  • I’d call number 3 best base MED a little better than okay, but that’s just me.

    His COM stat is gross though. Humbled Archer was a better card IMO

    MED/SEC is an under-represented pair though. I still use Mirror Phlox on voyages somewhat often to cover it.

    That's because Mirror Phlox is a beast :)

    Hadn't even thought about Med/Sec. But I am stocked on Med so that's probably why I am so so on EMH. I'll try to get him

    Edit - just checked, I have 9 legendaries with med/sec

    I mean MED with a SEC secondary. There are several like Darth Bashir and Cornwell that have a decent SEC third stat, but it’s still basically a throw-in. I may be overlooking some though.

    I would like to point out that he should still have the hologram trait.

    Came to say the same. Definitely should also have hologram.

    They still aren't abandoning this 5* for the next event nonsense eh? I was hopeful they might actually see how awful it is and go back

    I support this comment.

    Can we get an explanation for why the ranked rewards table has been changed?

    It seems Top 16-25 now nets you only one 5* character when you received two 5* before.

    This seems the opposite of what most captains have asked - better distributing rewards in the top 1k... 🤦‍♂️

    I'm very much looking forward to EMA. The only legends that I have with med/sec or sec/med primary/secondary are Gladiator McCoy and Merry Men Crusher. It's actually a pretty uncommon skillset.

    Nice. I would like to point out that he should still have the hologram trait. Although the aliens contacted in "Living Witness" thought the Doctor was an android instead of a hologram, the Warship program consisted of holograms...Warship Janeway, Chackotay etc have the hologram triat.

    Yes, exactly. How in the world did they manage to mess this up? I mean, they’ve done a handful of other “Warship” crew already and they ALL have the Hologram trait as they should, but no, when it finally comes to the coolest one that I’ve been waiting and waiting for, they screw it up. He should have Hologram AND Android, because he’s a holographic recreation of an android, just like Chakotay and Janeway both have Hologram AND Human and Tuvok has Hologram AND Vulcan!
    Weirdly enough, I’m also Vulcan Housewife. Also, RNGesus hates me, like really, REALLY hates me.

    Also, Frank Hollander has both Hologram and Android (because he's a holographic recreation of Data), so it's certainly not unheard of. Sounds like they probably just forgot in this case.

    People've been asking for rewards to be more smoothed through the ranks so it's not virtually the same for 26-1000 (factions) or 16-1000 (others). Now we go backwards to make them even less? In a way that affects the players who are trying (or paying) the hardest? :unamused:

    Yay stats, but EMA should have the Hologram trait.
    First Physician trait is refused for President of Earth and Command Hologram even though he performed physician duties in those episodes including surgery, now a holographic simulation of an android version of him isn't a hologram. :lol:

    Maybe you've got reasons to limit some traits. But as a game based on characters we care about, do justice to them with deserved traits? coughWeyoun6cough
    </Airing of Grievances>

    Okay. Did the EMH do "doctor stuff" AS The President of Earth, though? Or as the EMH outside of the Holodeck? Been a bit since I watched that one on NetFlix.

    He is an EMH! By definition he IS a hologram.

    Was hoping for some siskos as he is the best security base stat in the game. The two legendaries were good though.

  • PoE's missing the Costumed trait too since he's in costume like other holodeck visitors - Princess Jadzia, Falcon O'Brien, Prospero, Robin Hood, RAF Bashir (still a Physician), Arachnia, Captain Proton Paris, Buster Kincaid Kim...

    As is High Roller Sisko, since you brought it up.

  • So now even for Faction events, Top 25 only grants 1 legendary? :/

    I know for galaxies and hybrids it already was quite common, but still.
    Instead adding and/or extending ranked rewards, they remove stuff. :|

    The scaling of ranked rewards has always been terrible imo. I'm actually surprised that they decided to make them worse.

    Instead they extend out the threshold to make it even tougher to complete. When what people have been clamoring for is a better ranked system

    Added a Sisko to make mine 2/5. When the offers switch, I'll buy the cheap K'mtar offer to hopefully get another Sisko.

    Since K'mtar is a diplomat, he will be my 25th for the collection and get me the last diplomacy bonus.

    I...also had a behold that led me to choose a Virtuoso Doctor on my fifth pack. #twinsies
  • DScottHewittDScottHewitt ✭✭✭✭✭
    I'm just saying maybe they chose to not have the physician trait on PoE for reasons. Why is it fifty other people dress like Klingons and get the Klingons trait, yet Blood Oath Jadzia is Godfather to three Klingon families, bound by a sacred oath under Klingon tradition, and does not have the Klingon trait? Because they decided to do it that way. It does not matter what we feel. The ultimate choice is theirs.

    I know they have been promising to add that trait to her, but since it has been promised for five years or something, I quit holding my breath........

  • Oh great the new crew is threshold again ...

    That's the new standard for faction events for a while now. Probably a TP call, since it could possibly motivate people to buy packs or the $9.99 offer.
  • Is rank 201-650 supposed to have identical rewards?

    If it was actually thought through on their part and we disagreed with their reason, that would be fine. But a lot of these traits do not feel thought through. They feel like different designers picked traits for individual crew with no thought about decisions made on similar crew. Sometimes it feels like the designer doesn't know the source material and just picks based on the memory alpha summary. And some designers may not even be aware of trait options available.

    That's what the complaint is about. Not if someone in a holodeck should have their primary trait or not, but why some characters do have their traits and others don't.

    Remember that the EMA was what the historians on that planet thought the EMH was from the available information not what the EMH really was. The Doctor had to explain all of the things they got wrong. Also, if EMA was both android and hologram it would make him more powerful than the others. DB likes to have an either/or some traits not both.

    More rank rewards doesn't make DB $, more threshold rewards does. It's that simple.

    I bought 6 more event packs and finally got a Sisko. The two purple blanks you can't see were K'mtar. 11 event packs total today and only one event legendary is really terrible. Last week I bought 10 event packs and only got two event legendaries. With Mountaineer Spock event I bought 8 event packs and no event legendary spocks at all. So 29 event packs for 3 event legendaries is really poor. I used to average about 1 event legendary per 3.5 event packs. These drop rates don't really make me want to buy more packs. Maybe that is intentional. Make the odds so poor that people are forced to buy the $100 deals instead of the $25.

    To complicate even further .... I seem to recall some throwaway technobabble dialogue in the episode stating that the re-creations weren’t actually holograms but some sort of technology even further along. If I got that right, then technically none of the Warship crew should have a hologram trait under a strict constructionist reading of the source material. :-)
    Accepted. Mark them, Galt.

    I can't see me thawing anybody for this one except for Barbie Riker, and he will only be semi-useful.

    Edit: unless of course all the shuttles are 5 crew.

    There’s no way at all that that will happen. They won’t give us all 5 seat shuttles. They’ll introduce a few 6 seat shuttles 😛

    I am expecting a lack of 3 seaters again. We have even more bonus crew this run around.
