The Mega Event is pretty TNG heavy. I will be surprised if it's anyone other than TNG for the final Legendary. Who wants a new Riker? :smile:

    I'm still hoping for a new 5* Doctor.

    I don't think a character has ever appeared in a Mega event twice (excluding 2/3* rewards). Author Doctor already was in it earlier, so I think it's unlikely we'll see another.

    Picard IS the final legendary, isn't he? As in he's the legendary crew for NEXT week's event, which is the finale, which means that the threshold legendary next week will be for the week after, which is a new event, not connected to the mega and oh no I've gone cross-eyed.

    You're right.

    This new system continues to confuse me lol.

    That's true. Also unfortunate.

    Me three. I lucked out on getting Mirror Shukar (because that pack was bugged for 15 minutes and DB sent him out to those of us who bought packs in that window) and Mirror Cochrane, got more or less hosed while chasing Gary Seven, and otherwise generally avoid them.

    Since Lucille Davenport's (Janeway's character from her first holonovel) outfit was seen in someone's Dabo, I think it would be safe to assume she would be the last event crew next to Muskateer Picard and (safe assumption) Captain Proton.

    There are three ways to do something; the right way, the wrong way, and the Janeway.

  • but... why make another hologram related crewmember when she's the 5* event crew for the post-mega event? Picard's the final mega event crew...

    What makes you think Lucille is 5*? Everyone is underthe assumption that she is the new 4* for the final event.

    She would be the second 4* next to Captain Proton. Musketeer Picard is already established to be the 5* as he is going to be the ranked 5* crew reward for this week's part.
