For what seemed like the longest time, I had zero Caretakers then I got one and then they kept dropping till I had him immortalized..... I am glad he is going...I did not want to get a 6th and have to make the decision to keep a copy or airlock a 5*
To actually add something helpful, I believe the message board software registers "0" as an empty input (since it's zero) so it gets excluded. If you want to include it as a choice, you should type the word "Zero" instead.
I keep getting one each of all gauntlet characters. However, for a while there I was fairly gauntlet ambivalent (#1 spot achievement just want that motivating). Giving it more priority these days and hoping for one more before the end of the month.
It's still the best place for farming Merits... I stick to a hard rule of no use of dilithium... Dilithium in Gauntlet is probably one of the worst possible uses, actually...
I would argue buying single "premium" pulls is a worse use of 72 dilithium, but yes, I tried keeping a streak going with dilithium once, I forget how high but it was unrealistically high without dilithium, and realized I was flushing my crystals in pursuit of folly.
My 8-Point STT Strategy:
1. Voyage.
2. Have fun. If something isn't fun, don't do it.
3. Only pursue characters I care about.
4. Contribute to the fleet.
5. No more spending beyond monthly cards.
6. Have fun.
7. Voyage.

I hope they loosened the grip on Caretaker drops until his reign ends. I got 6, and if I don't get at least one more, I guess I have to airlock the extra?
Armus is going to be very very tricky on the artwork. They better have a trick up their sleeve to do so.
I’ve been playing since March, so I wasn’t here for Locutus or Guinan. I won Caretaker a month after starting the game. I won my second last week. I figured maybe they altered the odds a bit since he’s about to leave.
None. No Locutus since I didn't play gauntlet when he was there, and only 2 Guinan.
But then, I only have 5k gauntlet rounds. I hardly play it because the garbage RNG makes me want to stab myself in the eyes. My plan was always to drop out once I got a Caretaker and then cite him up, so there's nothing new there if he drops this week.
I got my first Caretaker just 2 days ago. Funny thing is just after I got him, I was actually thinking that he's been around for a good while now and they're probably gonna switch him out for a new one.
Caretaker is the one gauntlet vip I have been really lucky on. I have got 4 of him and used a dyc for the 5th. Guinan I got 2 and dyc’ed her to 3. And never got a Locutus.

I knew The Caretaker was leaving because I just got him for the first time two weeks ago. The same happened with Locutus and Guinan where I also got one copy each just before they were leaving the gauntlet.
And the moral of the story, my dearies, is that you have to play if you want to win.
Seriously, I wonder what the correlation of gauntlet crew to gauntlet rounds played is.

Zero, and he was the only gauntlet character that I really wanted among the ones that have been available so far (including the new one, actually). Hope he will be available somewhere else, at some point.
I have 3/5 Caretaker. Same with Guinan, 3/5. Only got 1/5 Locutus though.
I hate that Armus is the new Gauntlet character. They should have made him a best chance pack and let the people who wanted him get him. The Gauntlet character should be iconic. Not this. He doesn’t belong with the others.

As the old saying goes, "Lucky in love, unlucky in Star Trek Timelines."
Or maybe a letter O?

Created a kingdom. Reached for the wisdom. Failed in becoming a god.
Also I have 1 Guinan and 0 Locutus.

Me too.. Seriously?
Just rub all of our noses in it and then pour salt on the wound.

Always true.
20k+ Gauntlet rounds has netted me 2 Locuti (one from Gauntlet), 3 Guinans, and 5 Caretakers

And 20k+ got me 0 Locutus, 1 Guinan, and 2 Caretakers...and yes, many streaks, many wins, usually high ranks.... Soooo?
