    Assimilated Troi. Very interesting.

    thanks for giving me a free weekend, I already have drone Seven of Nine and I don't care about Assimilated Troi and Braxton!

    What ships will be involved in the Skirmish portion?
  • <TGE> Clifford<TGE> Clifford ✭✭✭✭✭
    No ships listed? :(

    Also, I'm assuming faction is first. Please inform me if I am incorrect.

    Isn't faction always first?

    Yikes. Big ol' swing and a miss on this event.
  • ShanShan ✭✭✭✭✭
    The ships /slaps head - added now.
    And corrected the phase order as well, it will be Skirmish first and then Faction.

    While I really hate non-canon crew, they do make for great event re-use usually due to their “hybrid” qualities. :-)
    Accepted. Mark them, Galt.

    Score! When I heard borg events were coming Drone 7 of 9 was the first borg I FE'd. Also, I haven't been able to finish off my Bridge Officer Troi yet from a few events back, so she'll be a useful. Troi is one of my least favorite characters, but she's been very useful lately.

    Braxton? Hopefully it's the actor from Future's End.

    Wow. Another non canon card. Easy skip.
  • Zetterbeard Zetterbeard ✭✭✭✭✭
    Reman Scimitar right?

    Yup.

    Why would we get it before the 1701-E???

    Isn't the probability of Borg | Seven = 100%? Seems redundant to bonus her :-)
    Accepted. Mark them, Galt.

    At least it's a partial skirmish. Been too long since we had a full one. And troi means an event crew for med seats in a borg event shuttles. Braxton is not exactly exciting, but that was a super entertaining storyline in Voyager.

    Very poor decision to make the Skirmish first when most players are more busy and won’t be able to do as much.

    I totally forgot there were two actors. I only remembered Bruce Magill playing him. Wonder whose likeness they licensed?

    Looks good to me. I wanted a Braxton now I can have one. A cool new Troi. An Empath Borg would be of great use to the collective. Not only could she find cloaked or hidden people and assimilate them, she could also see which Borg are about to defect or have lost their link to the collective. Not sure why Section 31 crew would get a bonus but maybe DB is gearing up for a Discovery Section 31 event month.
    Let’s fly!

    Agreed. I prefer the two-day Skirmishes overall, but a full-fat four-day Skirmish every 3-4 months would be nice to help with stockpiling, not to mention the extra ~20K Honor.

    yay another skirmish, thanks as always Shan - and Silver Seven will even be a bonus, one more reason to look forward to having her :)

    Should finally be the first MED Borg. I’m good with that. I don’t get too worked up for canon vs. non-canon if it’s done well. We shall see.

    That's been a need/ask for awhile now. A Borg with MED Skill.

    Be careful because silver seven will not be an event crew and will only provide medium bonus.

    What's clear from these latest hybrids, skirmishes aren't making money. So they are going first followed by an event type DB can monetize more.

    I expect to see some kind of adjustment to skirmish to either reduce chroniton drops or do something else to encourage more spending.

    I'd be curious how many people do the +10 dil reward doubling, since their monetized value in chrons and honor (for those that need or want them) is some of the best ROI in the game (3:1 - 4:1 vs cheapest 'market value', by my estimate). Micropurchases of 10 dil rewards can add up over the course of a skirmish, but no telling how many folks do them....
    Accepted. Mark them, Galt.
