    The good deals keep coming, looks like.......

    This isn't a special holiday deal. It's becoming typical of DB to offer an old variant of upcoming event crew on the Tuesday before the event.

    Whether or not it's a "good" deal depends on the character, and sadly, Mobile Doctor has been power-creeped into oblivion. One of the lowest Voyage scores from a three-skill character, no Gauntlet use, and one usable base. A year ago he'd have been adequate, but now we have Cornwell, Bell Riots Bashir, and all the other additions to the portal - not to mention the excellent EMA himself. Med is no longer the rarity it was in 2017.

    Sorry, Doc. The Mark 1 EMH is obsolete!

    Funny how different folks look at various crew. I find Mobile Doc to still be very good crew and use him every day.
  • DavideBooksDavideBooks ✭✭✭✭✭
    I like the deal, but I would like crew space to put my new crew. Therefore, I will pass. It is certainly a deal, considering the normal cost of chronitons (which I've never bought). I would probably find a way for crew spots if it were not a galaxy event.
  • Still a good card I think - and one of the best of these offers!
  • Got it because I already have him 1 star..... Silly not to grab him and the chrons.
  • He's right between Corny and BR Bashir for me at 1358 MED...still very useful
    DB = Climbing up an endless wall...
  • It’s a good deal but I really don’t need another 1/5 right now and I dumped $35 into the game lately with two offers.

    When it comes around for a legendary i already have or a strong base like Durango Troi, I’ll be in.

    I just had a behold yesterday where I took Mirror Beverly over Mobile Doc (had neither), but I thought the Doc still looked solid enough - especially for an older card. Sure, he's got lots of competition these days, but he's ok. And of course, if you already have him and need stars, this is still a good offer (imo).
  • FlemmingFlemming ✭✭✭✭✭
    Most crews are shallow in MED, so most might jump at this. (I have him at 1* so the cheap add on is welcome).
    Intentionally Left Blank

    I have him at 2/5; adding a star will move him from my #8 base med to #4. If I hadn't bit on the last two offers I might go for it.
  • AMDGAMDG ✭✭✭
    Even for a Vip0 like myself another 1/5 with that skill combo is useless, and takes yet another slot. I even ignored the very good EMA because my Rev Phlox is due for an upgrade.
  • Zetterbeard Zetterbeard ✭✭✭✭✭
    I took the offer because I have wanted the Mobile Doc for a while once maxed he will be my 7th base med.
  • PenguinJimPenguinJim ✭✭✭✭✭
    Awww, I feel bad for being so critical of the Doc, now - especially as I was really hoping to get him throughout 2017! I do think any three-skill "Bridge Crew" legendary offer at $10 is a reasonable deal, and those with him at three or four stars already are lucky to have this opportunity - and they don't need me to tell them that!

    But at one or two stars, I question his value considering today's portal crew and this week's EMA. Mobile Doctor doesn't even have a sound effect (which, given the wealth of Robert Picardo material available, is a crime!). His only value is base Med. If you don't have him and his ~920 base Med points to send out on an everyday shuttle, then it'll just be ~905-point Mirror Phlox or whoever. In fact, Mobile Doctor doesn't even overtake Combat Medic Paris' base Med until the Doc reaches three stars.

    And with his lack of traits and lack of endgame prowess, he's not worth multiple legendary citations, either. So for players to whom he's new, he's just going to take up a crew slot - and maybe add 0.5% onto an everyday shuttle here and there.

    Re-read my own post several times. Still not sure where I said "Holiday".......

    In fairness, it is the best deal all year.

    Been waiting all year to make that joke?

  • Why isn’t the Mobile Doc offer in the portal like 1701 Sisko was? I’d love to be able to get two extra stars on mine for just $20

    That should be the way to do it, now. A lot of people might not have wanted two Siskos, but would want two Doctors.......

    I think its a great deal if you already have him, I mean to add one star on a officer that is already taking up a spot seems like a no brainer to me;)

    For half the price of a double up, and you get free chrons, and credits if you care about credits;)
  • I literally cited him to immortal this morning before this offer. I would gladly have dropped $10 and used the honor elsewhere I have amazing timing.
  • S31S31 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Currently I have him at 3/5 and his Med with bonuses is 1020.

    I don't know if I will buy him, at 4/5 his Med base stat would be around 1300.
  • Funny how different folks look at various crew. I find Mobile Doc to still be very good crew and use him every day.

    He has huge Med stats for shuttles at 5/5*
  • Dirk GundersonDirk Gunderson ✭✭✭✭✭
    He’s been pushed down a bit on my to-immortalize list now that I have the EMA but I jumped on this instantly to get him to 3/5*. Excellent deal, thank you DB!
  • I bit on this. I admit the stats aren’t outstanding, but I am very partial to the Doctor, and I missed out on Cornwell so my MED crew is still pretty shallow (though EMA helps greatly there). Plus, I was running pretty low on chrons going in to this week’s event, so this also helped buy me a little more cushion.
  • DavideBooksDavideBooks ✭✭✭✭✭
    When I look at a character's stats, i look at the 1* stats. I may eventually gain extra stars or cite them, but citations go to best crew first. I am not currently low on med, so I will focus on others. But ultimately, it is the lack of crew slots that keeps this back.

    Wow, that's some bad luck on the timing for you.

    I have been sitting on a 50k honour for a few days, but I waited to get a citation until after noon today just in case DB pulled a fast one and made citations half price or something.
  • Ive got him 3/5 so i will most likely be getting this offer.
  • Got my Mobile Doc immortalised from this deal. I already had him at 4/5 so I felt £9 was worth it along with the extras the pack gave me.
