Alright we got to freeze all the cadets...will this end the crying for "free slots"? NOPE. I see post where people say they have 57 1/4 crew. This shouldn't happen. Don't let your crew situation get this bad. Make a couple hard choices here and there. You don't need Cyrus Redblock fffe RIGHT NOW. MANAGE YOUR CREW people. If you don't have space, don't pick up a 1/4 crew. Can't collect them all RIGHT NOW, collect them all LATER. Why the need for complete instant gratification? I've spent almost 3 years collecting MOST of the crew. I don't have the space for ALL. And I'm OK with that. I promise it'll be OK not having all the characters in your crews.
Yes you just want newer players to not compete with you we get it. No new player can open packs at some point, that is what you want. Move along.
We were all in the same situation at one point or another, and yet we all made it through. We are PROOF that you don't need all the crew slots. You know how many 1,2,3, and 4* crew I have in my crew quarters right now? 27.
And back then there were FAR less crew, so every drop you had much higher chances to get a needed star vs a new 1/4 or whatever. I'm sorry you can't see that.
I know perfectly well they have more crew now than "back then". If i had no space TODAY, and couldn't cryo anyone, i would Airlock my 1/4s and keep my FREE 3/4s each and every week. Buy some SR citations with all the honor you are getting from airlocking your 1/4 crew. Those 1/4 crew you get in the portal are not useful until they are 4/4. If you don't have space for them, dump them and get the crew you DO have space for finished, sent to cryo, and THEN you go after a new 1/4. Delay your gratification, make logical choices. It will feel that much more like an achievement when you get there.
Example: in a galaxy event, you get a FREE 4/4 crew from thresholds. Get that card, level it up, freeze it. You need approximately 1200-2000 chrons to FE a crew member. That is 1 week of smart choices. Guess what, the very next week you get a chance at a minimum 3/4 crew to work on. Don't fool with a 1/4 from the portal. Fool with the 3/4 or 4/4 from the event.
I used 20k dil, bought 75 slots plus the 5 free. Luckily 1338 left, 2 days to claim monthly card, 2 days left on sale. 5 more slots before it ends for me. Opened 28 10x packs, 63 singles, 162 basic 10x and 178 singles. Was a busy day.
I see the Crew Slot sale was extended until next Tuesday. So glad I stayed up late grinding last night to immortalize crew for extra dilithium...
With the Convergence Day stuff becoming Convergence Week, I am more convinced a certain Borg/Photonic Being With Hunger Pains might be the Featured in next Tuesday's Special Pack.

I am okay with this. I’m hoping it will be like my experience with getting Mirror Shukar (buy one or two packs, give up, find out it was bugged, get a Mirror Shukar via in-game mail) instead of like Gary Seven (drop way too much money, get a 3/5* Spider Barclay, get sad, end up with an Elusive Treasures surprise - from a sorry-pack after another bug - several months later). Lesson learned: buy at least one pack as soon as it goes live, in case there is a bug that gets fixed in a pleasant manner.

I think I would prefer a 3* seven and a 3* doctor being added to the game and letting them be fused to create the crew. Or maybe they created a 4* to 5* fusion using existing characters and no one has noticed it yet.
