Disguised Chakotay Worth It?

So, I have a FF/FE Tourist Quark and just got Etana Jol. I have plenty of chronos. I am trying to decide is it worth trying to get four stars of Disguised Chakotay (1 community plus earn 3 with rankings). I have six charaters with 900+ security already. Or, should I airlock Dis Chak and wait on later part of event? I only have two free slots and really don't want to freeze too many more FF/FE four stars. Thanks for you thoughts.

  • I’d freeze one and keep The Chakotay. If DB’s pattern holds we should get a sale on slots this month. And maybe 5 free.

    I don't think he's with getting. His skills are nothing to write home about, just more of the same. And he won't be useful for the rest of the event, and since he's crew now, it'll be quite a while before you get another chakotay as event crew, and years, if ever, for a rerun.
    Rank 2000 to get him will probably cost at least 400k VP, maybe more.

    Your call, just go in with you eyes wide open, and know he's just a Pokémon toon. Collect them all if you must, then stick them on ice.

    Funny thing is that I just watched that episode and he has a conversation with Torres about how he is a pilot.

    He's crap, though since I'm in collector mode I'll rank for all the copies I need and then immediately toss him in the freezer.
  • On my main account, I am not lacking for crew space, so I'm keeping the community copy & will have him on a back burner until he's added to the portal in the distant future. On my VIP0, I will airlock him immediately as I'm not dumping all of my chrons into this event for a chance at maybe getting enough copies to fuse him.

    Basically a good rule of thumb would be; If you need to ask, you don't need/want the card. Especially if you're short on slots.

    Im making a push for the Sphere Builder and will freeze him immediately as collateral

    I didn't know either until I saw the art, but "him" appears to be a "her". ;)

    Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

    Him refers to Chakotay 😉

    Ah, well that explains that. 🤦‍♂️ I guess this is what I get for not paying attention to the entire conversation. :D

    They are from different dimension so I don’t know him her references are accurate. Assuming all dimensions have two genders...,

    Yours was not that big of mistake.
    The ones I have made by not reading full conversation, are like putting my foot in my mouth.😉

    Plus: Actually useful in this event, even at 1/4. Has "hunter" trait which is relatively rare; far better than other Chakotay variants, meme-worthy art

    Minus: COM/DIP/SEC
  • He's utter garbage. He's hideous to look at. This is only the third ever Chakotay event in the history of the game, so his rotation in repeat events is barely above one-off characters.

    You can skip him entirely and sleep well at night knowing his bloated, frozen body is floating through space. Forever.
  • Go for it. His voyage ability is quite strong for a SR and it's Chakotay.

    Harsh but true. Chakotay is as underutilized in Timelines as he was in Voyager, art’s nothing to write home about (it’s well done, just not an inspiring source material), and his usefulness as bonus crew is limited. I’m also not necessarily seeing his voyage value - Hunter is a nice touch but that’s 25 AM on how many voyages? I don’t recall the last time I sent First Goran’Agar on a voyage even though he has the same skills, similar stats (just shuffled around), and the Hunter trait. Come to think of it, he’s the only Hunter that I have that isn’t on ice (and that’s only because I have few COM/DIP shuttle crew and I assume the AND bug is still in effect).

    Newer players will likely benefit but for the rest of us I think Leisure Suit Chakotay is freezer fodder.

    Chakotay by himself might not be worth it but you have to take the picture as a whole sometimes. He is 4/4 for the achievement count and potential future use as main crew if you push for top 2000. You can immortalize Quark who has a good diplomacy value and is main cast. The 5* for next week has a good base ENG plus the extra threshold rewards.

    I spent over 7000 chronitons to make threshold because I was short on key items. Individually, it wouldn't be worth and I would have cut somewhere short during the event but this time I decided to spend some resources to get some back. Otherwise, thresholds are now too far out to try every week.
  • I assume the AND bug is still in effect

    That was cleared up a long time ago.

    Except DB refuses to acknowledge anything, so who knows.

    Maybe. DB won’t admit it and player testing after the stealth fix hasn’t been a rigorous as the testing done before.
  • Yes. Yes he is worth it...

    But that's the Janeway in me saying that. :wink:

    In early stages of playing, I used to airlock the 1/4 from galaxy community rewards for 5* trainers (ouch, back in the day!) ... crew slot crunch and always needing to level crew.

    At a certain point I had my crew in equilibrium and held on to the 1/4s even if they remained 1/4 at event's end. I'd just freeze an immortalised crew member, if need be, wasn't too bothered if they were my "star crew" or not.

    Now I'm at a point where I have plenty of resources and so I aim for the Rank level that will get that crew FF. Then into the freezer they go until the next associated event.

    So, decide which category you fall into and move on from there I'd say ... at a certain point, never be afraid to freeze someone, even if they are good.

    After I got the other copies from rank and immortalized him, I have to report that I was wrong about his potential voyage utility with Hunter trait. Still like him because he's Chakotay, but even the most edgiest of cases still doesn't make him "usefull", as much as I want to wish it so.
  • He might not be very useful outside this event but he is easy to level, and if you get 4 of him you can use him toward your achievements. Then throw him in the freezer and forget about him.
  • My choice was easy. Played for 350k VP, got less than 4 copies of Chakotay => airlocked.
  • Thanks all, went ahead and burned a lot of chronos, had to work, dropped from about 600 to 1100 Monday AM, so 4 Chakotays, will likely keep.

    Hunter has not come up recently, but I expect it.

    I have a few useless holograms in my active crew for the same reason.
