First Officer Saru
First Officer Burnham

    Thanks for posting what info you can.

    Not really looking forward to two Faction/Galaxy hybrids in a row.

    While i appreciate the announcement i find it pretty lame and boring to have the same event type 2 weeks in a row.

    At least it isn't Faction only

    Thanks for information
  • Well, needing to run Augments shuttles might eventual get me the 12 bajillion Science Experiments needed for the new Janeway and Saru, so once this event's over I guess I know what I'm running.

    On one hand, yay science experiments!

    On the other hand...can't we get an expedition event already? :P

    I'm looking at that being a definite plus. I'm glad for the fair enough warning so I can get working on leveling a couple augments that I don't have FE.
  • I wonder if this means the augments are going to make an appearance in Discovery...

    Another galaxy? That's extremely disappointing for the player base.

    I would've agreed a few weeks ago - but with all the chrons from voyages (and the gazillions of items we'll all have due to said chrons and the fact we don't have to use items in the replicator anymore) should make galaxy easier...

    So...augments are rather science-y/medical-y.

    Will we actually get a good SCI/MED event crew?

    It's relative. I think it will increase the scores, but will it make people who don't play galaxies do so just because they have more chrons? Personally, I'll continue to use my chrons on crew rather than galaxies just like before.

    +1

    This first event is pretty harsh. Having trouble not failing 85% + missions at 1800 vp. If I don't do well enough in this event to get the recurring 5* in the faction portion, I'll have lost all interest in participating in the rest of the Mega event.

    No, it will make Galaxy events more competitive.

  • Faction/galaxy combo is good, easy to get a 4/4 without spending dilithium or wasting too much in the galaxy part. Just hoping for an underpar 5* here...
  • Well, needing to run Augments shuttles might eventual get me the 12 bajillion Science Experiments needed for the new Janeway and Saru, so once this event's over I guess I know what I'm running.

    Agreed. I did 4 x Warp 10 "Rockslide" (12 Chron Space Battle). So out of 40 missions I got 3 Science Experiments.

    Just, ugh.

    It's a shame you aren't at least able to confirm the identity of the none Discovery crew.
  • Kind of vague. Augment crew?

    Really?? That's a lot of characters. Does not seem right.

    It's a heck of a lot less than when they do all Klingon's or all Starfleet Captains, etc.

  • I always do best on expeditions and yet they're the rarest ones. :( I always do the worst w/ factions but at least this one's another hybrid I guess lol

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

    It is beyond troublesome that they don't have this figured out yet.

    The OP has been edited since it was first posted. Assuming it was done by request/directive I will just say that the initial post indicated that DB is waiting on external forces.

    So what are the odds the following week will be expedition? We haven't seen one of those in a long time.

    I'd guess about 50/50 pure faction vs faction/expedition hybrid.

    Augments shuttles won't help you. They don't drop basic science experiments or the 1* counterparts. Only the 2* variety. You still have to farm the ones you actually need from cadet missions or wasting chrons.

    I'm fond of galaxies myself - community awards ftw ... and faction/galaxy hybrids are arguably the best of both worlds.Also DB have given us a faction that has some decent gear.

    Not understanding your reference. Perhaps you quoted the wrong post. I never mentioned shuttles or augments.
