There are 50 characters with the trait of "Pilot"
Add on additional Wesley's or Paris that don't already have that trait. You are now in the vicinity of 60 bonus characters.
Does it really matter if there are no 3 man shuttles?

Honestly, not really. It is a minor annoyance, because it ties up more of my crew that I could be using on Voyages and other things, but so it goes.
That’s fine for me because I have two pilots yet in the freezer that didn’t seem worth the merits (Fencing Sulu and Mirror Archer) but for those looking to be competitive that don’t have the benefit of a vast crew complement, an unintentional bug in the number of total shuttle seats that need filling is not going to be taken very well.
I have the same still frozen.
Because I'm a bored Data Scientist, I worked out my top crew, calculating bonuses.
(Blue is Bonus Crew, Orange is Event crew)
Sorted by total Base Stats.
I'm not getting a lot of support from my Bonus crew, at least overall.
This view is not as helpful as I intended, for example, my best Security card is Lt. Ash Tyler, who does not appear in the top 35.
But even if sorting for Security, not much help from Bonus crew.

This was the first time I put something like this together based on Timelines data, I thought it was interesting.
Interesting data, but do you not run skill boosters on shuttles? Bonus crew get a bigger booster bonus benefit.
I am guessing when they created the event they originally created eight missions per faction. They probably decided to cut it down to six and chopped the three seat missions.
Heaven forbid that they would’ve chopped the five seaters LOL

Good question, skill boosters would affect everyone an equal rate. So I keep my ranking to base stats.
I’m not sure 3 seaters would make much difference in this week’s manifest. Looking at all 18 missions, there’s a lot of the same skill pairs showing up in multiple missions ... often more than there are bonus crew to dupe them. I think optimizing this one for the extra few % performance is more about finding the right assignment of non-conflicting ANDs across available missions to milk out the extra percent, and being careful about who to assign to single skill seats that use points less efficiently.
That said, lots of ENG and SCI so those who have a robust Jadzia roster, Sphere Builder and the right ENG pilots definitely have an edge.
I have been loving this event so far. So many of the missions are engineering heavy which has been a great pairing with so many of the event crew having engineering.
Honestly if I have one minor gripe it is that the lords who govern voyages have picked a rather unfortunate day to have engineering be the primary skill!

I think you might be onto something here.
Personaly, I don't bother cherry-picking missions, so this doesn't effect my strategy. Things like this do happen though
I would be more concerned about it on a full faction, but this is a hybrid and will come down to the galaxy portion. I figure on needing about 7 thousand chronitons for an event now, but I can knock roughly half off at least for a hybrid if I do well on factions. That will save some for the skirmish next time.
Those who cannot do as well this faction half will simply spend a few more chronitons.

Well...yeah. The entire point of having a not broken faction portion is to be able to rack up more VP before the change so you don't have to use as many chronitons.
I'm more concerned that DB can't even QC the mission basics. If simple things like this are missed, how can you trust that anything more subtle is being checked and caught?

Lol I don't.
At this point, I think i-would- have almost preferred a lie. "it was intended as a one time experiment, next faction event 3 man shuttles will return". Versus that they can't run a staple event they've run.. 100 times or so with out an error.
Hmmm we intended for there to be 3 seat missions yet there are none, yet the event isn’t broken. If it isn’t broken then what the hell exactly is it because it isn’t as intended which to any semi sane person who can read then it means broken. If it’s working as intended then it’s not broken, it if is not working as intended then it is broken. If there are supposed to be 3 seat shuttles and there aren’t then it is intentionally broken. Unnecessary comment removed. Not having 3 seats missions does not prevent anyone from participating in the event, nor does it prevent the event for progressing normally. ˜Shan
I cannot do screenshots on the tablet. Y'all have a nice day. Since I did not know that non-Event Shuttles could give Event Points, I guess I got super lucky.............
I'm done...........

You can screenshot you just do not know how to do it.
If you say what kind of operating system you have on your tablet, some one will let you know how to do it.
Not sure, but you could mistake a returning shuttle for a three seater.
The game only shows your crew on return. If you are in a squadron and using the shared crew, you will only see your three crew on a four seater on return.
On iOS you have to hit the power button and the home button at the same time to get a screenshot.

We did intend for this particular event to have a mix of 3, 4 and 5 missions seats. As you have noticed this ended up not being the case.
This does not mean that the event is broken however, and no change will be made.
Hell frozen. I concur.
It's working as unintended, but at least it's working, so let's slowly back away from it on tiptoe.
"How come Mirror Jadzia and Mirror Bashir do not have the Pilot trait??!?!?!?"
They piloted stuff. Good at it too!
Add on additional Wesley's or Paris that don't already have that trait. You are now in the vicinity of 60 bonus characters.

Negative results do not prove that a positive is not true.........
98% sure I have had a couple of threes..............
100% sure, u didn t.

And right now I am only running time boosters.
That said, lots of ENG and SCI so those who have a robust Jadzia roster, Sphere Builder and the right ENG pilots definitely have an edge.
Just early impressions ...

In that case, can you post a screenshot of it to this thread
https://forum.disruptorbeam.com/stt/discussion/694/wiki-edits-that-need-to-be-added#latest
So they they can update the following page for this events missions.

Maybe you should pick one of the 3 event factions then, because you clearly did not if you got a 3 seater.
