For those who did the Captain's Oath the first time...

DavideBooks

Which crew of all these available bonus crew will be the most helpful for me to share with my squad for the faction portion? I have many of these crew fully equipped, but not fully fused. I suppose what I'm asking is which of these captains have the best skills that were needed the first time and would be less likely for my squad to have? Perhaps the top 3.

Thank you

Not really a top 3 ... but I like looking for crew that might have a skill the others don't:

- Mirror Picard ... there's always need for a CMD/SEC powerhouse, I'd confer with my squad and probably share him if I was squad leader as I have him 5/5 (or Archer below) ...
- Captain Sulu (isn't that bad regarding base stats x3 at 4/4). e.g. his 4/4 base stats are slightly better than a 1/5 Silva La Forge.
- EV Suit Archer ... good base CMD and has ENG/SEC, which many captains don't. We all got him a while back, so he should be at least FE 1/5 for you.

It would help if you could list at least some of your top crew for each skill.

When I was squad leader a while back I usually gave my squad a list of 5 to choose from of my best base stat crew and they could pick one that fit their needs best ... I would change the crew after ramp-up if the squad felt that they needed emphasis elsewhere.

EDIT: I don't have him, but Solar Sails Sisko looks like a good share with kinda unique skills (ENG/SCI combo).

Another one is actually Captain Bev - I think she is the only med bonus crew for this event and if the missions are copy and paste she would be very handy. Sadly I don't have her.

So my best options are probably my 3/4 FE Sulu, Mirror Picard FF/FE, EV Archer 1/5 FE, or Silva but I am still working on her.

I also don't have Captain Bev. ... but she might only be useful as a 3+/5 ... her base stats are weak and even with double bonus she would still come in behind Bell Riots Bashir and Cromwell in MED base as a 2/5 or 1/5, and be very similar to 4/4 Combat Medic Paris at 1/5.
Her bonus is the combo with CMD.

However ... if you share her and a squad member has her then in a double MED shuttle they could boost MED with a 3* ... saving CMD/SEC/DIP 3* boosts for the other 3 shuttles.
Personally, I'd still prefer one of the others I mentioned and I'd cut my losses with MED seats by boosting a different skill in those shuttles and by being selective in the shuttles I send out.

Yes your quite right a star or two on her would be better, but I would say she is closer to Katrina Cornwell than Paris her doubled (without bonuses) stats in med are 1072 and Cornwell's is 1186 (or 1036 4/5) - I guess I have been spoiled having them freed by the ample med bonus crew in this mega event, it was great having them on my voyages again.

NB here is my bonus crew:


Sadly COP Archer dropped yesterday, so don't think I'll have time to level him, I may have to skip on Dixon Hill as well as I don't want my Chronitons eaten. I'm not too fussed with Mirror Archer and Nexus Kirk because their base stats aren't that great. Finishing North Star and Silva are the obvious priorities.

FWIW, there weren't many MED slots to begin with in the event:

also a quick question on shared crew but does my collection bonus transfer or does the recipient have their own collection bonus' applied to the shared crew?

That table is what the original poster needs to make so he has a good overview of his crew to share.

For example, it shows that a 2/4 Harriman is pretty similar to a 4/4 Xindi Archer in DIP base (653*3 vs 926*2). Also that a FF Captain Janeway/T'Pol wouldn't be the worst share if they had limited crew and were missing 5*s.

But yeah, Mirror Picard sure looks like a good share, especially if squad members also have him (FF or not).

EDIT: Collection bonus transfers over I think, my squad leader's shared crew are always slightly different in stats than mine.

If the missions are repeats of the first event (and I believe they usually are) Assimilated Janeway or Galen might be good options. Several of the 3-seat missions have SCI slots, so they would be a big help there if your squad is lacking.
