Really Cyrus needs the exact same 4 items to build 3 of his level 91 -100 gear.....

Edit: Make it a standalone achievment even.
That'd be great. It would make all the Klingon Quarks, Rogue Harry Kims, and Section 31 agents of the world more bearable to equip.
He was my least pleasant build, and that includes Undercover O'Brien with his 10 or 12 5 star Klingon disrupter rifles.
Still, he's made a few voyages since I unfroze him so he's clearly got an ability or two so I might keep him around for a bit. I'm sure that Gloria and Nog and Data can keep him under control.

Some crew have repeating builds for their items. The M-113 Creature is just as bad.
Ishmael: I feel your pain! I started leveling Cyrus 'Roadblock' when this event began and I also found it to be a troublesome character to equip. My goodness but he needs an AWFUL LOT of 2* Novels! And Ancient Reels as well...but they're relatively easy to come by as they are typically available for Merit or Credit purchase in the Federation store and are also a regularly featured reward for some of the missions on Daily Cadet Challenges. But other items are available only on missions where the drop rate is infinitesimal at best - if not nearly non-existent.
Lincoln: Since I started leveling 'Roadblock' I have had the same sentiments. There oughta be some kind of completion bonus or milestone granted to players who've taken the time and effort to FF/FE this crewmember. It's taking a mammoth effort to gather all the equipment together - and expending a LOT of chrons too. The replication cost is quite high for some of the items, so it isn't exactly a 'good trade off' in that regard. The cost for FF/FE adds up exorbitantly either way.
And I gotta agree that 'Roadblock' certainly seems like an appropriately chosen nickname for this character - at least while he's 'under construction'.
***It's worth noting that I also began leveling Buster Kincaid Kim when this event began as I received the 4th star for the character during a Voyage and did notice that Captain Proton [already FF/FE on my crew roster] is going to be a character for the last leg of this event. I thought perhaps it might be wise to also have Buster Kincaid FF/FE in case that character is included as part of the event. Leveling Buster completely took about 15 minutes of time. So if you've got the character it could be worth the time invested considering the potential for use during the last portion of this Mega-Event***
Doh, someone at DB is laughing in the background at me today with the new collection release. Time to rue, time to rue.......
I got the last laugh though, the single premium pull from the collection gave me a 2nd star on tempted data, so phooey on Gilligan. 🤗
I certainly feel better.
Cyrus is someone I'll start on someday, but right now he's 1/4 so no need to bother yet.
That said, I wonder if he's worse than Alternate Future Bashir and his god-forsaken 3, 4, and 5* Kukalakas (the 5* needs almost 350 components alone, many of which are 0* medical experiments which are a b---- to get). And I built him before we even had the replicators *has trauma flashbacks*. I might have built him even before we had cadet challenges, but I've repressed the memory to know for sure, but I know for a fact it was before the advent of the replicator.
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.
He is hard due to his heavy need for Federation faction-only equipment. He requires a lot of it. LOTS. I waited so long to even attempt him that when I finally tried, he wasn't nearly as bad as people said. I was prepared. However, because I wanted him ready in the days before the mega started, I replicated several of his gold items. It was impatience more than anything else. I had the faction items, I was missing some of the high-chroniton cost ad-warpable items.
He has been a small use in the previous faction part and I hope he is useful this weekend. I only have him at 1 star.
Build done, cost me a million credits but worth it. Replication ftw
You can add Doctor La Forge and any other La Forge to that list. They are easier than they used to be, before they changed some of the recipes, but it is still painful to build his hydrospanner and toolbox.
Doctor La Forge sat at 70 for me between the rerun of his event "The Game's Afoot" in Nov 2016 and the rerun of "Quadrilateral" in April 2017, where he was bonus crew (and quite invaluable with his Med skill, even at 2/4).
