    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.

    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. :-)

    The whole episode was weird. The whole series we were told that The Doctor's program could not be duplicated and then this ep says yes he could be duplicated and was. It was very much like the episode where The Doctor goes to the Alpha Quadrant to the Prometheus and Paris was left to run the sickbay. Paris convinces Kim to make a hologram doctor but it doesn't work and Kim basically says it is impossible. Then a few episodes later Voyager crew easily make a new hologram doctor Crell Moset.

    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.

    I suspect it's just bad luck. I bought five packs last week and got three Humble Archers, seven packs this week for no Sisko's 😔

    The event packs have always been 10% legendary chance. 29 packs for 3 event legendaries is spot on. It's a terrible rate and I refuse to buy packs to chase legendaries as a result, but that's what the numbers have always been and it seems like plenty of people here are happy to throw money at a 10% chance. If you did better in the past it was luck, if you have a stretch of 20 packs with no 5*, that's bad luck the other way.

    I can only speak to my own results. Dozens of packs in the last year giving me approx 33% drop rate. Dozens of packs recently giving me 10%. 33% is worth it for me, 10% is not.

    I had intended to try 3-4 packs in hopes of landing an extra HR Sisko, but the first pack dropped K'mtar, a 5* behold (2nd star for Frank Hollander), and zero schematics (aka 800 honor). Felt like RNGesus was telling me to be satisfied with that, so I decided to save the Dil for a future opportunity.

    He is High Roller Sisko and so I decided to gamble a little more on packs. I bought five more packs. These were much better and gave me 3 Siskos, 1 Angel Riker and 1 K'mtar. It has been a long day: 16 packs, 4 Siskos, 1 Virtuoso Doctor, 1 Arachnia Janeway, 8 K'mtars and 8 Angel Needing a Shirt or Chest Wax Rikers and I am exhausted. Good luck everyone in the event.

  • 25 packs opened and still no Sisko.

    My dil at the reset gave me enough for a pack which got me K'mtar, so I guess I won't be buying that cheap offer when it changes after all.

    I can live with a 2/5 Sisko. I'll just add him to my "to cite list".

    Hi all,

    There was an error regarding K'mtar's skills, he has DIP not CMD - it has been corrected in the event notes.

    I have inquired about the ranked rewards, they are correct as they stand for this event and will not be changed. I brought up your concerns that this is different from most Faction events.

    Would you please bring our concerns about the hologram trait for EMA up as well?

    Will there be three seat shuttles this Event?

    There’s a thread in engineering about not being able to play. Some sort of connectivity issue, seems to be mostly hitting European players.

    Yeah. I got a few each Fraction opening the first 24 for the jumpstart.

    After the last Fraction Event, had to ask........

  • Yep UK here. Ended up getting in using 4G. Effing crisis averted :)

    I guess I am saving my kickstart time boosts for another event. Still trying to get the first run of shuttles out here in Australia.

    Same here. Dont see the point of using any booster ob this event. With this much time gone the top 1000 is already gone.

    So what are squad leader sharing? I was going to share Etana but I only saw a decent amount of eng seats in the KCA missions.

    I'm currently sharing 2/5 Sisko since sec seats are bountiful in each faction.
  • DavideBooksDavideBooks ✭✭✭✭✭
    I expect those who have Sisko are sharing him.
  • (HGH)Apollo(HGH)Apollo ✭✭✭✭✭
    Yep, almost no engineering shuttles and K'mtar is of limited use with so little science.

    No problems here on my ipad. Sorry to see so many people having issues.

    For those who think the event is lost: remember that there are many of you who will have a late start. Don't give up yet if you've only lost a few hours when the connection is back!
  • FlemmingFlemming ✭✭✭✭✭
    Diplomacy seems to be the skill of choice for a lot of shuttles, you might find that Etana has an advantage to sharing, especially if you don't have Sisko:
    (This is the ranking by Diplomacy Skill, for my crew this event, notice where Etana and Sisko fall)

    I have not yet tried to Fully Equip up K'mtar, so that is why he doesn't yet appear on this list.

    Believe me the event is lost. In Europe it is nearly the end if the day. I struggle to get into the top band of missions before bed under normal conditions (meaning I have to run overnight missions at lower than 4000 VP)

    With the new thresholds it is a struggle to even hit thresholds without using time boosters or extra shuttles and that is starting at the normal start time.

    Starting 2 and a half hours late means a tough catch up for European players

    I think the fair thing to do would be to give everyone effected a free EMA. Might get ugly like the Pinafore Data debacle though.
